Maintaining the pool will ensure your family has comfortable and enjoyable swimming experiences. Schedule pool equipment repair as needed, as faulty filters, pumps, and internal mechanisms can make the water dirty and not suitable for use. Here are a few signs that indicate you need to seek professional help.

How to Know If You Need Pool Equipment Repairs

1. Low Water Levels

If you notice the water level constantly falling, there’s a leak somewhere in a pipe under the pool. A leak can also occur when there are tears in the suction lines that deliver liquid to the heater, filter, and chlorinator. If you’ve been refilling the structure to compensate for the loss, stop immediately. Doing so will unbalance the water chemistry and diminish the potency of the chemicals used to keep the liquid and liner clean.

2. Dirty Water

If dirt and sand particles are floating in the liquid, there’s something wrong with the pool filter. The filter is assisted by pumps and motors, and it keeps the pool clean and contaminants out of the liquid.

A clog can compromise the filtration system. If you have a sand filter, a crack may have caused the particles to seep into the pool. Turn off filtration equipment until a repair professional can assess the situation.

3. Freezing Water

If the water is still cold after swimming for a minute or two, there’s something wrong with the pool heater. There may be debris or equipment damage that’s restricting air inflow, which means the heater can’t warm the water. Continuing to use the heater will worsen the problem, so turn it off until it’s examined.
