Prices vary based on pool size, surface type, and equipment complexity. A small above-ground pool costs less than a large concrete gunite pool. Added features like spas, covers, or high-tech automation increase the hourly rate. Ask for a detailed quote listing each task. Avoid flat rates that ignore your specific structural needs.
Water levels drop due to evaporation and spillage. If the level falls below the skimmer opening, the pump loses prime. This causes dry running and potential damage. Ask how they manage this. They may top up with clean water or adjust the intake valve.
Pools with heavy tree shade struggle with algae because sunlight is blocked, preventing natural UV sanitization. Ask if the pro adds algaecide or only shock chlorine. Algaecide stops growth but does not kill existing blooms. Shocking requires 8 to 10 ppm of free chlorine. This process takes 24 hours to clear the water fully.
Green or black algae spots indicate a chemical imbalance. Ask about shock treatments and algaecides. Chlorine alone may not kill resistant algae strains. A good pro combines oxidation with phosphate removal to stop algae from returning within days of the cleaning session.
Clogged skimmers reduce circulation, allowing algae to grow in stagnant zones. Ask if the service includes clearing debris baskets and checking pump strainer baskets. A failing pump seal leaks water, creating a puddle near the motor. This repair takes 45 minutes. If ignored, it damages the motor windings permanently.
Inspect the tile line for white crusty deposits. This indicates high calcium hardness. Professionals use acidic treatments to dissolve these minerals. If ignored, the scale bonds permanently to the plaster. Removal becomes expensive and requires specialized tools to avoid damaging the pool surface.
Inspect your sand, cartridge, or DE filter before hiring. Sand filters lose grit over time, requiring resin backwashing. Cartridge systems need a high-pressure rinse every 2 weeks. If your filter pressure gauge reads 8 psi above clean baseline, the media is clogged. Ask the pro if they change filter sand or just clean elements.
Do not hire someone who rushes the vacuuming. Proper vacuuming takes 10 to 15 minutes per session. If they finish in 5 minutes, they are missing corners and step areas where dirt settles. Also, reject cleaners who do not check the pump seal. A small leak now becomes a $500 motor replacement soon.
Avoid vague promises. Demand a printed list of tasks completed each visit. This includes brush work, chemical adjustment, and filter cleaning. Having this document allows you to verify their work. It also helps you track consistency over time and spot missed steps.
Check if your pool level sits 3 to 6 inches below the top of the skimmer. Low water reduces skimmer efficiency, letting bugs and leaves bypass the system. High water overflows during rain, wasting treated chemicals. Ask if the service includes topping off water or if you must handle it separately to avoid overflows.
