Pools
and spas are typically serviced during the week on the same day each week.
Mondays are reserved for doing repairs. Emergencies are handled on an as-needed
basis.
Every pool and spa is different. They differ in size, shape and in depth and by
the amount of time that they are exposed to the sun each day. They differ in how
they are used; everyday or just on weekends. Some people use a lot of suntan
oil; some use none. The quality of the external water source used to fill the
pools and spas differs greatly between locations. Any and all of these factors
make a difference on how a pool is serviced each week. The three most important
things that we do each week when servicing are: (1) make sure that the water
level in the pool and spa is adequate; (2) make sure that when we finish
vacuuming the pool/spa, they are clean; and (3) make sure that the chemistry of
the water is properly balanced. As part of the weekly servicing, we also empty
and clean skimmer baskets, empty pump baskets, backwash, clean and re-charge
filters, depending on the type of filter, adjust the return heads, test fire the
heater, if applicable, check for leaks by the pool/spa equipment, make sure the
equipment is running properly, treat for algae and/or phosphates, if present,
etc. etc.
We take great pride in what we do when we service your pool/spa. We write down
what we do each week, what chemicals we use, and in what quantities, and we
identify if there are any problems that need further attention. By doing this,
we can identify patterns and make changes or recommendations to you on how we
can improve your pool or spa's performance.
By having the same person service your pool/spa each week, we get to know what
your pool/spa's service requirements are. Conversely, if you are at home when
the weekly service is performed, you can discuss any concerns that you may have
with a knowledgeable technician. You can also call the office at any time and
get your questions answered.
