Pool Service in Dunedin, FL
Pool service for Dunedin, right next door to our Clearwater base, whether you need it every week or once before guests arrive.
Dunedin borders Clearwater, where Dog Days is based, so a Dunedin pool is close to our existing routes. Whether the pool needs weekly care or a one-time clean before guests, Larry will come and look.
For weekly customers, the basic chemicals come with the visit. Call (727) 205-0566 and you'll reach Larry, the owner, or Hilary, who manages service.
Next door to Clearwater, on St. Joseph Sound
Dunedin sits on St. Joseph Sound, with Palm Harbor to the north. Two Scottish merchants, J.O. Douglas and James Somerville, opened a general store here in 1882, and the name comes from the Gaelic for Edinburgh. It became a town in 1899 and a city in 1925; today, about 36,000 people live here.
Visitors come for Honeymoon Island and Caladesi Island state parks, the Pinellas Trail, Blue Jays spring training, which has been here since 1977, and the Highland Games, held since 1967. If family is coming for any of it, you'll want the pool ready.

An older town, and some older pools

Dunedin dates to 1882, and it has 31 local historic landmarks and properties on the National Register of Historic Places, including the J.O. Douglas House. If your pool has been around a while too, its pump, filter, and timer may have been replaced one at a time over the years.
That's fine. On Larry's first visit, he balances the water and makes sure the system is working, and flags any part that needs replacing, along with the cost.

Getting the pool ready for guests
If guests are on the way and the pool isn't where it should be, a one-time cleaning brings it back for the visit. Call as soon as you know the dates.
A visiting aunt, a green pool
“I am from out of town visiting my Niece and her husband. They bought this house a few months ago with a pool and have tried endlessly to clear it up, it remained green.”
Timing it right
Book the cleaning a day or two before the Highland Games weekend or the family arrives, not the same morning, and tell us how many people will be swimming.
How a one-time cleaning works
Larry sees the pool, tells you what it needs, and gives you a price for the visit. If the cleaning turns up a part that's failing, you decide whether to fix it: on a one-time job, every repair waits for your OK, whatever it costs. If the water is fully green, the clean-up is its own job and can take more than one visit.
After the guests go home
If the pool looked good for the visit and you'd like it to stay that way, weekly service can pick up from there. There's no contract, and Larry already knows the pool.
Going away instead?
If you're the one traveling, weekly service keeps going while you're gone. Tell us your dates and the best way to reach you, and ask for a photo after a visit if you'd like to see the pool.
