Palm Harbor, street by street

Palm Harbor isn't a city. It's an unincorporated community of about 61,000 people that went by Curlew and Sutherland before taking the name Palm Harbor in 1925. St. Joseph Sound is to the west, and the historic downtown sits near Florida Avenue and Alternate U.S. 19.

near_me

Because Palm Harbor covers so much ground, your service day depends on where the route runs past your street. That's why we ask for the street first, and why we'd rather confirm a day than promise one before we know where the pool is.

When your last pool company didn't work out

A new house, a pool that needed help

★★★★★

“I just bought a new house with a pool that needed help. Well it needed A LOT of help. I actually called another pool service first and within a week it was CLEAR to see that they were not up to the job.”

Phillip Pelletier, Google review, February 2018

Several of our reviews tell a version of that story. Here's how taking over a pool works:

visibility

1. Larry looks first

He sees the pool and the equipment in person, and tells you what he finds.

sell

2. Anything broken gets a price

Parts and repairs the pool needs are flagged on day one, with the cost, and anything over $50 waits for your OK.

eco

3. Green water comes first

If the pool has gone green, it's cleaned up as its own job before weekly service begins.

event_repeat

4. Then the routine

Your pool gets its weekly day and a technician who comes back to it.

cleaning_servicesA Weekly Visit

Pool cleaning and maintenance, visit by visit

WhenWhat your technician does
On arrivalTests the water and adds the chemicals the test calls for
At the poolSkims the surface, brushes the walls, steps, and swim-outs, and cleans the tile when it needs it; brushes or nets the floor if there's no automatic cleaner
At the equipmentEmpties the pump and skimmer baskets, backwashes or cleans the filter when the pressure calls for it, and looks and listens for anything off
On the way outCloses the gates behind them, and sends a photo if you've asked for one
star

The first visit is different

Larry typically does it himself. He balances the water, makes sure the system is working, and sets the filtration up properly, then hands the pool to its regular technician. Sometimes he keeps looking after it himself until it's ready to move to its permanent route day.

pets

Pets, gates, and the screen door

Nobody needs to be home. Give us a gate code or key, and leave the screen door unlocked on service day. We're dog- and cat-friendly: tell us how you want your pets handled, whether that's a text before we arrive so they can come inside or letting them roam, and we'll shut gates and patio doors behind us either way.

sellHow We Price

How weekly pool service is priced in Palm Harbor

We don't publish a price list, because no two Palm Harbor pools take the same work. Larry may give you a ballpark on the phone, but he always sees the pool before he prices it. What he looks at:

01pool

The pool itself:Size and volume, and whether it's salt or chlorine.

02park

The yard:Trees and landscaping that drop into the water, and whether there's a screen enclosure and what shape it's in.

03settings

The equipment:Heaters, automation, an attached spa, and water features like waterfalls or spillovers.

04water_drop

The water today:Algae, staining, or neglected chemistry need work before weekly service can settle in.

05lock

Getting to it:Locked gates or a crowded patio can add time, and Larry may factor that in.

Palm Harbor pool service questions

?Do you send a report after every visit?expand_more
Not as a routine. If you'd like a text before we arrive or a photo afterward, just ask.
?How do I pay?expand_more
Invoices come by mail each month. Pay by cash, check, card on file, Zelle, or automatic bank draft.
?Can you look at my equipment even if I don't want weekly service?expand_more
Yes. Whether it's the pump, filter, heater, salt system, timer, or plumbing, we'll diagnose it and price the fix. On a pool we don't service weekly, you approve every repair before it's done.
?What if my regular technician is out?expand_more
Larry or Hilary covers the route, so your pool still gets its visit.
