Frequently Asked Questions

What does regular pool maintenance include?

Regular pool maintenance typically includes skimming the water surface, brushing walls and steps, vacuuming debris, testing and balancing chemicals, checking filtration equipment, and ensuring proper water circulation. A maintenance visit also includes inspecting pumps, filters, heaters, and chlorinators to ensure everything is running efficiently. Routine care prevents algae buildup, maintains water clarity, and extends the life of your pool equipment.

How often should a pool be serviced?

Most pools benefit from weekly service to keep the water clean, balanced, and safe to swim in. Weekly visits allow technicians to catch issues early, such as chemical imbalances or equipment problems. Some homeowners with heavy pool usage or surrounding trees may require more frequent service, especially during peak swimming seasons.

Why is pool maintenance important?

Regular maintenance keeps the water safe, prevents algae growth, and protects expensive equipment from premature wear. Neglected pools can develop cloudy water, bacteria, clogged filters, and stains that are costly to remove. Maintaining a consistent cleaning schedule ensures your pool stays enjoyable, healthy, and ready to use at all times.

Can I maintain my pool myself?

While basic tasks like skimming or checking the water can be done by homeowners, professional maintenance ensures proper chemical balance, equipment inspection, and cleaning. DIY care often leads to missed signs of mechanical issues or incorrect chemical dosing, which can damage the pool or cause unsafe swimming conditions. Professional service provides peace of mind and keeps your pool in peak condition.

How long does a maintenance visit take?

A standard maintenance visit typically takes 20 to 45 minutes, depending on your pool’s size, condition, and the services included. Larger pools or those with heavy debris may take longer. Technicians work efficiently to clean, inspect, and balance the pool during each visit.
