Frequently Asked Questions

We recommend weekly pool maintenance for most residential pools. This includes skimming, brushing, vacuuming, and equipment checks. For commercial pools or pools in heavy use, more frequent service may be needed.

Weekly maintenance includes skimming debris from the surface, brushing pool walls and floor, vacuuming the bottom, checking filter pressure, verifying equipment operation, and ensuring proper water level.

Weekly maintenance starts at $89/week, but pricing varies based on pool size, condition, and location. We provide free quotes and transparent pricing with no hidden fees.

While basic maintenance is possible, professional maintenance saves time and ensures your pool is properly balanced and maintained. Many pool owners find it's worth the cost to have experts handle it.

Proper chemical balance protects swimmers from harmful bacteria, prevents corrosion of equipment, maintains water clarity, and ensures comfortable swimming conditions. Unbalanced water can cause health issues and expensive equipment damage.

We recommend testing water chemistry at least weekly for properly maintained pools. More frequent testing may be needed during heavy use periods or after storms. We provide detailed reports with every test.

pH measures how acidic or alkaline the water is (scale 0-14, 7 is neutral). Pool pH should be 7.2-7.6. Improper pH affects chlorine effectiveness, causes eye irritation, and can damage equipment.

Chlorine levels should be 1.0-3.0 ppm (parts per million) for safety. The exact amount depends on pool size, usage, and weather. We calculate and maintain the proper levels for your specific pool.

Most pool pumps last 8-15 years with proper maintenance. Regular servicing extends equipment life significantly. We can help determine if repair or replacement is the best option.

Contact us immediately. We use professional leak detection equipment to locate leaks and repair them promptly. Small leaks can waste thousands of gallons and damage surrounding structures if ignored.

Common signs include reduced water flow, cloudy water, or higher than normal filter pressure readings. We monitor filter pressure during every service and recommend cleaning or replacement as needed.

Yes! We service and repair all types of pool heaters including gas, electric, and heat pump systems. Regular maintenance can prevent costly breakdowns during cold months.

The best time is when ground temperature reaches 60°F consistently. We handle complete pool opening including cover removal, equipment startup, water testing, and chemical balancing.

Proper closing protects equipment from damage, prevents algae growth, and makes spring opening easier. We winterize pipes, drain equipment, apply algaecide, and secure your pool for winter.

Winterization prepares your pool for freezing temperatures. This includes chemical treatment to prevent algae and staining, equipment draining to prevent freeze damage, and proper cover installation.

Monthly visits maintain water chemistry, prevent algae growth, and ensure equipment is protected. We can adjust this schedule based on your pool's needs and local climate.

Green water is caused by algae growth, usually from insufficient chlorine. Recovery typically takes 3-7 days depending on severity. We use intensive shock treatment and circulation to speed recovery.

Common causes include improper pH, low chlorine, dirty filter, or poor circulation. We test and diagnose the specific issue, then implement the right solution for your situation.

Calcium deposits form from high water hardness. Stains can result from algae, metals, or organic matter. We offer specialized cleaning and treatment to remove both types of deposits.

Yes! We offer emergency services for serious issues like leaks, equipment failures, or water quality emergencies. Contact us at (337) 781-3846 for immediate assistance.
