FAQ’s

Why Should I Hire a Pool Service Company?

Hiring a professional pool service company helps protect your valuable investment by maintaining the pool or spa’s surface, ensuring equipment is working properly, and keeping the water chemistry balanced. This allows you to fully enjoy your pool without the hassle of chasing down chemicals, researching proper care, or trying to manage the maintenance yourself. Often, when pool issues arise, they’ve already escalated to the point where a professional is necessary to resolve the problem. Regular professional service helps prevent algae growth and equipment problems from the start.

What Should I Expect From My Pool and Spa Professional?

You can expect your pool and spa professional to guide you through understanding your equipment, highlight any safety concerns, and alert you to issues that could turn into costly repairs. True professionals ensure that you have clean, balanced water and quiet, efficiently running equipment. They also provide reliable support for any warranty concerns and are accessible by phone to address your questions during business hours. Additionally, you should always receive detailed estimates for any work and transparent invoices after service.

Isn’t It Easier to Just Take Care of the Pool Myself?

While you can certainly take care of your pool yourself, it requires regular and consistent attention. Maintaining proper chemical levels—such as chlorine, alkalinity, free chlorine, pH, and total dissolved solids (TDS)—is critical to ensuring a safe swimming environment. Pool professionals are trained to monitor these levels and detect any early signs of equipment malfunction or water imbalance, preventing small issues from becoming costly repairs. For many, having a professional ensures peace of mind and saves time.

How Often Should My Pool Water Be Tested?

Pool water should be tested at least once a week to ensure proper chemical balance and safety. Regular testing helps maintain the health of your pool water by adjusting chlorine, pH levels, and other important factors that keep your pool clean and safe for swimming. A professional service will test your water weekly to ensure it stays crystal clear and chemically balanced.

What Is Included in a Typical Pool Service Visit?

A typical pool service visit includes skimming debris from the surface, vacuuming the pool floor, brushing walls and tiles, cleaning the filter, and checking and balancing the water chemistry. The professional will also inspect the pool equipment (pumps, heaters, filters) to ensure everything is operating smoothly and address any necessary repairs or recommendations.

How Can I Prevent Algae Growth in My Pool?

Algae growth is typically caused by imbalanced water chemistry, poor circulation, or inconsistent maintenance. To prevent algae, it’s important to maintain proper chlorine levels, ensure adequate water flow through the filter, and brush pool surfaces regularly. A professional pool service ensures that all these factors are properly managed to keep your pool algae-free.

How Long Should I Run My Pool Pump Each Day?

The pool pump should typically run between 8-12 hours a day to ensure that the water is properly circulated and filtered. This helps keep the water clean and ensures that chemicals are distributed evenly. A professional can recommend the exact time based on your pool size, equipment, and local conditions.

How Can I Make My Pool More Energy-Efficient?

There are several ways to improve the energy efficiency of your pool, including installing a variable-speed pump, using a pool cover to reduce evaporation, and switching to LED lighting. Additionally, regular equipment maintenance ensures your pool operates at peak efficiency, which can lower energy costs over time.

Do You Have to Service the Pool Every Week?

Yes, weekly service is essential to maintaining a healthy and sparkling pool. Consistent care keeps water chemistry balanced and equipment functioning smoothly, helping prevent algae growth and potential damage to the pool’s surface or equipment. Regular visits ensure small issues are addressed before they become larger, more costly problems.

What Are the Benefits of Hiring a Professional Over DIY Pool Care?

A professional pool service not only saves you time but also ensures that your pool is cared for by experts who understand the intricacies of water chemistry and equipment maintenance. This leads to more accurate treatments, better equipment longevity, and fewer costly repairs. You also avoid the hassle of buying and storing chemicals, as well as the learning curve involved in proper pool care.

What If My Pool Is Already Green or Cloudy?

If your pool has turned green or cloudy, it indicates an imbalance in the water chemistry or a problem with circulation or filtration. It’s important to address this immediately. A professional service can assess the problem, balance the water chemistry, and get your pool back to a safe, clear condition as quickly as possible.
