After a long period of heavy rain, such as we’ve just experienced here in Peralada, it is always a good idea to check that the water level in your pool hasn’t risen too high. If it is over the top of your skimmer level (lift the lid and look inside) then your pool will not filter properly - the surface dust and dirt will not clear.

If the level is too high then you need to lower it by running your pump to waste. Don’t forget to open the waste valve and ALWAYS turn off the motor before moving the multivalve.

It is also a good idea to check that your pump house hasn’t flooded, especially if it is below ground.

Today, Mike and Richie will be checking all of our client’s pools to ensure the correct water levels.

Richie and I have almost finished our pool surveys for all our client’s pools. Water analysis will follow soon and then we will be posting our results and recommendations to our clients.

The survey is very comprehensive, covering 25 points in five main areas: The Filter, Valves, Pump/Motor, Pool and Equipment and includes a full water analysis.

The idea behind each survey is to provide our clients with an up-to-date report on the state of their pool and to highlight and resolve any potential problems for the coming season that might affect the enjoyment of their pool.

If you would like us to provide a free survey of your pool, without obligation, then please let us know using our contact form or give us a ring.

The water restrictions that have been in place in the Alt Empordà throughout last summer and this winter have now been lifted.

This means that swimming pools can now be emptied for essential maintenance such as re-grouting or water replacement.

Over the next few weeks we will conducting a survey of our clients pools, machinery and equipment including an exhaustive water quality analysis. A report will then be compiled and sent to each client highlighting any problems (actual or potential) and including recommendations.

The aim of the survey is to ensure that your pool is operating effectively, efficiently and that it is in perfect condition for the coming season.

Please be advised that our office will be closed for the Christmas and New Year holiday period from the 22nd December 2008 - 6th January 2009 inclusive.

This week our Boys are winterising all our covered pools.  Now that the temperature has dropped this is the ideal time to do so. 

Winterising involves: lowering the Ph if necessary; increasing the chlorine if necessary and adding the winterising fluid in the amount appropriate to the size of the pool.

This is sufficient for the next three months, after which they will be going round again and adding further amounts of winterising fluid to last until the beginning of the new season.

Your covered pool will of course still be checked on a monthly basis, and more frequently should the weather conditions so require

If you’ve visited our website before you will have noticed that we’ve slightly changed things around! A completely new look which we hope you like.

The main change we’ve made is the addition of this blog. We want to inform and help you as much as we can in maintaining your swimming pool and tell you what we are doing as a company; we feel a blog is the best way to do this.

The blog is not the only thing we’ve added. I’d like to draw your attention to two new services that we are offering: The Piscines Peralada Club and Temporary Maintenance Contracts. Check out the site for more information or contact us and we would love to get back to you.
