Emergency
Questions and answers about emergency for Nashville pool owners.
What should I do if there's a fecal accident in the pool?
Close the pool immediately. Remove solids carefully, raise sanitizer levels according to contamination protocols, and keep the pool closed for the required contact time. Document everything.
My pool turned cloudy overnight — what should I do?
Close the pool or limit access while you diagnose. Test chemistry immediately, check filtration and circulation. Cloudy water can indicate unsafe conditions.
What should I do if my pool pump stops working?
Check the breaker and reset if tripped. Check for clogs in baskets and impeller. If the pump won't start or keeps tripping the breaker, don't keep trying — call a professional.
How do I handle a pool emergency after hours?
Most pool emergencies can wait until the next business day — close the pool and call your service provider in the morning. True emergencies like major leaks or electrical hazards may require after-hours service.
My pool is leaking — what should I do?
Note the water loss rate and where you see wetness. Don't drain the pool — that can cause structural damage. Contact your service provider for leak detection.
