Essential Filter Maintenance
If you operate a sand filter, regular backwashing is a mandatory part of your routine to flush out trapped dirt and restore optimal water flow. A durable backwash hose is an indispensable tool for this process. It securely attaches to your filter’s waste port, allowing you to direct dirty, cloudy water safely down a drain or away from your pool deck. Designed to conveniently lay flat when not in use, these heavy-duty hoses are built to withstand high water pressure and UV exposure without splitting.
Streamlining Your Suction Setup
Vacuum adaptors and plates, such as the Certikin Kornea, act as a seamless bridge between your vacuum hose and the skimmer system. A quality adaptor plate ensures your hose creates a perfect seal over the skimmer, preventing the pump from drawing in air and losing vital suction power. Furthermore, vacuuming through the skimmer basket rather than directly into the suction line adds an extra layer of protection, stopping large debris from clogging your underground pipes.
Tackling the Waterline
The area where your pool water meets the air is notorious for collecting sunscreen, body oils, and environmental dirt, creating a stubborn “tide mark.” Specialised sponges, cleaning blocks, and rubber erasers are designed to be tough on this grime but gentle on delicate pool surfaces. These miscellaneous pool cleaning items often require only a slight moistening to safely erase dirt from liners, skimmer faceplates and plastic stairs without the need for harsh chemicals.
