During the winter months the pool will have been set for reduced hours and chlorine output, these settings and frequency of maintenance will need to increase as summer approaches.
Now is a good time to get out and test the chlorine and ph levels of your pool. if your chlorine is below 3ppm you should take immediate action to rectify this, such as manually adding chlorine to the pool and checking the salt water chlorinator’s production level and running time. There may be other reasons the pool a saltwater chlorinator might not be producing sufficient chlorine for the pool , such as a calcified cell for which you can look at the cell to see if there is any white buildup over the plates or sensors , or perhaps a low level salt content in the pool water which can be checked for during a pool water test.
By taking some preventative steps now you can make your easier to handle and safer for your family.
