Ongoing service usually runs on a weekly schedule. A pool that's turned green might take more than one visit to clear up, depending on how bad the water is, whether the filter can keep up, and whether the pump is even working.
- Weekly water testing and precise chemical balancing for safe swimming

Questions people ask about weekly pool maintenance
How long after your chemical application can my kids and pets swim?
For most standard chemical adjustments, you only need to wait about one hour before swimming. If the technician has to apply a heavy shock treatment or specific algaecides, they will instruct you to wait longer, sometimes up to twenty-four hours.
What happens to my pool chemical balance and service day if it storms?
Heavy rain and storms dilute your pool chemicals and wash in organic debris. Your service technician will still visit on your scheduled day, or immediately after the storm passes, to test the water and apply extra sanitizer and shock to prevent green algae.
Do you balance pool water to protect my plaster from our hard water?
Yes, local technicians use water balancing methods like the Langelier Saturation Index. This takes into account our hard South Texas water, water temperature, and calcium levels to ensure the water does not scale your plaster or corrode your equipment.
Are specialty chemicals like algaecides and phosphate removers included?
Basic sanitizer and pH adjusters are included in standard flat rates. Specialty treatments, such as phosphate removers, black algae treatments, and seasonal clarifiers, may require an extra charge depending on the condition of your pool.
Does a basic pool service fix a loud screeching pump?
No, a screeching noise usually means your pump motor bearings are failing. Basic pool maintenance only covers water chemistry and basket clearing, so you will need to schedule a separate equipment repair technician to fix or replace the pump.
