Filter Cleaning
If you have a DE or Cartridge Filter we will clean and inspect your filter
every 6 months $90. Typically we clean your filter at the end of the
summer (August/September) and the again in the late winter early
spring(January-March).
Draining you pool and Scale Buildup
Pools in California need to be drained as a rule of thumb every 2-3 years.
California water is hard water and as we add chemicals over time certain
levels become elevated causing both chemical uses to increase and also
staining of the surface to become more prevalent. Salt water pools are
different, and these rules don’t apply. We will contact you once the pool
water needs to be drained to discuss the procedure. We prefer to drain
our pools between the months of November- February. Due to hard
water, pool tile in California will develop calcium and scale. We will use a
scale treatment product to remove excess build-up and/or to prevent
future scaling.
Dogs
If you have an aggressive dog or an animal that we feel won’t allow us to
enter the back yard safely, we ask that you keep the animal locked up on
your service day. This is a major liability for both us and we want to
avoid this at all cost. If you have an aggressive dog and your dog is left
out on your service day, we will not be able to service your pool that day.
We will do our best to come back after contacting you, but we ask that
this does not become a reoccurring issue.
Home Owner Responsibilities
If you do not have an auto fill system added to your pool and it has be
filled by a hose, it’s the clients responsibility to keep the water level at
the recommended level. In the event the pool is overflowing by a broken
auto fill system please shut the supply line off and notify us so that we
can replace or repair. If there is a leak at the equipment and flooding
occurs, please locate breaker to pump and shut off and notify us. If you
don’t know where these are located, please ask and we will be happy to
show you. We ask that you maintain the pool’s surrounding landscaping
and any potential hazards please keep from overhanging. This will keep
your pool from becoming damaged and the pool’s overall performance
up. If small pool toys or rocks are left at the bottom of the pool, this will
jam most cleaners and prevent them from working during the week, so
please remove these items after swimming.
