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.
Solid covers trap moisture, causing mildew spots on the liner when removed. Ask if the pro cleans the cover before storage. Mesh covers allow water flow but collect more debris. Cleaning a mesh cover takes 15 minutes. If they skip this, dirt compresses into the holes, blocking drainage and forcing you to rinse it manually every spring.
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.
Never hire someone who only adds chlorine blindly. Pros use test strips or liquid reagents to measure free chlorine, pH, and alkalinity. pH should stay between 7.2 and 7.6. Alkalinity must hover around 80 to 120 ppm. If they skip testing, your pool will become acidic or corrosive, etching plaster and damaging metal ladders within 6 months.
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.
Debris in the pump basket restricts water flow and strains the motor. Skimmers must be emptied regularly to prevent overflow. If the pump basket is full, the pool circulates poorly. This leads to dead spots where dirt and bacteria settle easily on the pool walls.
Look for cracks, spalling, or rough spots on the pool surface. A good cleaner assesses structural integrity before scrubbing. If the plaster is gritty, they might recommend acid washing, which strips the top layer. This takes 2 to 3 hours and requires draining the pool to 3 inches below the skimmer line.
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.
A clean equipment room protects your investment. Dust on the pump motor causes overheating. Ensure the pro wipes down surfaces and checks for loose electrical connections. Clutter around the filter and pump makes future repairs harder and can hide early signs of leaks.
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.
