Prevents Any Blockages
When you use an outdoor pool on a regular basis, it's inevitable that random dirt, debris and foliage will end up inside of it. When there is a lot of debris in your pool, it can get stuck in the pool heater. The way pool heaters work is that they intake the pool water through one valve, heat up the water inside the machine and then send out the warm water through another valve. So if you constantly have loose objects floating around in your pool, they can get stuck in the heating valve, which can damage it and prevent it from doing its job effectively. One of the main elements of a pool service is complete pool vacuuming. This can help remove loose objects from your pool, keeping it clean and keeping your pool heater free from blockages.
Maintaining pH to Reduce Mineral Buildup
One of the most important parts of pool maintenance is checking the pH regularly to ensure that your pool is clean and safe to use. When your pool pH is too high your pool can develop mineral scaling, which is essentially a hard buildup of minerals. This can get stuck to the pipes of your pool heater reducing its effectiveness. If the pH in your pool is too low it can actually corrode the metal elements of your pool, including your heater. If this happens, you’ll most likely need to replace your existing heater. Regular pool cleaning and testing can help you maintain the pH of your pool water, which is necessary to increase the useful life of your pool heater.
Improves Water Circulation
Strong circulation is key to ensuring that your pool heater is able to effectively distribute warm water throughout your pool. Algae growth can be an unsightly and common occurrence in pools that can inhibit strong water circulation. Algae often grows on the walls of pools and it can cause serious issues to the pumping elements, including the heater. Your pool filter can become clogged by algae, inhibiting the flow of clean water into the pool. When dirty water is not being filtered out of the pool, the dirt and debris along with the algae itself can clog up the pipes of your pool heater. When the pipes are clogged, your heater cannot circulate warm water into your pool, as a result, you may require a pool heater repair service. At WaveTechs, we always ensure to scrub the walls of your pool during our service to ensure that we dislodge any algae growth, keeping your pool and heater clean.
