If your pump is not running, you may need to contact a swimming pool contractor. In our experience, the following steps may assist you:- For a pool, reset the pump or filter pump breaker. Then, set the proper time in the Intermatic timer. Finally, turn on the orange or red switch below the timer. This can get your pump working again.
- If you have a pool and spa, you should only reset the pool pump or filter pump breaker. No additional steps are needed.
What if my pool water gets too high?
If your pool water gets too high, you may want to reach out to a swimming pool contractor. In our experience, the following steps may be effective in troubleshooting:- If the water level is touching the tile just below the curved coping brick, then there is not a visible issue. If you feel the level needs to be lowered, there is a manual drain at your pump that you can use to reduce the water level.
- If there is heavy rain and you're concerned that your pool might overflow and damage your home, remember that Bafco Pools has designed the deck to drain into the deco drains and out into the yard. During intense rainfall, it may take a little time for the overflow system to catch up, but the water will still flow toward the drains on the deck. Bafco Pool decks are also designed with a pitch to direct water away from the home and prevent flooding.
Is my pool leaking?
In our experience, it is normal to lose up to two inches of water per week through normal evaporation. If you are heating your pool or causing excessive splashing, your water loss amount could be higher. If you wish to do further testing, fill a bucket and place it on a step or sun shelf. Then, mark the water level inside the bucket as well as the pool water level on the outside. Both should evaporate at the same rate. If there is a noticeable difference, you may have a leak and will need professional leak detection services through a swimming pool installation company. Contact Bafco Pools for more information!
