TROUBLESHOOTING COMMON ISSUES WITH YOUR POOL & OUTDOOR FEATURES

At Duplessis Builders, we strive to create high-quality outdoor spaces that function beautifully. However, like any outdoor feature, pools and living spaces may occasionally require troubleshooting. Below are some common issues and solutions to keep your space in top shape.

POOL TROUBLESHOOTING

  • Possible Causes: Poor filtration, unbalanced chemicals, or debris buildup.

  • Solution: Check and clean the filter, test and adjust chlorine and pH levels, and remove any debris.

2. Pool Pump Not Working

  • Possible Causes: Power supply issues, clogged pump basket, or air leaks.

  • Solution: Ensure the pump is plugged in, clear out debris from the pump basket, and check for leaks in the suction lines.

3. Algae Growth in Pool
