How to choose pool service companies

  1. 1

    Ask what a visit includes

    Skimming, brushing, vacuuming, emptying baskets and testing the water should be standard. Filter cleaning is often extra.

  2. 2

    Ask whether chemicals are included

    Some monthly prices include chemicals and some don't. It can make a big difference in the real monthly cost.

  3. 3

    Ask for a service report

    Many companies leave a note or send a report after each visit with chemical readings and anything they noticed.

  4. 4

    Check repair licensing

    Pump, heater and electrical work may need a licensed tech in your area. Ask who handles repairs.

FAQ

Questions about pool service companies

How often should a pool be serviced?

Weekly during swimming season is common. Some owners switch to every other week when the pool isn't in use.

Can a green pool be saved without draining?

Usually, yes. It takes shock treatment, filtering and a few visits, depending on how far gone it is.

Is a saltwater pool cheaper to maintain?

Salt systems lower chlorine costs but still need testing, cell cleaning and eventual cell replacement.

Do I need to be home for pool service?

Usually not, as long as the tech can get through the gate and pets are inside.

Does it cost anything to use Job Hound?

No. Job Hound is free for homeowners, and pros never pay for leads, so there is no lead fee baked into the price you are quoted.
