Do you have to sign anything? Be home? Lock up the dog? What does it cost, and how do you stop? These are the questions people ask before they call, so here are the answers in one place.

Getting started

Screened oval pool
call

1. You call

Describe the pool and the yard. You'll reach Larry or Hilary.

visibility

2. Larry sees the pool

He always looks at it in person before pricing it. The estimate for weekly service is free.

build

3. Anything that needs fixing

Parts or repairs the pool needs are raised on day one, with the cost. A green pool is cleaned first and priced separately.

4. The first visit

Larry typically does it himself: water balanced, equipment checked, run time set.

5. Your route day

Your pool joins the route that runs through your area, with its regular technician.

handshakeThe Arrangement

What you agree to, and what you don't

There is no written contract. When service starts, Larry walks you through a verbal maintenance agreement: your visit day, what gets cleaned, which chemicals are included and why, and what costs extra. What we quote is what you pay for the weekly visit and the basic chemicals, with no hidden fees.

ItemHow it works
Weekly visit and basic chemicalsOne monthly price
Small wear parts under $50O-rings, baskets, and cleaner parts are replaced when needed, without a call, and added to the next invoice
Repairs over $50Only after you've heard the price and said yes
Yearly filter serviceRequired for cartridge and DE filters, at the end of spring after pollen season; billed on an invoice. Sand filters are excluded
Specialty chemicalsFor staining, scale, or stubborn algae; explained when service starts and billed separately
contract_delete

Why no contract?We've never had anyone knock our door down wanting one, and to us, requiring one seems weird. A pool is a chaotic biological environment, open to the weather, bugs, and swimmers. It doesn't fit a fixed-cost subscription.

lock_openAccess and Pets

You don't need to be home

key

Keys and codes:Give us any gate codes or keys we'll need when service starts.

door_front

Screen doors:If you lock yours, leave it unlocked on your service day.

pets

Pets:We're dog- and cat-friendly. You decide how we handle your pets, and it goes into your file, where your technician can see it. Some customers want a text before we arrive so they can bring the dogs in; others let them roam. Either way, we make sure gates and patio doors are shut behind us. If a dog is aggressive, we'll ask you to keep it inside on service day.

photo_camera

A text or a photo:On request, we'll text before we arrive or send a photo when we're done.

helpFAQs

Quick answers

?Can I change my service day?expand_more
Ask. Days follow where the routes run, but we always try to accommodate a request.
?What if my regular technician is out?expand_more
Larry or Hilary covers the route.
?Do you send a report after each visit?expand_more
Not as a routine. A text before we arrive or a photo afterward is yours if you ask.
?How much is weekly service?expand_more
It depends on the pool, so Larry prices it after seeing it. The estimate is free.
?What if something goes wrong?expand_more
Call Larry or Hilary. If it was our fault, we make it right; parts under a manufacturer warranty are handled under that warranty's terms.
