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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
