Pool Cleaning
Our weekly pool cleaning service includes water chemistry testing, debris removal, tile brushing, and vacuuming to maintain optimal water balance and clarity. Technicians check chlorine, pH, alkalinity, and calcium hardness levels while ensuring equipment functionality. We use eco-friendly methods to protect swimmers and pool surfaces while guaranteeing satisfaction through our no-charge policy for unsatisfactory service.
Leak Detection
Specialized leak detection identifies water loss sources in plumbing, plaster, or pool shells. Our technicians address issues causing excessive water addition (over 2-3 inches weekly) using advanced diagnostic tools. Prompt repairs prevent structural damage and reduce water waste, maintaining pool integrity and operational efficiency for long-term cost savings.
Salt Systems
Salt chlorine generator installations convert salt to chlorine for consistent water sanitization without harsh chemical storage. This system produces softer water while maintaining hygiene standards. Our experts handle proper salinity levels (near 3,500 ppm) and system maintenance to ensure reliable operation and reduced manual chemical handling.
LED Lighting
Energy-efficient LED lighting installations enhance pool aesthetics with customizable color options. Our upgrades include white LED and color-changing systems that consume less power while improving visibility. Technicians ensure proper GFI protection for electrical safety and demonstrate control features for client convenience during installation.
Automation Systems
Smart automation enables remote pool management via smartphone or tablet. Features include temperature control, filtration scheduling, and lighting adjustments through dedicated apps. We integrate systems with existing equipment for seamless operation, allowing clients to monitor and adjust settings from any location with Wi-Fi connectivity.
