Keep Ants and Cockroaches Out of Your Pool Equipment!

Did you know that tiny pests like ants and cockroaches can cause big problems for your swimming pool equipment? These insects are attracted to warm, sheltered spaces—making your heat pumps, control boxes, and electrical components the perfect hiding spot.

Unfortunately, when they get inside, they can damage sensitive electronics, especially PCB (Printed Circuit Boards). This can lead to costly repairs or even complete equipment failure.

Why does this happen?

• Ants and cockroaches often nest inside electrical enclosures.
• Their bodies and waste can short-circuit components.
• Moisture and debris from infestations accelerate corrosion.

How to prevent it:
✅ Regularly inspect your pool equipment for signs of pests.
✅ Keep the area clean and free of food or organic debris.
✅ Use insect barriers or treatments around equipment (safe for outdoor use).
✅ Seal any gaps or openings in electrical boxes and heat pumps.

Protect your investment and avoid unnecessary breakdowns—a few simple steps now can save you hundreds later!
