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.
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.
Many cleaners check underwater lights and return jets. Faulty transforme rs buzz, indicating a short circuit. Return jets should push water horizontally, not stir up settled silt. If jets are misaligned, they disturb the pool floor, causing clouds of dirt. Realignment takes 20 minutes and saves you from constant vacuuming.
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.
In hot, humid areas, weekly service prevents green water. Colder regions often need cleaning only every 2 weeks or monthly. Dust, pollen, and tree debris load the system faster. If your pool is under oak or cedar trees, expect heavier leaf loading. Ask the pro to note your specific seasonal peaks for scheduling adjustments.
Watch how they clean the floor. A professional uses the vacuum head in short, deliberate passes. They avoid rushing. They also use a squeegee to secure the hose to the floor. This technique prevents the vacuum from losing suction and leaving dirty water behind.
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.
Ask how often they backwash the filter. Doing it too frequently wastes clean water. Doing it too rarely clogs the sand or DE cartridges. Ensure they have a proper waste container or connection point to handle the dirty water safely during the backwash interval.
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.
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.
