Tips and advice

La toile solaire ne chauffe pas, elle sert d'isolant. Le 3/4 de la perte de chaleur est causée par l'évaporation surtout durant la nuit lorsque l'écart de température est plus élevée et le fait de mettre une toile solaire la nuit, peut prévenir jusqu'au 3/4 de l'évaporation de l'eau.Les toiles Trévi font 11 millième d'épaisseur. Elles sont Garanties 6 ans au prorata sur les soudures. Lorsque vous venez en magasin pour vous procurer une toile, il est important de connaître les dimensions de votre piscine afin d'acheter la toile qui se rapprochera le plus du bon format.Lors de l'utilisation de votre toile, il est faut mettre les bulles du côté de l'eau.Roulez et déroulez chaque jour idéalement afin de vérifier l'eau de la piscine (laisser respirer l'eau) à l'aide d'ensemble de rouleau.

An ozonator produces ozone, which is drawn into the pool through the pipes. Ozone is a powerful sanitizer that will oxidize contaminants in the water. When you purchase an ozonator with your pool, you'll receive a plumbing kit that will be attached to your plumbing during pool installation. The installers will also connect a green tube that will be connected to an ozone-producing box. To ensure the system is safe and effective, it's your responsibility to secure this box and the green tube attached to it above the pool's water level. Ideally, the tube should be replaced every year. Make sure the small arrow on the tube points toward the pipes and not the box. To ensure the water is properly disinfected, an ozone system owner must also add a small amount of chlorine. To facilitate this addition, Trévi strongly recommends the use of a chlorinator or chlorine dispenser. These devices, which can be easily installed by the customer at a later date, allow for a constant distribution of chlorine throughout the pool using tablets inserted into a designated container. When using a chlorinator, it is recommended to add a maximum of one or two chlorine tablets at a time and to set the flow rate to a high setting to avoid premature wear of the device. It is also essential to never use granular chlorine in this type of equipment, as this could cause a dangerous reaction.

If you use a salt system to sanitize your pool, the water must be at about 65 F° for the cell to produce chlorine. At the beginning of the season, especially, when the pool water is still cold, ensure you always have chlorine in stock, including chlorinating granules to keep your water clean and sanitized.  When the water is warm enough, you can start your salt system and the chlorine production. To produce the right amount of chlorine, you need to add the right amount of salt to the pool.  So, what should you do at the beginning of the season? First, you need to know the amount of residual salt from the previous year. To do so, use a sterile container to bring a water sample to the store for testing. Knowing the volume of water or your pool size will help determine how many bags of salt you need.  To ensure optimal operation, it’s best to start the season with a clean cell. We recommend that you clean it at the end of the previous season. If you haven’t done so, you can do it with a cell cleaning stand and liquid cleaner.  When you are ready to produce chlorine, add your salt bags. It is very important to turn off your system and ensure it’s not on when you add the products to the pool. Before turning the salt system back on after adding the salt, you should wait at least 12 hours.  It will take an additional 12 hours before you can get an accurate reading of the amount of salt in the pool. At that point, the production will have started, and you’ll need to regularly monitor your chlorine level with a drop test or test strips as the production will need to be adjusted.  The small switch on the front of your salt system’s box works like a timer. For example, if you set it to 50%, the system will produce chlorine 50% of the time it’s running. So, if the chlorine level is too high, you’ll decrease the percentage of production a little bit, if it’s too low, you’ll increase it a bit to find the right recipe for an ideal level of chlorine during the whole season. 

To simplify the maintenance of your pool, Trevi recommends two kits that work similarly. Depending on the store, our advisors may offer the Maintenance Kit 2.0 or the Smart Pak kit.  To determine the amount of product you’ll need, it’s essential that you know the volume of water in your pool.  Let’s start with chlorine. In the Maintenance Kit 2.0, you’ll find chlorine tablets in a small container. You can pierce the bottom of the container or unscrew the lid and place the container in the skimmer basket.  The Smart Pak kit contains individual chlorine sticks that you’ll place in the skimmer basket.  Both kits include shock treatment packets. Depending on the size of your pool, add one or two to the pool weekly.  Both kits also include algaecide to prevent the formation of algae.  With these kits, you’ll have everything you need to keep your water safe and sanitized all summer.  However, don’t forget to test your water with strips or drops once or twice a week to check if the chlorine and pH levels are good.  If the chlorine level is too high, reduce the chlorine intake, and if it’s too low, increase it.  The pH level will increase naturally throughout the summer. You’ll need to lower it regularly using pH-, which is normal.  If the pH level is too low, bring a sample of water to your nearest store to get advice on how to adjust your pool water parameters to ensure it’s safe to swim. 

