Routine Pool Maintenance
Routine basic maintenance needs to be carried out to ensure that your pool remains in top condition:
Remove debris (leaves, pool toys, stones, etc.) from the pool, as needed.
Clean skimmer baskets, as needed.
Clean pump pre-filter basket, as needed.
Regularly carry out the routine pool cleaning functions:
o Clean and brush the steps, walls and water line, as needed.
o Clean the bottom of the pool, as needed. An automatic pool cleaner is highly recommended.
Check your PoolCop display for any Alert, and promptly rectify.
If unusual circumstances have altered water balance and chemistry, it may be necessary to readjust the balance back to the
normal range. Remember that your PoolCop is a management system, not a repair system. Circumstances that could
rapidly change water balance include, but are not limited to:
o Very heavy bather load.
o Unusually hot weather.
o Heavy rains.
o Sand or dust storms.
o Thunderstorms.
This guide does not describe how to maintain all water treatment options available. Follow manufacturer’s instructions on the use
and replacement of consumables for the optional water treatment equipment installed with and controlled by your PoolCop.
PoolCop Maintenance
Basic maintenance needs to be carried out to ensure that your PoolCop successfully manages your pool.
Regular Periodic Checks
Check for Alerts: Alerts and notifications are PoolCop’s way of communicating with you about the state of the pool. Check
the Alerts regularly or at any time when in doubt about a condition.
Check and Replenish Consumables: Water treatment (control of pH and disinfection) requires consumables. Ensuring that
the level of consumables is sufficient for the maintenance of the pool is a basic owner maintenance task. Consumables
must be replenished timeously to ensure that optimal treatment and balance is maintained in your pool.
Check General Condition: Check the general condition of your PoolCop as well as the piping and accessories.
Annual Service
The PoolCop requires an annual service by a qualified pool professional to ensure optimal functioning. Refer to the PoolCop
Maintenance Card (2.4.2.3) for details and dates due. Essential service items are:
Check battery every 12 months. The battery should last for 3-5 years, and will be replaced if a malfunction occurs.
Check pH sensor calibration every 12 months. The sensor should last 3-5 years, and will be replaced if malfunction occurs.
Check for leaks. Lubricate wagon wheel gasket with pure silicon grease.
Check condition of the pool system.
Check water balance.
Replace the valve diffuser every two years.
