Spring… season of flowers, sunny days and pleasant temperatures. It's also the perfect time to start preparing your pool for the warmer months to come (if they aren't already!). Proper maintenance during the spring not only ensures that your pool is ready for use, but also helps extend the life of your equipment.
In summary, in this post we have separated some essential tips to help you take care of your pool this season. Follow along with us.
Start with a visual inspection.
First, carry out a complete visual inspection around your pool. Check the pool walls, floor, or edge for cracks. Small cracks can turn into big problems if not treated in time. In fact, if you find any cracks, seek the help of a professional immediately for the necessary repairs!
At the same time, check that there are no leaks and that the pipes are in good condition.
Provide a deep cleaning.
Especially after winter, it is common for your pool to accumulate dirt, leaves and debris. Therefore, before the refreshing swimming season officially opens, give your pool a deep clean. Remove the leaves, use a brush to clean the walls and bottom, and clean the food basket. skimmer (that hole through which the water is sucked and used to “strain” the dirt that floats on top of the water). In other words, make sure all debris is removed before turning on equipment.
Test the water quality and make any necessary chemical adjustments.
The quality of your pool water depends on the proper chemical balance. Also, use a test kit to measure pH, chlorine, and alkalinity levels as a way to prevent algae and bacterial growth. Balance these chemicals according to the manufacturer's instructions. Always keep in mind that crystal clear and well-balanced water is not only aesthetic, but mainly safety and health for those who are going to swim and have fun.
Carefully evaluate the filtration system.
The motor pump is the heart of your pool's filtration system, so keep an eye on it during the off-season, after all, whenever the engine is turned off for long periods it is necessary to give the equipment a good inspection.
During the months of lesser use the pool is subject to a greater load of dirt, so do not let debris accumulate around the pump motor openings. Clean the air intakes as necessary, thereby cooling the engine. Pay attention to the humidity of the location where the pump is located, keeping it in a well-ventilated place to avoid damaging the equipment's bearings.
Thinking about preparing your pool for the warmer months, clean or replace the filters, if necessary, to ensure effective filtration. Good circulation is undoubtedly essential to keep the water clean and clear.
Finally, if you don't already have one, consider adopting a thermal cover.
A thermal cover not only helps keep the water nicer, but it also prevents leaves, twigs, and other debris from falling into the pool when you're not using it. Furthermore, it reduces evaporation, saving water, energy (if the pool is heated) and chemicals.
In short, properly maintaining your pool during the spring requires a proactive approach, and choosing the right equipment plays a vital role in this process. As a result, by investing in an efficient motor pump, skimmer With quality and good coverage, you will be able to enjoy your pool on sunny days, create precious memories with family and friends, and, most importantly, ensure everyone's safety.
Discover SilenPlus
And you, do you have a pool at home? How is the pool prepared for the hottest months of the year? Stay tuned, the season is coming! But don’t worry, FAMAC has the right product to recommend for you!
SilenPlus is a swimming pool motor pump with an integrated frequency inverter, which certainly guarantees significant energy savings (up to 84% savings on electricity bills, compared to traditional pumps with fixed speed without inverter*).
This feature allows you to automatically vary the engine speed, adapting to the different work cycles of the pool:
- Filtering
- recirculation
- Rinsing the pool
- Pool emptying
- Filter backwash
Easy to install and simple to use, it has sealed bearings (anti-humidity) and technopolymer feet. Even more, it is ultra silent, generating maximum noise of up to 45 dB.
SilenPlus differences
control system
Device coupled to the filter that transmits via bluetooth the position of the filter valve to Silenplus. The pump activates or deactivates automatically, adapting its revolutions per minute (rpm) to the chosen work cycle, and therefore achieves a high level of efficiency, economy and comfort.
In short, it appears “like a wristwatch” that must be installed on the filter selection valve.
Filtration Plus
System that optimizes the filtration cycle, increasing efficiency. In practice, it saves electricity and, at the same time, improves the effectiveness of cleaning the pool surface. Silenplus operates at low revolutions, cyclically increasing its power to literally push dirt from the surface to the surface. skimmer.
The pump's work cycles specifically programmed for application in swimming pools, therefore, guarantee maximum cleaning efficiency.
Backwash Plus
Backwash system which, thanks to the specifically developed work cycle, increases the effectiveness of the process, reducing cleaning time and optimizing the filter's useful life. Therefore, the amount of water used for the backwash cycle decreases drastically (water consumption in the backwash cycle is up to 58% lower, compared to consumption using traditional pumps without an inverter (*)).

ESPA Evopool app
Application that allows you to remotely control the pump. Allows you to configure pump parameters, scheduling operating times, as well as managing alerts.
Therefore, we want to know: do you want to ensure that your pool is prepared for the hottest months of the year? So FAMAC pool pumps are the perfect solution for those who want to enjoy their leisure time without worrying or being scared about the energy bill!
