Hello
I am new to this forum, but my pool is now 10 years old and starting to show signs of equipment wear and tear such as 1 of the two pool pumps, up and quitting on me. The main pump which runs the pool seems to be working ok, but the pump that controls the pool fountain is no longer working. Also, the cylinder White pool filter that we clean twice a year, is getting a bit old, showing signs of staining like it was smoking cigarettes for too long, may be affecting my Polaris robotic pool cleaner ( sometimes ) because of limited water pressure coming out of the outlet/inlet.So maybe after 10 years of good pool use, replacing both pumps, instead of just the 1 pump that is no longer working, perhaps replacing the filter, anything else? Might be a worthwhile consideration.
BTW, I live in San Mateo, CA where the temperature is not as warm as in other places. The solar heating for our pool is currently heated at 78, as it is a bit cool and overcast today. But it works really well. So well that I only run the heater 1 time per year to keep the spiders out and to avoid replacing the pool heater sooner than expected. For our 600‘ pool, we are running 600’ solar (100% coverage) which I highly recommend in the lower climate areas such as mine.
Thanks very much for any thoughts or ideas on perhaps replacing both pumps, even though 1 is currently working, or any other best pool practices without spending so much money that I still can’t get to grow from the trees.