It’s essential to test your pool water with strips or drops once or twice a week throughout the summer. Today, we’ll do it together so you can understand the procedure. At the beginning of the season, always replace your bottles or test strips. A fresh start ensures that your tools are in good condition and reliable.  Drop tests indicate our two basic data; pH and chlorine. With the test strips, you can read more parameters, including the pH and chlorine levels. If you’re using a drop test, start by rinsing the small container and filling it. Don’t take the water right at the surface. Put your arm a few centimeters into the water to ensure the most accurate results possible. Adjust the water level to the small measuring bars. Add four drops of each product; red on the pH side and yellow on the chlorine side. Put back the plugs, mix, and compare the color of the water with the test scale. If the pH level is too high, you can lower it with pH-. If the pH level is too low, visit the store for advice on how to adjust your pool parameters. Now, let’s talk about chlorine. If the level is too low, you’ll increase the production of the salt system or add more chlorine to the pool. If the level is too high, you can take a break from adding chlorine for a few hours, even a day, or gradually decrease the chlorine intake. If you have a salt system, position the switch to reduce the chlorine production. If you are using test strips, dip a strip in the water and remove it. Wait 15 seconds and compare the results with the scales on the container. The pH and chlorine levels are easy to adjust. However, if the other parameters are incorrect, bring a water sample for testing at the store to get advice on how to keep your water clean, safe, and pleasant for swimming.

Il est très important d'avoir une eau de piscine bien balancée tout au long de l'été. Le premier balancement d'eau est le plus important afin de bien commencer la saison, mais par la suite, nous vous recommandons de vous rendre en magasin environs une fois par mois avec un échantillon d'eau. En plus de vous permettre d'avoir une eau saine, agréable à la baignade et sécuritaire, bien balancer votre eau vous permettre de prolonger la durée de vie de vos équipements. En procédant à une analyse complète de votre eau en magasin, vous recevrez les instructions complètes pour savoir comment ajuster les paramètres importants et quelle quantité de produits mettre exactement.

Throughout the summer, it is your responsibility to test your water once a week with the help of strips or droplets. These tests will help keep your water clean, safe and enjoyable to swim in.  It is also very important to visit the store with a water sample once a month to have your water tested at the test counter for a complete analysis and to balance it properly. You will need to take a water sample that has been collected from your pool in a sterile bottle no more than 2 to 3 hours before the test.  To analyze the water, we will need to know the volume of water in your pool or the size of the pool and your sanitation system, either salt or chlorine. We will then be able to give you the appropriate recipe to make the water safe for the pool, the equipment and the swimmers. This will yield important information, starting with your chlorine level. This should be kept between 1 and 3 ppm, or 1 if you have an ozonator. If you are having trouble keeping your chlorine level stable, it may be due to the pH, which should be between 7.4 and 7.6. A pH that is too high or too low will affect the chlorine. For example, the chlorine may evaporate too quickly if the pH is too low, or it may not work at its full capacity if the pH is too high. Be aware that the pH of your eyes is 7.5, which is one of the reasons why the pH of your water should be between 7.4 and 7.6. This will prevent your eyes from hurting upon contact with the water. If you are having trouble with your pH, it may be because the alkalinity is out of balance. At the water analysis counter, our advisors can help you balance this parameter and inform you about the level of calcium in your pool. This is another important aspect of preserving your equipment for as long as possible, since it has an impact on corrosion, among other things. Follow the steps of the recommended recipe, since you have waiting times between each addition and must respect a specific order when adding products to your pool. You should also refer to the labels on the products, as each product can be added to the water in a different way, either diluted or directly in the pool. Your water will then be clean and pleasant to swim in.
