Avoid draining the pool if it can be helped. Sometimes draining your pool can cause irreversible damage to liners, cause pools to float out of the ground, damage to decking, and etc. If you think you need to drain your pool contact us for advise before draining.

Yes, you do need a permit to drain your pool. They are free and can be obtained on-line or by calling the pool drainage hotline # 480-350-8521. The permit is valid for 30 days from the date of pick up. for where can you drain it, you have several options; if you know where the sewer clean out is "on your property", you can drain the pool into it. If you do not know where the clean out(s) are located, you can usually drain your pool into the gutter on the street.

Answer: Yes. This is a separate inspection done by the plumbing inspector and needs to be requested on the pool permit.

NO. If you are currently using chlorine (or bromine in a spa) the Sigma III can be installed without making any changes to the water. The chlorine will slowly dissipate, and you will have a chlorine-free pool in no time. If you are using some type of alternative chemical, like Baquacil, you will need to put in certain chemicals that neutralize the Baquacil before putting the Sigma III in, much like converting back to chlorine. You should be able to find those chemicals at your local pool store.

During the dry season, definitely not. If we get enough rain at this time of year to overfill the pool you can rest assured it will not last and within a very short space of time the water will evaporate off again. During the wet season I only recommend you drain the pool if it is going to overflow to somewhere that you don't want the water to be (like your lounge room!) or if there are lots of leaves in the pool that need to be skimmed off. This could be a number of things.

Pool and community gate entry device policies vary from community to community. You will need to contact the Tri-City office by calling the TCPM office at 480-844-2224. I am planning to leave town for a few weeks. The last time I left town a pipe ruptured in my unit and flooded my home as well as my down stairs neighbor. No one contacted me to let me know. How can I avoid this in the future.

All public swimming pools or spas are required to have a permit to operate issued by the Environmental Management Department, Environmental Health Division. Private pools and spas are those which are intended for non-commercial use and are not used by more than three owner families and their guests. Private pools meeting this requirement do not require a permit to operate from our Department.

No. You only need to run some water out of the system to lower the water level in the feed and expansion tank, so that you can cap it off.

It depends where the soil stack or external drain pipe is situated. In most cases a horizontal one will run out between joists, or a trough in the concrete. If on a second or third floor it may only be necessary to run the waste pipe to the room below (vertical). The drain is 83mm deep by 112mm diameter at the top reducing to 90mm. To allow tiling the visible grid is 143 x 143 square, made of polished stainless steel. Three designer grids are available at extra cost.

Usually, there are 2 types. One is a drainage system only that is removed after 24 to 36 hours. Another drain, which is called auto transfusion, collects the blood drainage for a specific time frame, and then the blood is delivered back to you. The type of drain used depends on the preference of your doctor and the amount of drainage expected.

My sand filter is running at 2bar. Last summer it was 1.5. I have backed washed many times over the last couple of days.. any advice. Recheck the test, if the tablet stays white and the water is clear when the tablet has dissolved then the chlorine in the swimming pool has been used up, however if the tablet turns speckled pink but still dissolves clear then the high level of chlorine has bleached out the test.

A drain is a pipe, which conveys either foul water (sink / bath / toilet etc.) or surface water (rain) from one house only. The owner or occupier of a house is solely responsible for maintaining a drain, clearing blockages and repairing any faults. Even where the drain extends outside the boundary of the property (for example under the road or under a neighbour's garden) the owner or occupier of the house served by the drain is still responsible, right up to the main public sewer.

Be sure to unplug the brewer before draining. The hot water can be very hot so please exercise caution.

Although Free is persistent at controlling bacteria, it is important to remember that a spa is a small body of water. So, continual use means bathers will deposit large amounts of dirt, perspiration, body oils, deodorant, make-up and other contaminants into a relatively small volume of water. If your spa is used heavily (approximately two people, three times a week, a half hour at a time) we recommend that you change your water every 60 days.

Most ice machines need a gravity drain beneath the unit for drainage, if drain is higher or in another location you would need an ice maker model with a drain pump.

RenewAire is different from many other air-to-air heat exchangers because it is designed to transfer both heat and moisture from one air stream to the other. This very special feature eliminates condensation under almost all conditions. For example, in typical winter weather, the warm, relatively moist household air transfers most of its heat to the incoming air stream as it passes through RenewAire's core. It also transfers just enough of its moisture to the incoming air to avoid condensing.

No, however the rainwater must flow to the street or your property only. Rainwater shall not flow to your house, garage or to an adjoining property.

Since pool care is primarily about preventative maintenance, it requires diligence and consistency. It requires approximately 30 minutes per week without fail. We like to say that if you are the type of person who changes your own oil and filter on your automobile you are a good candidate to maintain and care for your own pool.
