Pool Doctor FAQs

Check your pressure gauges. You should have one on the filter for the inlet and another on the filter for the outlet going back into the pool. If the outlet has more than a 10 PSI difference from the inlet, then you will want to check and/or change the filter. If the pressure difference gets to 20 PSI, then you will need to service the filter right away. Our pool company can help.

You should check the pH daily or weekly. Our pool company can give you a personal recommendation and help you with this.

There are two things that turn a pool green. One is algae, which is usually caused by a loss in your chlorine. You'll need to add chlorinating tablets to the water to fix this. The other reason a pool could be green is due to metal/minerals in the water. In this case, turn to our pool company for advice.

You can use chlorine tablets or you can use salt to maintain the pool pH. Get in touch with our pool company for the supplies and help you need.

Chemicals are required to maintain balance. You do not want to swim in a pool with no chemicals. All chemicals should be added in increments to get within the correct range and to have the proper time to dissolve and fully mix with the water. The CDC reports that swimming is the fourth most popular recreational sport nationwide. Therefore, be sure to properly chlorinate your pool in order to keep it safe for everyone using it.
