Your pool pump and filter are major investments. Proper maintenance can extend their lifespan by years.
Keep Pump Baskets Clean
Clogged baskets force your pump to work harder, increasing wear and energy consumption.
Avoid Running the Pump Dry
Never allow water levels to drop below the skimmer. Dry running can burn out the motor quickly.
Backwash or Clean Filters Properly
- Sand filters: Backwash when pressure rises 8–10 PSI
- Cartridge filters: Clean every 4–6 weeks
- DE filters: Recharge after backwashing
Check for Leaks
Small leaks can lead to air entering the system, reducing efficiency and damaging components.
Schedule Professional Inspections
An annual inspection prevents unexpected breakdowns during peak swimming season.
