Inspect Pipes and Valves Regularly
Your pool’s plumbing relies on pipes and valves to properly circulate water. Small problems can lead to bigger issues if ignored.
Safety checks to perform:
- Look for leaks around visible pipes and connections
- Ensure valves move freely and aren’t stuck
- Check for cracks or wear in exposed plumbing
- Listen for unusual gurgling or hissing sounds
Regular inspections help spot issues before they affect pool operation or water quality.
Maintain Proper Water Flow
Clogged or restricted pipes can reduce water circulation, impacting both filtration and safety.
Tips for keeping water moving:
- Clean skimmer baskets and pump strainers weekly
- Run pumps at recommended speeds to avoid strain
- Remove debris from filters and check for clogs in suction lines
Proper circulation prevents stagnant water, which can become a breeding ground for bacteria.
Protect Plumbing From Seasonal Hazards
Arizona summers can be tough on pool systems. High temperatures and sun exposure can accelerate wear on pipes and equipment.
Precautions to consider:
- Inspect exposed pipes for UV damage or cracks
- Ensure pumps are shaded or ventilated to prevent overheating
- Watch for leaks around pool lights or water features
Taking precautions now helps avoid costly repairs mid-season.
Know When to Call a Professional
Experts can best handle some pool plumbing problems. Signs you should contact a professional include:
- Persistent leaks you cannot identify
- Reduced water pressure or uneven flow
- Strange noises coming from pumps or pipes
- Issues with backwash, filters, or automated systems
Mesa Plumbing Company technicians can assess your pool plumbing and perform repairs safely and efficiently.
