  1. There is No Main Drain

Many in-ground swimming pools in Jefferson, Missouri are designed to draw in water from the main drain and the skimmer. In the past, it was more customary to cap off main drains as a quick fix, but such procedures are not adequate any longer. Some pools may also have a clogged main drain or may not even have one at all. Without a main drain, the pool will be working at half the capacity that it should be.

If your main drain is clogged or capped off, call us at Little Giant Pool & Spa to come in and fix the issue. If your swimming pool was built with no main drain, one of our pool technicians will be able to set up a system that will vacuum the pool in a way that replicates the main drain’s function.

  1. Your Equipment Isn’t Big Enough

Pumps and filters vary in size and power to meet the specific requirements of your particular pool. If your filter or pump is too small, the circulation will not be adequate and will put stress on all of the plumbing and equipment. If that’s the case, hire a technician in to install the right size filter and pump that are better suited for the size and type of pool that you have.

Little Giant Pool & Spa provides a variety of services for in-ground pools, such as opening, closing, and weekly maintenance. If you’re in need of any of our services, contact us today at (636) 271-2200.
