Gestion des cendres
Ce qui change après des cendres d’incendie
Utilisez les cartes pour distinguer les problèmes de qualité de l’air, l’ordre de nettoyage et les contrôles de l’eau de remplissage.
Nettoyage à faible poussière
Le nettoyage humide et le confinement empêchent les cendres de redevenir un problème en suspension dans l’air.
Charge du filtre
Les cendres et la suie peuvent surcharger le filtre, alors retestez et inspectez le système après le nettoyage.
Changement de contamination
Si des débris d’incendie, du ruissellement ou des dommages structurels sont entrés sur le site, passez à la reprise après inondation ou tempête.
Wildfire Smoke, Ash, and Air-Quality Recovery
Treat wildfire ash, smoke fallout, and post-fire refill water as contamination problems with respiratory and water-quality risk, not as ordinary dust on the pool.
Use this when
- Treat wildfire ash, smoke fallout, and post-fire refill water as contamination problems with respiratory and water-quality risk, not as ordinary dust on the pool.
You'll need
- FC
- pH
Stop and escalate if
- Do not dry-sweep ash or treat it like normal leaves or windblown dirt
- Do not assume refill water is unaffected if local utilities warned about source-water impacts
- Do not skip electrical inspection before restarting automated systems after a major smoke event
À FAIRE EN PREMIER
Prioritize personal safety and wet cleanup methods before treating the pool water or adding chemicals.

1
Start with personal and site safety
Your first problem may be air quality, not chemistry.
2
Keep ash from becoming airborne again
Dry cleanup methods can make the hazard worse.
3
Treat the pool and refill source as changed conditions
Smoke and ash events can affect both the pool and the water you plan to add.
4
Escalate when the event exceeded routine cleanup
Some conditions need a broader disaster-recovery plan.

Contamination Boundary
Classify the water source before you clean the pool. Debris cleanup is different from runoff, floodwater, and sewage response.
OWNER-SAFE
- ✓ Separate debris-only cleanup from contamination recovery and document what actually entered the pool.
- ✓ Keep people out until you know whether the event was runoff, floodwater, or sewage exposure.
- ✓ Capture photos, dates, and nearby-source clues before you start dosing or draining.
PRO-ONLY
- ★ Handle floodwater, sewage, or site-contamination cleanup that changes the reopening decision.
- ★ Coordinate water disposal, disinfection, and equipment inspection when the contamination reaches the pad or shell.
- ★ Use qualified help when the cleanup depends on code, public-health, or utility guidance.
STOP NOW
- ⚠ Sewage exposure, floodwater, or any contamination that reaches electrical gear or the equipment pad.
- ⚠ A runoff event that leaves the source uncertain or the water unsafe to evaluate casually.
- ⚠ Any contamination that could make the pool a public-health problem instead of a maintenance task.
