On a yacht, the pool is a corner of relaxation and wellness, but like any system, it can meet some issues. One of these is when the overflow channel of the yacht pool fills up during the filtration phase. This malfunction can disrupt the regular drainage of water, affecting the circulation system's efficiency, and negatively affect water quality.

 

Why does the overflow channel of the yacht pool fill up?

Below, we analyze the most common causes and provide practical solutions, ensuring the system remains fully operational.

 

Clogged drain

The overflow channel drain may be blocked by dirt, hair, or small objects. The first step is to check and clean the drain strainer, which is usually protected by a grate. Once the blockage is removed, water should flow correctly, restoring the system's regular functionality.

 

Oversized electric pump

If the system is new and this problem occurs, check the sizing of the electric pump. It might be oversized, generating a water flow rate too high for the overflow channel's collection pipes. This can cause the channel to overfill and fail to drain water at the necessary speed. In such cases, the electric pump should be replaced with one better suited to the system's specifications.

 

Malfunctioning level sensors

In some systems, level sensors monitor the water height in the overflow channel. A malfunctioning sensor can cause the system to improperly regulate filling and drainage. Inspect the condition of these sensors and replace them if needed.

 

Overloaded filtration system

If the system is overloaded with debris or floating materials, such as leaves or other waste, the filtration system may not process them efficiently, leading to clogging of the channel. Regularly checking and maintaining the filters can help prevent this issue.
