Wobble Wedges for Swimming Pool Maintenance & Repairs

The cost of maintenance and repairs on an inground swimming pool can deter many people from wanting to own and maintain them, but there is nothing quite as luxurious as getting to enjoy a refreshing swim in your own backyard. If you are building or facilitating major repairs on a sophisticated inground pool, you might want to grab a pack of Wobble Wedges before your project begins. Not only are these handy plastic shims useful for interior plumbing projects, but they can also be used to level and secure crucial components of an inground pool. Components that will most likely be sealed into concrete and need to endure for many years.

Level Your Pool Pumps with Hard Plastic Shims

Inground pools require a complicated system of pumps to keep the pool running and safe. These pumps might be built into a pool house or directly into the concrete surrounding the pool. It is extremely important that these pumps sit evenly to allow for the proper flow of water and debris through the filters and into and out of the pool. Wherever your pool pumps are sitting, ensure that they are sitting evenly by leveling them with Wobble Wedge plastic shims. This is important for residential inground pools and even more important for larger commercial pools operating larger equipment.

Silence Rattling Pipes with Flexible Plastic Shims

Once you have exposed the plumbing for an inground pool for maintenance or repairs you will see a complicated maze of pipes going to and from the swimming pool. Pipes that sit too closely together can vibrate and rattle as they knock into each other. The sound of rattling pipes can easily disturb your peaceful, relaxing poolside hours. Use a flexible plastic shim, such as the standard Wobble Wedge, to create a gentle separation between the pipes. You can also use flexible plastic shims to elevate a pipe off a concrete surface or metal barrier.

Wobble Wedges for an Enduring Solution

Absolutely no plumber would approach a pool maintenance project with wooden shims. Plastic shims, such as Wobble Wedges, can withstand being in a moist environment without rotting, swelling, or crumbling. These hardy plastic shims can tolerate heat and cold as well as consistent exposure to moisture, making them an ideal solution for any exterior plumbing maintenance or repairs. Standard Wobble Wedge shims can support up to 2,000 pounds of weight as well, making them useful for supporting any large water pipes feeding water into your pool or carrying water to your pool filters.
