White Fly Infestation – Wreaking Havoc with pool chlorination systems in South Florida.

Posted by

In Southwest Florida, we are noticing low to 0 chlorine readings in pools where there is no apparent reason other than the fact that they have these white flies in or around their pool.  Obviously, this poses a problem in maintaining these pools – we can add chlorine one day and it’s virtually gone the next.   Southwest Florida pool owners are finding their well maintained pool suddenly becoming cloudy or milky looking for no apparent reason.  Many pools are getting algae seemingly overnight – this is because their chemicals are being depleted by these White Flies.  These flies are attracted to certain foliage and it’s actually their eggs that are disturbing the pool’s chemical levels.  Pool owners in South Florida may notice a white or dark sticky substance on plants, decks, furniture – this is all from the white fly.  Local landscape companies and pool maintenance companies are working overtime to stay on top of these pests.

If you are experiencing this problem, please contact Jeff Wilson Pool Service to help.

Naples Florida Pool Service – Filters

Posted by

Summer has arrived in Southwest Florida!! This time of year we can expect high temperatures and afternoon thunderstorms – both of which put a strain on your Naples Florida pool equipment. Often, the first sign that your pool is struggling is the development of algae which is sometimes unavoidable due to the dilution of chemicals from excessive rain; however, with proper maintenance and upkeep of your pool equipment, we can reduce the recurrence of algae significantly.

One of the most important components of your pools circulation system includes a filter. As with any kind of filter, they come in all different shapes and sizes, but fundamentally, their purpose is the same – To keep your pool clean and clear and operating efficiently. In order to ensure the pool is circulating properly, regular filter cleaning and regular replacement is necessary.

There are two basic types of pool filtration systems. Those that require a cartridge filter element and those that use a DE (Diatomaceous Earth) filter. Within these two categories of filters there are many different types, sizes, etc. depending on the equipment itself.

Regarding cartridge filter systems, we recommend that in addition to monthly cleaning of the element all cartridge filter elements should be replaced on an annual basis. Many of our customers choose to have this replacement performed automatically each year. In doing so, we are having fewer incidents of algae and therefore reducing the need for excessive chemicals and repairs.

For DE filter systems we recommend annual filter maintenance in addition to monthly cleaning of the filter. The annual filter maintenance consists of taking the filter apart, cleaning the grids and replacing the grids if necessary. This service extends the life of your filter.

At Jeff Wilson Pool Service, keeping your pool clean and clear is our job year round. Weekly Naples Florida pool maintenance and annual filter maintenance/replacement ensure that water is circulating properly, the pump is running efficiently, the filter is removing unwanted debris and the pool is looking beautiful.

Maintenance: Pools and spas need weekly maintenance.  At the very minimum, chemicals need to be monitored and kept in balance.  Additionally, brushing of the walls and tile, cleaning of the filter and vacuuming are all necessary to ensure the overall aesthetic quality of your pool.

Filters: Filters come in all different shapes and sizes.  There are DE filters and Cartridge filters, both do the same thing (filter out debris, organic matter, bacteria and algae), but they are not created equal.  Think about your filter as you would any other filter, eg: air conditioner filter, etc.  It is our experience that these filters not only need to be cleaned (backwashed) on a monthly basis, but they also require replacement or rebuilding at fairly regular intervals.  Typically, a cartridge filter requires replacement every 12-18 months.  For DE filters we recommend an annual maintenance program where the filter is taken apart, cleaned and grids are replaced if necessary.  All this ensures that water is circulating properly, the pump is running efficiently, the filter is removing unwanted debris and the pool is looking beautiful.

Algae: Algae happens, especially in Southwest Florida.  Tropical temperatures and summer showers are the key ingredients for algae.  The best defense for this bothersome bloom in addition to your weekly pool maintenance is regular filter replacement and timely reporting to JWPS.  Algae can be treated chemically, but the sooner the better!  Believe me, we don’t like it any more than you do!

Leaks vs. Evaporation: Every pool loses water, but for different reasons.  Evaporation plays a key part, and it is not uncommon to need additional water at least once a week.  For this reason, we request that our customers install a water timer on a spigot near the pool so that the pool technician can safely add water in your absence.   Pools requiring more frequent adding of water should be checked for a leak.  Early leak detection and reporting is crucial in protecting your investment.

Control Systems: There are multiple options, configurations and manufacturers of pool automation systems.  The most popular of these is the Jandy Aqualink.  We are very knowledgeable on the use, installation and repair of all these systems.  Are you frustrated with your current control system?   Programming your pool and equipment to your desired specifications is just a phone call away.

Salt Pools: Salt Systems have become a popular alternative to the typical sanitizing methods for maintaining a swimming pool.  The benefits are not only easy to see, but easy to feel.  The pool water is noticeably softer and will leave your skin feeling smoother and you feeling more refreshed after swimming.  Our monthly maintenance plans include the required disassembly and cleaning of your salt cell as needed.  If you don’t have a salt system already, the conversion is quick and easy, and best of all does not require draining of the pool.

Heaters: There are two different types of heaters – electric and gas.  Depending upon your usage, either one may be better suited for your needs or a combination of both may prove to be the most efficient solution.  We encourage our customers to contact us a few weeks prior to anticipating usage of their heaters so we can ensure everything is working properly and we can even arrange to have the pool/spa heated for your arrival!

Tile Cleaning: Many pools and spas accumulate white calcium and mineral buildup along the waterline tile or spillways.  This is not due to a lack of maintenance or cleaning, but rather as minerals are drawn from the pool shell and water they become deposited on the tile.  As with anything, addressing the problem as soon as possible is your best bet at preventing permanent tile damage.  This is not a task that your weekly maintenance technician can tackle.   This type of cleaning requires special equipment, skilled workmanship and can often take up to a full day to complete.

I hope you have found the above information informative and helpful.  Please call Jeff Wilson Pool Service for an appointment to evaluate and discuss your current and/or changing needs regarding your pool.  As the number one Naples pool maintenance company, we definitely appreciate the fact that an informed pool owner is a happy customer!  CLICK HERE TO CONTACT US
