Pool Heaters

The cold keeping you from enjoying your pool a bit longer this season? Use a heater and make your pool as versatile as you. A swimming pool heater just makes good sense nowadays. They have become cheaper, more energy efficient and they extend the comfort, and fun of your swimming pool season. For many people, as the weather cools off, a pool heater can even double your season and enable you to fully enjoy your pool investment. Before you dive in for your first swim this spring, make sure your pool heater is up and running with a preseason tuneup from Jansen. A seasonal tuneup will extend the life of your natural gas pool heater and help to minimize breakdowns. Jansen provides pool heater service, repair and replacement of pool heaters to the residential pool industry.

Our technicians are trained to address the special needs of the pool industry regarding such items as low temperature issues which cause sooting which lead to tube bundle failure, correct pool heater pump sizing to avoid erosion or scaling of the tubes, correct sizing of the vent system to avoid condensation issues which lead to premature failure of the venting system, interfacing the pool heater with filter systems, pool circulating pumps and much more.

Pool Filters

Regular cleaning of the filter is key to ensuring proper filtration and circulation throughout the whole pool. Ensuring proper filtration and circulation throughout the whole pool is critical to maintaining water clarity. Without regular maintenance of the filter and filter components, poor filtration will eventually require more chemicals and maintenance time. There are three typical kinds of filters that a pool may be operating under: sand filter, cartridge filter or a diatomaceous earth filter (D.E. filter). No matter what type of filter the system has, it is important to follow manufacturer's guidelines for chemical and physical cleaning of the filter media. Additionally, to ensure proper filtration, inspect the filter elements regularly to check there are no additional problems such as channeling in the sand bed of a sand filter or holes in the D.E. filter grids.

Pool Pumps

The swimming pool pump is the heart of the swimming pools circulation/filtration system. The correct swimming pool pump should be able to pump a volume of water that would equal the complete swimming pool capacity at a minimum of every 8 hours. It should be noted that the pool professionals at Jansen believe every 6 hours should be considered the minimum.

Each manufacturer’s pump performs differently and the stated horsepower of a swimming pool pump is not a good factor for determining the correct pump for your swimming pool. The important factor is the volume of water pumped in gallon per minute (GPM) against the friction loss of your pool plumbing system (head loss). A head loss of 40 to 50 feet is average for most residential swimming pool systems. We provided a quick performance curve chart or graph to see the GPM at various feet of head loss for each pump. Our expert staff will glad to help you select the right pump for your swimming pool needs.
