😎💦 FLOATIE FRIDAY! 🦩

Important question before we head into the weekend…

What’s your pool float of choice?

🦩 Giant flamingo
🍩 Donut
🦄 Unicorn
🛟 Classic tube
🏝️ Giant floating lounger
🍺 Something with a built-in drink holder, obviously 😂

Or are you the person who skips the float altogether and heads straight for the diving board?

👇 Drop your answer in the comments!

BONUS POINTS if you post a picture of the most ridiculous pool float you own. 😂

Whatever you’re floating on this weekend, we hope the water is clear, the drinks are cold, and you get a chance to enjoy your pool.

Have a great weekend from all of us at Sand Dollar Pools! ☀️🌴

⏰ TURN IT OFF THURSDAY? NOT SO FAST! 💦

Trying to save a little money on electricity by barely running your pool pump?

That can end up costing you more in the long run. 😬

Your pump doesn’t just move water around. While it’s running, it helps:

🔄 Circulate chemicals throughout the pool
🧹 Move dirt and debris toward the filter
🧪 Keep your water chemistry more consistent
🌿 Reduce areas where algae can get a foothold
💦 Keep your water filtered and moving

So, how long should you run it?

There isn’t one magic number for every pool. The right runtime depends on your pool size, pump type and speed, plumbing, weather, swimmer load, and water conditions.

And if you have a variable-speed pump, running it longer at a lower speed can often be more efficient than running it for a short period at full blast.

💡 The goal isn’t simply to run your pump LESS. It’s to run it SMARTER.

Not sure if your pump schedule is right for your pool? Give Sand Dollar Pools a call. We can help you get your system running the way it should.

👀 WHAT’S YOUR GAUGE SAYING WEDNESDAY? 💦

That little pressure gauge sitting on top of your pool filter isn’t just there for decoration! 😂

It can actually tell you a lot about what’s happening with your pool.

When your filter is freshly cleaned or backwashed, take note of the pressure reading. That’s your pool’s normal clean pressure.

📈 Pressure climbing higher than normal?
Your filter may be getting dirty and restricting water flow.

📉 Pressure unusually low?
You could have a clogged skimmer basket, low water level, pump problem, blockage, or another circulation issue.

⚠️ Gauge stuck at the same number, even when the pump is off?
There’s a good chance the gauge itself needs to be replaced.

A good rule of thumb is to clean or backwash your filter when the pressure rises about 8–10 PSI above its clean starting pressure.

Next time you walk past your pool equipment, take a look at that little gauge. Your pool might be trying to tell you something! 👀

Not sure what you’re looking at? Snap a picture and bring it by Sand Dollar Pools. We’re happy to help.

💦 TOO LOW TUESDAY! ☀️

Texas heat doesn’t just make you thirsty… your pool gets thirsty too! 😅

During hot weather, evaporation can drop your pool’s water level faster than you might expect.

So how low is too low?

👀 Take a look at your skimmer opening.

Ideally, your water should sit around halfway up the skimmer opening.

If it gets too low, your skimmer can start sucking air, which can cause:

💨 Air in the system
🔄 Poor circulation
⚠️ Loss of pump prime
🔥 A pump running dry
💰 An expensive repair that could have been avoided

And remember, if you’re constantly adding a LOT of water, don’t automatically blame evaporation. You could have a leak.

Take 10 seconds today and check your water level. Your pool pump will thank you! 😎

Need help figuring out where your water is going? Sand Dollar Pools offers professional leak detection.

Heavy rain can introduce dirt, debris, organic contaminants, and other unwanted stuff into your pool. It can also dilute your pool chemistry and lower your chlorine level.

That means your pool may look perfectly fine today while algae is getting ready to make an appearance. 👀🌿

After a good rain, we recommend:

🧺 Empty your skimmer and pump baskets
🍂 Remove leaves and debris
🔄 Make sure your pump and filter are running properly
🧪 Test and rebalance your water chemistry
⚡ Shock the pool when needed to restore proper sanitation

One important tip: Don’t just blindly dump shock into the pool. Test the water first so you know what your pool actually needs.

Not sure where your chemistry stands after all that rain?

💧 Bring a water sample to Sand Dollar Pools for FREE WATER TESTING!

We’ll test it, explain the results, and help you get exactly what you need to keep that water clear and ready for swimming. 😎

💦 MORE CHLORINE ISN’T ALWAYS THE ANSWER MONDAY! 🧪

Pool looking a little cloudy or starting to turn green?

A lot of pool owners immediately think:

“Just add more chlorine!” 😅

But chlorine isn’t always the problem.

Your pool could have:

🧪 A pH that’s too high
☀️ Too much stabilizer (CYA)
🔄 Poor circulation
🧹 A dirty filter
⏰ Not enough filtration time
🌿 The beginning stages of an algae problem

Dumping more chlorine into the pool without knowing why there’s a problem can waste chemicals and waste money.

That’s why we always say…

TEST FIRST. TREAT SECOND. 👍

Bring us a water sample and let Sand Dollar Pools help you figure out what your pool actually needs, not just sell you another bucket of chemicals.

☀️🌴 SLOW DOWN SUNDAY 🏊‍♂️

Sometimes the best thing you can do with your pool is… absolutely nothing.

No brushing.
No vacuuming.
No messing with equipment.

Grab a cold drink, put your feet in the water, turn on some music, and enjoy the backyard you work hard for. 😎

Pools are supposed to make memories, not just make another item on your to-do list.

So today, forget about the chores for a little while and enjoy your pool. 💦

We’ll worry about the pool stuff tomorrow. 😉

☀️ SATURDAY POOL CHECK! 🏊‍♂️🌴

Before you grab the floaties and jump in, give your pool a quick 60-second check:

👀 Can you clearly see the bottom?
💦 Is the water level where it should be?
🔄 Is water flowing from the returns?
🧺 Are the skimmer baskets clear?
👃 Does anything look, smell, or sound unusual?

Everything looks good?

Perfect. Quit messing with it and GO SWIMMING! 😂

And if something doesn’t look quite right, don’t spend your whole Saturday fighting with your pool.

Give Sand Dollar Pools a call and let us help get you back to enjoying it. 😎
