Pool service questions & answers

Fill in the quote form or call us. We ask about the pool, the type of service you are looking for and your timeline, then come back with a number. There is no charge for the consultation, and the more detail you give about size, condition and equipment, the closer the first number will be to the final one.

Yes, and it is the most common way people start. The quote process asks about your pool and its current condition so we can recommend the right next step rather than the biggest one. If the water has gone green, the answer is usually a green-to-clean recovery; if the plaster is stained, it may be an acid wash; if something on the pad has stopped, it is a repair.

Yes. Check your own notice period first, and tell us on the form what went wrong — that usually says more about what your pool needs than the pool does. If it has drifted while you were deciding, we will say so before we start rather than after.

Four things, in order: search the California contractor licence at cslb.ca.gov; ask for the written visit checklist; ask exactly what the price includes, especially chemicals and filter cleans; and ask for a reference on your own street. More on reading pool service reviews.

Weekly pool service plus membership benefits. The weekly visit covers checking and adjusting water chemistry, removing debris, brushing surfaces, emptying baskets and inspecting equipment. Members also receive 20% off individual services and priority scheduling. The full checklist is published here.

Consistent weekly care, 20% off individual services and priority scheduling. Both matter most at the moment something breaks: on a single larger repair the 20% can be worth more than a month of service, and being already on a route is the difference between “this week” and “in two weeks”.

Weekly, all year. Los Angeles pools do not get a closed season, and summer chlorine demand is high enough that a fortnight is long enough for algae to establish. We typically service pools one to two times a week throughout the year. Heavy tree cover or heavy use pushes a pool toward two visits. The longer answer.

Yes — the same weekly maintenance plan works for both. A spa is a second body of water with its own chemistry and its own equipment, so it is part of what gets checked, not an afterthought.

Yes. We offer pre-party cleanings with 24 hours’ notice, so the pool is right on the day rather than on your regular route day.

Both, with one exception. Alongside weekly maintenance we offer select one-time specialty services: Green to Clean, Acid Wash, Equipment Repair and New Plaster Start-Up. We do not offer one-time routine pool cleanings — a single clean on a pool nobody is maintaining looks the same again within a fortnight.

Almost always, yes. Our Green to Clean service rehabilitates the water without draining the pool, and swimmers are usually back in within about two days. Draining is a last resort: an empty shell carries its own risks and the plaster does not enjoy drying out. How the process works.

Heaters, filters, pumps, salt generators, plumbing, electrical components, automation controls, pool lights and time clocks. We diagnose first, then repair before replacing wherever the part can still be saved. Dedicated pages cover pumps, heaters, filters, salt systems, lights and automation.

No. We maintain, recover, repair, resurface and remodel pools — the company holds California contractor licence #970493, classifications C-53 and C-61/D-35. If you are planning a build, this article covers the decisions that matter later, written from the maintenance side.

Weekly service starts at $159 a month for a pool up to 15,000 gallons, $179 for the 15,000–25,000 gallon range most Los Angeles gardens fall into, $219 up to 40,000 gallons and $249 above that. Most of our customers pay between $179 and $249. Standard chemicals are included, so there is no separate monthly chemical bill. The full price list covers add-ons, one-time work and repair rates.

Usually because one includes chemicals and filter cleans and the other does not. Volume, trees, a spa, salt versus chlorine, condition on day one and access account for the rest. There are five questions that settle it in about a minute.

Yes. We can set up an automatic payment plan so there is nothing to remember each month, and we accept all major credit cards. Ask when you get in touch.

For every friend you refer who calls us and mentions your name, you receive a $100 credit toward weekly maintenance or any other service, up to two credits — $200 in total. Details here.

Ask rather than assume. Weekly service runs as routes by day of the week rather than as a radius on a map, so whether a property works depends on which day it would fall on more than on the mileage.

Each area sits on a particular day of the week. Ask which day covers your neighborhood when you get in touch — it is worth knowing before you plan a weekend around it.

Monday to Friday, 6am–9pm. Saturday and Sunday, 8am–6pm. The long weekday window is deliberate: equipment problems tend to be noticed first thing in the morning or when someone gets home, and both of those fall outside a nine-to-five.
