North Georgia gives pool owners a beautiful wooded landscape—and a significant amount of pollen, leaves and storm debris. The easiest debris to remove is the debris that never reaches the filter.
Use the skimming system effectively
Maintain the proper water level, keep baskets clear and make sure circulation directs floating debris toward the skimmer. During heavy pollen or leaf periods, baskets may need attention much more frequently.
Remove debris before it sinks
Surface skimming and timely cleaning reduce the amount of organic material that reaches the floor, filter and sanitizer system.
Watch the filter during pollen season
Fine yellow pollen can load cartridge media quickly. Track pressure against the filter's clean baseline rather than relying only on a calendar.
Consider the landscape during pool design
Tree placement, prevailing wind, deck drainage and equipment access all affect future maintenance. These are useful conversations to have before a new pool is installed.
