Pool information
Everything we have written, grouped by what it is about.
Glossary
Pool terms, in plain English
An A-to-Z of pool and spa terminology — construction, interiors, fittings, plumbing.
Finishes
What colour will your pool water be?
Water has no colour of its own. What you see is the interior through six feet of it.
Water
Why is my pool water cloudy?
Four common causes and four different fixes — and how to tell which one you have.
Water
Saltwater vs chlorine pools
Saltwater pools are still chlorine pools. What differs is cost, feel and what breaks.
Water
Pool water temperature: the comfort and cost sweet spot
Every degree of heat costs money and changes the chemistry.
Equipment
How often should a pool service check your equipment?
Most of what a pool service protects you from is on the pad, not in the water.
Equipment
5 signs your pool equipment is costing you too much
The quiet signals that a pump or heater is on its way out.
Equipment
Suction-side vs robotic pool cleaners
What each one actually does, and which pools they suit.
Service
Pool cleaning vs pool management
Cleaning is what you see. Management is what decides your repair bills.
Service
Signs your pool service is failing you
Missed weeks, a full basket, a filter nobody has opened.
Buying
Buying a home with a pool? Check these seven things
The pool is rarely in the home inspection — and deferred maintenance transfers with the deed.

Came home from a two-week vacation and our pool was basically green. The previous company told us we needed to drain it, which sounded crazy. Pool Care LA came out, tested everything, explained what was happening and started the cleanup. Took a little time but now the water looks better than it has in years.Read in fullCollapse

We had another pool company for almost five years and slowly the service got worse. They would say they came but the pool was always dirty. Jake from Pool Care LA has been completely different. He actually checks the equipment and lets us know if something needs attention.Read in fullCollapse

Our pump stopped working on a Friday afternoon and we were worried because we had family coming over that weekend. Robert came out, found the problem and got everything running again. Honest guy, and he explained everything before doing the repair.Read in fullCollapse

I don't usually leave reviews but these guys deserve it. My pool was a mess and I was tired of trying to fix the chemicals myself. They came out and took care of everything. Water is clear now and I don't have to worry anymore.Read in fullCollapse

Bought a house in Beverly Hills with an older pool and honestly had no idea how to maintain it. The equipment was old and everything was confusing. They walked me through what needed to be done first and what could wait. No pressure. That was appreciated.Read in fullCollapse

We thought we needed a completely new pool system. Turns out it was just a few issues with the pump and filter. They saved us a lot of money by fixing what actually needed fixing.

We have two kids and keeping the pool safe is important for us. Since switching to Pool Care LA the water has been consistently clean and balanced. It is nice knowing someone is actually paying attention every week.Read in fullCollapse
Questions people ask before they call
Where do I start if I do not know what my pool needs?
Describe it on the quote form — size, condition, what the equipment is doing — and we will say what it needs rather than sell you the biggest job. If the water has gone, that is a green-to-clean recovery; if the surface is spent, it is resurfacing.
Do you publish what a visit includes?
Yes, in full, on the weekly service page. The list does not get shortened in winter.
What does pool service cost in Los Angeles?
From $159 a month, and most customers pay $179–$249 with chemicals included. The whole price list is published: see what pool service costs.
