Frequently Asked Questions
What does pool maintenance service include?
Standard weekly service includes: testing and balancing water chemistry, skimming surface debris, brushing walls and tile, vacuuming, emptying skimmer and pump baskets, checking equipment, and maintaining proper water level. Ask what chemicals are included in pricing.
How much does pool service cost?
Weekly pool maintenance runs $100-$250/month depending on pool size and service level. Green pool cleanup costs $300-$800. Equipment repairs vary: pump motors $200-$500, filter cleaning $100-$200, and heater repairs $200-$600.
How do I choose a pool service company?
Look for CPO (Certified Pool Operator) certification, insurance, and established reputation. Ask what's included in service, how chemicals are billed, and response time for problems. Check if they can service your pool type (chlorine, saltwater, etc.) and equipment brands.
How often should pool equipment be serviced?
Pool pumps need annual inspection, filters should be cleaned or replaced per manufacturer specs (usually every 1-2 years), and salt cells last 3-7 years. In Texas, pools run year-round, so equipment sees heavy use. Budget for eventual pump ($500-$1,500) and heater ($1,500-$4,000) replacement.
How do I fix a green pool?
Green pool recovery requires: testing and balancing pH (7.2-7.6), shocking with 3-4x normal chlorine dose, running the filter 24/7 until clear, brushing walls and floor daily, and backwashing or cleaning the filter frequently. Severe cases may need professional help or partial drain and refill. Prevention is cheaper than cure.
Should I close my pool for winter in Texas?
Most Texas pools don't need full winterization since temperatures rarely stay below freezing. Instead, reduce pump run time to 4-6 hours daily, maintain lower chemical levels, and run the pump during freezing nights to prevent pipe damage. Full closings only make sense in the Panhandle or for extended vacations.
