Quick answer: Send the service company photos of the equipment, labels, the problem, error messages, and pH, disinfection, and alkalinity values. Add when the problem started and what you’ve already tried.
Well-prepared materials speed up the service company’s first response. Instead of a general description like “the pool doesn’t work,” the service team will see the equipment, the water, the values, and the likely direction of the problem.
What photos to send
Photos should be sharp, taken from a sufficient distance as well as up close. Don’t photograph just one part — capture the whole context of the equipment.
- the entire technical room or shaft
- pump, filter, valves, and dosing
- equipment label
- error message
- water, stains, or cloudiness
What values to add
For the water, send the current measurements and ideally also information on which tester you used.
- pH
- free chlorine or the disinfection method used
- alkalinity
- water temperature
- when the water was last treated
What to write in the message
The service team needs a timeline and what has already happened. This helps distinguish a fault in the equipment, the water, or handling.
- when the problem started
- what changed before the problem
- what you’ve already tried
- how often the problem recurs
