More signs to watch for in Walnut Creek
- Schedules need hand changes. A pump schedule that suits an ordinary week may not suit a run of 100°F days. Pentair's guide puts schedules on the control screen, and we can talk through setting them there.
- The heater does not come on. Two conditions in Pentair's guide have to be met: the pump running, and the set point above the water temperature. Check both on your controller, then tell us what the screen shows.
- A status badge puzzles you. Yellow and blue badges mark pump delays on an IntelliCenter screen. The guide names heat cool-down, valve rotation and priming. Note which badge shows and when, and describe it on the phone.
- You want a demonstration. We offer equipment demonstrations along with controller programming. Tell us which system you have or are considering, and we can go through what it does.
About the Area
Walnut Creek's heat waves and winter storms against a pool schedule
Heat waves lift Walnut Creek's normal summer highs in the 80s to 100°F days. Those are the weeks when chlorine is tested hardest.
A summer schedule also runs with almost no rain. Concord logs about 0.2 inch from June through September in NOAA's 1991-2020 normals.
Winter Pacific storms bring the rain, and winter pool care leans on debris and rising water. Storm debris collects in slope yards beneath Mount Diablo. So the winter schedule and the summer one are two separate settings worth discussing with us.
Thinking about a controller? Ask the office what one involves on (925) 309-4685.

Advanced Pool Care has been extremely responsive, both in person and online. They are providing pool maintenance services and installed a new pool control system and pool sweep. Their followup has been extensive and frequent. We would recommend them without reservation.
Advanced Pool is top notch. When my previous pool companies were very slow to respond when I had issues I found mike through a friend and thankful that he came out that day and repaired my issue. Further he recommended upgrades and perform shortly thereafter leaving a sparkling clean pool. Dry happy with Mike and his team at Advance Pool Care. Give them a call
