- Install handrails and ladders.
Weekly Full Service
- Test water chemistry (chlorine, PH, total alkalinity, TDS, and salt levels).
- Thoroughly vacuum pool floor.
- Skim leaves and debris from pool surface.
- Empty and clean skimmer and pump baskets.

Bi-weekly full service and chemical check options are also available.
Weekly Chemical Check
- Test water chemistry (chlorine, PH, total alkalinity, TDS, and salt levels).
- Add necessary balancing chemicals.
- Empty and clean skimmer and pump baskets.
- Backwash sand filter or clean cartridge filter as needed.
Ideal for owners who want help with balancing but handle debris themselves.
Motor Repair & Replacement
Whether your pool motor is leaking from a seal, making a loud screeching noise while running, or just hums and won't turn on at all, we can repair or replace it. We service all makes and models.
PVC Pipe & Valve Repair
Are your aging valve handles nearly impossible to open and close? Is there a PVC fitting that drips constantly? From easy plumbing fixes to complete system re-plumbing, we are here to get your pool running like new again.
Filtration & Sand Changes
If you are having issues with clarity and your water is chemically balanced, it could be time for a sand change. We also offer recycled glass filter media that filters much more effectively and more than doubles the time between media changes. We also install and upgrade sand and cartridge filters.
Heaters
We specialize in Raypak and Rheem digital pool heater sales, service, and replacement. If your pool heater isn't running correctly or at all, we can diagnose, repair, or replace key system components to get your pool warm and swim-ready.
Pool Closing
- Remove all drainage plugs from equipment.
- Blow lines out with compressed air to prevent freezing.
- Add pool-safe antifreeze to plumbing lines.
- Install winter plugs.
- Secure pool cover over pool.
* Antifreeze added will be charged additionally on a per-gallon basis.
Common Pool Care Questions
You should test your pool water 2–3 times per week during the swim season, and more frequently during periods of heavy pool usage or extreme summer heat.
For safe, balanced water, aim for the following targets:
- Free Chlorine: 1.0 – 3.0 ppm (parts per million)
- pH Balance: 7.2 – 7.8 (pH below 7.2 is acidic and can corrode equipment; pH above 7.8 is too alkaline, causing scaling and reducing chlorine effectiveness)
- Total Alkalinity: 80 – 120 ppm
Most salt chlorine generators operate most efficiently with a salt concentration between 2,700 and 3,400 ppm, with an ideal target of 3,200 ppm.
It is best practice to inspect the salt cell every 3 months. Clean the cell with a mild acid solution only if you see calcium scale buildup on the plates. Most pools only require 1–2 cleanings per year.
- Sand and DE Filters: Backwash the filter whenever the pressure gauge reads 8 to 10 psi higher than its clean startup pressure.
- Cartridge Filters: Remove and spray down the cartridge elements every 4 to 6 weeks, or when the pressure increases 8 to 10 psi.
Cloudy or green water is typically caused by low chlorine levels, poor water filtration, or the onset of algae growth. High pH levels (above 8.0) can also make chlorine ineffective, causing minerals to fall out of solution and cloud the water.
To correct this, test and balance the chemicals, shock the pool, run the filter continuously, and apply a quality algaecide if needed.
Accidents happen, and there's no need to panic. Ask swimmers to exit the water, test the free chlorine level, and add pool shock (chlorine) if the sanitizer level is low. Keep the filtration system running for several hours. Proper sanitization and balanced water chemistry will quickly neutralize the waste and make the pool safe to swim in again.
While DIY maintenance is a viable option for some homeowners, hiring a professional pool service offers significant advantages:
- Consistent Water Quality: Professional testing prevents dangerous chemical imbalances and algae outbreaks.
- Equipment Protection: Certified pool operators can spot early signs of motor, plumbing, or heater failures, saving you money on major replacements.
- Peace of Mind: We take care of the labor and scheduling so you can simply relax and enjoy your swimming season.
