Meet Larry — Your Local Pool Expert
When you call Dog Days Pools, you're not reaching a national franchise or a call center. You're reaching Larry — the owner, operator, and the person who shows up at your pool. For over 20 years, Larry has built a reputation in Clearwater and the surrounding communities for one thing: doing the job right, every single time. It's why Dog Days Pools has held the #1 ranking in Clearwater and Safety Harbor for 6 consecutive years.
Larry answers calls at 8pm when your pool is overflowing (yes, that actually happened). He returns four times to adjust a pool cleaner and only charges once. He replaces a pump motor on short notice and fixes a few other things he noticed while he was there — at no extra charge. That's not a policy — that's just how Larry does things.
Dog Days Pools is an owner-operated company that believes you deserve more than "good enough." Every pool is different, every customer is different, and we treat them that way. We don't lock you into contracts. We don't use a one-size-fits-all approach. We assess your pool, find the most efficient and cost-effective solution, and make sure you're completely satisfied before we leave.
Over two decades in Clearwater's heat, humidity, and subtropical weather have given us a level of local expertise that no chain or franchise can replicate. We know what Florida pools need — and when they need it.

Pool Repairs
When your pump stops running, your filter clogs, a pipe develops a leak, or your equipment underperforms, Dog Days Pools has the experience and tools to diagnose and fix it fast. We service all major brands and carry common parts, which means faster turnaround for you. Larry's 20+ years means he's seen — and fixed — it all.

Seasonal Pool Closing (Winterization)
Proper winterization protects your equipment, prevents algae growth over winter, and ensures a smooth spring opening. We deep clean, add winterizing chemicals, protect all components, and leave your pool in the best possible condition for the off-season.

Green Pool Clean-Up
A green pool isn't just ugly — it's a health hazard. Algae, bacteria, and pollen buildup require more than a bucket of shock. We use a professional multi-step treatment process to restore your pool's clarity and safety, no matter how far gone it looks. We've brought back pools that homeowners thought were beyond saving.

One-Time Pool Cleaning
Need a one-time cleanup after a party, storm, or extended vacancy? We bring our equipment, do a top-to-bottom cleaning and chemical balance, and leave your pool sparkling. No ongoing commitment required.

What Makes Us Different from Every Other Pool Company in Clearwater
There's no shortage of pool companies in Pinellas County. Here's what sets Dog Days Pools apart from the national chains, the franchises, and the revolving-door services that never seem to send the same person twice:
-
Dog Days Pools is not a franchise. When you call, you reach Larry. When we come out, it's Larry or a trusted member of his small team. You'll never wonder who's coming to your backyard because the answer is always someone you know and trust.
-
We earn your business every single week. Our month-to-month service plans mean you're never locked in, never penalized for pausing service, and never stuck with a company that stops performing. Contracts protect the business — not the customer. We don't need them because we do the work right.
-
Many pool companies quote a low service rate and then add chemical costs on top. With Dog Days Pools, chemicals are included in your monthly rate — always. No surprise invoices, no add-on charges, no confusion about what's covered.
-
Florida pools face unique challenges: intense UV exposure, heavy rain, high humidity, rapid algae growth, and year-round use. Two decades of working in this specific climate means we know exactly what your pool needs, before problems arise. We don't learn on your pool — we've already seen it all.
-
Unlike some services that expect you to have supplies on hand, Dog Days Pools arrive fully equipped. State-of-the-art cleaning tools, test kits, chemicals — everything needed to leave your pool in perfect condition, every visit.
-
High prices don't guarantee great service — and we've proven that. Dog Days Pools delivers exceptional results at fair, honest rates. Our customers often tell us they came to us after getting burned by overpriced companies that underdeliver.

No — and we're proud of that. Dog Days Pools operates entirely on month-to-month agreements. You can pause or stop service without penalties. We believe you should stay with us because you love the service, not because you're locked in.
Florida's heat, UV exposure, and tropical weather mean pools need regular attention year-round. We recommend weekly service to maintain proper chemical balance, prevent algae buildup, and keep your pool equipment running efficiently. Skipping even a week in Florida's summer heat can result in a green pool.
Yes — Dog Days Pools offers both routine maintenance and full pool repairs. From pump and motor replacements to filter issues, pipe leaks, and equipment malfunctions, we diagnose and fix the problem fast. Our 20+ years of experience mean we've seen every issue a Florida pool can throw at us.
Absolutely. Green pool clean-up is one of our specialties. No matter how bad it looks, we use a professional multi-step treatment to kill algae, restore water clarity, and bring your pool back to a safe, swimmable condition. We've restored pools that other companies said couldn't be saved.
