Learn how to operate a multiport valve and understand the purpose of each setting—filtering, backwashing, rinsing, draining, and more. This video also explains key safety tips to prevent gasket damage and ensure smooth system operation

Learn the parts and operation of a pool pump, including the motor, impeller, and skimmer basket. Understand the importance of keeping the basket in place to prevent clogs and filtration issues. Learn safety steps for cleaning and how to match motor specs when replacing. Troubleshoot starting issues by testing the capacitor.

Learn how to monitor and adjust salt levels and chlorine output using a salt generator. Check flow direction and clean cells when needed by soaking in a diluted muriatic acid solution. Maintain proper salt levels by adding salt evenly and brushing the pool bottom. For cold weather, switch to chlorine and unplug the generator to protect the cells.

Learn the proper steps to reactivate a pool system after winter. Reinstall the pump and filter plugs, pressure gauge, and sight glass. Open all valves, fill the pump with water, and prime the system using the “Waste” setting. Then backwash, rinse, and switch to “Filter”—always turning off the pump between setting changes.

This video introduces the Taylor test kit and its color-coded reagents: yellow for chlorine and pH, blue for calcium hardness, and green for total alkalinity. It shows how to collect water samples by submerging the bottle 18 inches and filling to marked lines. Instructions for each test are included inside the kit lid

Learn how to test total alkalinity using pool test reagents. Fill to 25 ml, add R7 and R8, then add the final reagent drop by drop until green turns red. Multiply the number of drops by 10 to get ppm. Ideal range: 80–100 ppm.

Learn how to test chlorine using a color-based reagent kit. This video walks through each step—filling the tube, adding drops, mixing properly, and reading results—while also explaining how often to test and what levels to look for.

Learn how to check pH levels using a simple drop test. This video demonstrates the correct technique for adding reagents, mixing, and interpreting results to help maintain water balance and swimmer comfort.

Learn how to lock out electrical breakers, switches, and extension cords during maintenance using tags, padlocks, and lockout devices to ensure safe electrical isolation.

Learn how to safely lock out plumbing systems using padlocks and tags to prevent accidental activation of water or steam. Understand procedures for ball valves and gate valves.
