Caring for your pool is more than just adding maintenance products!

Some basic information to know about the circulation and filtration system and their roles in pool care.

Circulation System:

The circulation system is the pump. It moves water from the pool and sends it through the filter for removal of dust, dirt, and debris prior to sending it back to the pool.

NOTE: If your pump is not running, the water from your pool is not being properly circulated or filtered. Running the pump and circulating the water is the best way to help prevent problems. Most pools are engineered to circulate all the pool water within 8 hours on full speed. During the swim season, this should be done at least twice a day in the South and all day in the North.

Filtration System:

The filtration system removes any undissolved dirt and debris from the pool water, filters have different efficiencies and characteristics.

There are three types of filtration systems:

1. Sand Filters:

Dirt is removed from a sand filter by “backwashing” or reversing the water flow. The filter should be backwashed when the pressure increases 7-10 lbs. over normal operating pressure. (This is the pressure indicated on the pressure gauge when the filter is completely clean.) To increase filter efficiency, remove oils and grimy buildup from the sandn twice a season with Regal® Filter Renew.

2. Cartridge Filters:

Dirt needs to be removed from a cartridge filter when the pressure gauge indicates an increase of 7-10 lbs. over normal operation pressure. Remove the cartridge(s) from the filter and hose off all loose dirt and debris. Then soak the cartridge(s) in Regal® Filter Renew for at least 8 hours. This will remove all oils and greases embedded in the filter element. After soaking, remove the cartridge(s) and rinse thoroughly with fresh water. Peak filter efficiency is achieved if you allow the filter cartridge(s) to dry prior to reinstalling in the filter. To avoid any “down time” for the circulation or filtration systems, it is advisable to purchase a second set of cartridge elements so they may be interchanged on a regular basis with the first set.

3. Diatomaceous Earth (DE) Filters:

Like sand, the DE filter is cleaned by backwashing the filter when pressure increases 7-10 lbs. However, once the filter has been backwashed, new DE must be added to coat the grids in the filter. To do this, mix DE powder in a bucket of water until it has a milky consistency, then slowly pour it through the skimmer while the pump is running. Return the valve to the filter position after adding DE. At the beginning of each season, disassemble the filter completely and clean the grids with Regal® Filter Renew.

NOTE: At least once a year the entire DE filter should be disassembled, cleaned and inspected for tears in the grids. Consult your Regal® Dealer on how to “recharge” your filter.

When Cleaning DE & Cartridge filters, use Regal® Spray & Rinse Filter Cleaner for an easy spray-on and hose-off application. Great for midseason cleanings.

Using Regal® Natural Pool Enzyme on a regular basis will lengthen times between filter cleanings and the life of the filter media!

Other helpful cleaning aids

If you have a pool that’s near trees, we don’t need to tell you about leaf litter. Try a Leaf Vacuum, which is a large mesh bag on a plastic base with wheels that connects to a garden hose. Water pressure blows the leaves into the bag and prevents them from clogging your vacuum and plumbing.

Automatic pool cleaners are also a time and work saver. Many models eliminate up to 90% of manual cleaning. There are options for both in-ground pool and above-ground pool automatic cleaners to fit all pool care needs.

Keeping your pool healthy

Testing your pool at least once each week is important for maintaining adequate water balance and sanitizer levels as well as ensuring swimmer comfort.

Test your water chemistry weekly. Take a water sample from the deep end of the pool, about 18” below the surface, with the pump running for one hour before the test. Bring a water sample to your Regal® Dealer for full professional testing at least once a month.
Use a skimmer net to remove floating leaves and other debris as needed. (As you’re swimming or lounging poolside, notice if the water level is at the right height, about midway up the skimmer. If not, add water.)
Brush the tiles (sides) every one to two weeks to stop a ring of scale and/or grime from forming on the tile.
Check and empty the skimmer and pump baskets at least once a week.
Run your pool pump a minimum of sunrise to dusk daily. If pool problems persist, like cloudiness, running the pool longer will help with filtration and circulation. Bring problem water in for a computerized water analysis by your Regal® Dealer, unless pool water looks cloudy.
Check your filter pressure weekly. If it’s 10 PSI above the normal level, clean your filter. If pressure does not reset, chemically clean your filter media or replace it. Consult your dealer for options.
Check to make sure you have enough chlorine in either your automatic or floating chlorinator. Salt pools will need adjustments as seasons and temperatures change.
Add chemicals to adjust pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness or stabilizer as required.
Shock your pool once a week to remove contaminants and keep water clean and clear.
Add a maintenance dose of Regal® Algaecide 60.
Add a stain & scale preventative maintenance dose of Regal® Metal Out or No Phos Metal Magnet once a month. Use Regal® Metal Out Concentrate for salt water.
