    In this video I cover some things that will happen to your pool after a heavy rain storm. I also cover things you should do to get your pool back in shape.
    Basically the chlorine and pH level will be the most effected. The pool might also be trashed with leaves, dirt and debris. You want to jump on it right away to prevent a harder clean up and to prevent things from getting worse especially if another storm is on the way.

    There was a major storm in bakersfield and my pool is horrible 1ft of dirt the cleaner gets burried in debris. But the major problem is the pump I clean the basket every 30 min and when i prime it back up. BEFORE THE STORM the preasure is at 17 clean basket but after the storm when i clean the basket its at 6 or 7. I clean it again and it goes to 9. Also the my hayward nav pro is clear of dirt in the turbine but pods are moving really slow. The pump is also extremly loud for so,me reason. I HAVE A INTELLOFLO PENTAIR PUMP ALL MY EQUIPMENT IS PENTAIR

      Getting the tail end of that storm down here in the San Gabriel Valley. Couldn't get in to work today in Glendora due to mandatory evacuations. Sounds like you have some debris stuck in the pump impeller.Remove the basket and try to spin the impeller with a screwdriver. If you take the pump lid off and don't hear the customary gurgling chances are the impeller is jammed with debris. I have a video on it in my Pump Not Working Playlist. A canister for the cleaner is a good idea also if you don't yet have one.

      Emilee Kasperson You need a cover pump. They sell them on amazon.com and at your local pool store. If you open the cover with water on it it will damage the motor or in some cases cause the cover to rip off of the tracks.

      If the water is balanced then do nothing. That is a good thing.

    Had a lot of rain and my pool overflowed. I have a vinyl liner. Can an overflow cause damage to the pool in anyway? Anything I should do besides lowering water level? Do you have any videos on this topic? Thanks

    • @SPL
      @SPL  7 лет назад

      Should be okay. The frame on those can usually support the extra weight of the water. But drain it to the correct level when you can.

    Pool rookie here--if water level is too high after a heavy rain and I am out of town and cannot lower pool level, can the pump continue to run? Even if air isn’t getting into the skimmer? I know it is bad for a pump when water level is low but will it damage pump equipment when water level is high?

    • @SPL

      No real issues with high water in the pool.

    Run my sand filter pump 2 hours a day, and shock it with hth 7 in one once a week and always have at least 1-2 chlorine tabs in the float skimmer in the pool. “But” my pool is 15x48 and has a tree hanging over it and it only in use once s week yet it still gets cloudy and algae build-up sometimes a little greenish. Once I shock it it clears up only for a day though. What am I doing wrong??? I checked water stats a day after shocking it and ph is great but chlorine is 0.5!

    • @SPL
      @SPL  5 лет назад +1

      Try running your pump more than 2 hours a day. A pool that size needs 12-14 hours.

    Do you have to worry about winter water levels with a vinyl safety cover?

    • @SPL
      @SPL  4 года назад

      No, just get a cover pump and drop it in the center. Like the Little Giant pump. It will activate if there is a 1/2" of water and turn off when cover is drained of water.
