Check Your Pool Skimmers After a Storm

There are several things you want to attend to when you’ve had a big storm:

  1. Skim leaves and debris that are floating in your pool.
  2. As we mentioned, clean out your skimmer baskets. Also, clean out your pump baskets.
  3. Check all of your electrical equipment.
  4. If all is okay, turn the power back on.
  5. Clean and backwash your pool.
  6. Check your water level. If it’s too high, remove some of the excess water.
  7. Vacuum and brush the walls and floor of your swimming pool.

  9. Run your filtration systems and circulate your pool.
