4 Common Pool Repairs You Should Make
Now that the pool season is over, it’s time to start thinking of repairs you can make that will increase the longevity of your pool. It’s easier to consider these projects when you aren’t also enjoying the summer by the poolside–now is the time to calculate your finances, and figure out what it will take to keep your pool functional for years to come. Without regular maintenance and repairs on off seasons, your pool will suffer. Read on for the most common pool repairs that you should be making this winter.
1. Replace your pool filter.
Pool filters are what keep your water free of oils and debris, which is unavoidable no matter how much you skim the surface during the season. With frequent cleanings, a pool filter can last for a long time–but everything needs replacing, and you should definitely make sure yours is functional before you mistakenly forgo this necessary repair.
2. Replace your pool heater.
As the water heater functions, minerals and other particles build up and clog the heating tubes. When maintenance of these parts is entirely ignored, replacement costs can rise up to $1,200. Maintenance definitely costs less, and will save you a big headache. Make sure your are either replacing your pool heater, or maintaining it properly on a regular basis.
3. Fix leaks.
Even if the leak is small, it’s still causing untold damage. A quick fix of the leak will save you hundreds, if not thousands. The repair may seem like an obvious choice, but it’s all too common for pool owners to completely ignore leaks in the favor of saving a few short-term dollars. This is a huge mistake.
4. Check your pump motor.
The pool pump is what is keeping your pool running regularly and smoothly. Without circulating water and heat, the pool ceases to function. And its disrepair may come as a surprise to those who don’t do yearly maintenance checks. To be sure, check the pump motor and ensure it is working properly.
