Before Heavy Rain When Conditions Are Safe
Secure ordinary loose patio items, confirm gates and safety barriers close, and keep the equipment area accessible without entering unsafe weather. Do not drain a pool, open electrical controls, or change pressurized equipment based on a storm forecast. Follow local emergency guidance when weather authorities advise protective action.
After Rain, Check From a Safe Position
Wait until lightning, flooding, and other hazards have passed. Look for storm debris, water above or below the normal range, cloudy or green water, missing return flow, new leakage, unusual pump sound, controller alerts, or visibly wet electrical equipment. Keep clear of downed wires, standing water near controls, and damaged enclosures.
Separate Cleanup From Equipment Trouble
Leaves and ordinary debris may point to a cleaning need, while green or cloudy water can require green-pool cleanup. Loss of flow, repeated shutdown, leakage, heat, or control errors may require pool equipment repair. Do not mix treatments or open equipment to decide between them.
Record Useful Palm Beach County Details
Note the city, time of the weather event, water appearance, visible debris, whether the pump appears to run, and any safe-to-read alert. Add local details for Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, or Lake Worth Beach when requesting service.
