WATER LEVEL (again & again & again……….)

I know that I sound like a broken record but please keep an eye on the water level of your pool.  We a getting a lot of calls about issues that are directly related to the pool being low on water.  In some pools we are finding leaks that are being repaired but some the level is just too low.  The level should be keep half way up the skimmer or half way on the border tile at the top of the pool wall.  Normal evaporation for a pool here in SW Florida is 1.5″ a week so if you putting in more then that you might have a leak and we will need to do a leak test.  If you allow the water to get too low the pump will start to draw in air instead of water and could end up causing a lot of expensive damage.  So please keep an eye on the level and also remember that if you are adding water to shut off the hose when you are done.  We have seen water left running in pools for a week before someone realized that the water was running, not a pretty picture.
