Services
Pool Openings
Our technicians perform complete pool openings including water balancing, equipment checks, and debris removal. Standard service includes initial chlorine shock treatment. Customers must fill pools to operational levels before our arrival. We recommend water sample testing 2 days post-opening for optimal chemical balance.
Weekly Maintenance
Customizable plans include water testing, vacuuming, skimming, filter maintenance, and equipment inspections. Pool-only service at $75/hour, spa-only at $60/hour, and combo plans at $100/hour. All services billed monthly with net-30 terms and credit card requirements for overdue accounts.
In-Shop Repairs
We repair pumps, filters, pool cleaners, and salt cells at significantly lower costs than on-site service. Basic repairs start at $85 plus parts. Customers bring equipment to our facility for faster turnaround times and cost-effective solutions compared to field service calls.
Water Testing
Our on-site lab provides precise water analysis to maintain proper chemical balance. Homeowners receive recommendations for adjustments after testing. We emphasize preventive maintenance to avoid costly repairs from improper water chemistry.
Pool Closings
Professional winterization includes chemical treatments, plumbing line protection, and equipment winterization. Customers should lower water levels before service to minimize costs. We offer partial winterization options to reduce expenses when full service isn't required.
