When it comes to pool service in Clearwater, Dog Days Pools does things differently. We're not a franchise, a rotating crew of strangers, or a company that locks you into a 12-month contract. We're Larry and his trusted team — owner-operated, locally rooted, and personally invested in every pool we service.
-
For over 20 years, homeowners across Clearwater, Safety Harbor, Dunedin, Palm Harbor, Oldsmar, Countryside, East Lake Woodlands, and Lansbrook have counted on us to keep their pools clean, chemically balanced, and swim-ready week after week.
Unlike many pool companies that charge extra for chemicals, every Dog Days Pools service plan includes all chemicals in your monthly rate — no surprise add-ons, no fine print. And because we don't believe in trapping our customers, there are no contracts. Ever. You stay with us because you love the results.

What We Do On Every Pool Service Visit
One of the most common questions we get is: 'What exactly does a pool service visit include?' With Dog Days Pools, there's no mystery. Here's exactly what our trained technicians do every single visit — and why each step matters for the health and longevity of your pool.

Our Pool Service Plans in Clearwater & Surrounding Areas
Every pool is different — and so is every homeowner's situation. Dog Days Pools offers flexible service options with no contracts, so you get exactly what you need without paying for what you don't.
Weekly Pool Service — Our Most Popular Plan
For most Clearwater homeowners, weekly pool service is the smart choice. Florida's year-round heat, intense UV exposure, heavy summer rains, and constant threat of algae mean pools need consistent, regular attention to stay healthy. Skip even one week in the summer, and you risk a green pool.
Our weekly service plan covers everything in the checklist above — every single week, with all chemicals included in one flat monthly rate. No contracts mean you're never locked in, and our flexible scheduling means we work around you, not the other way around.
We even service your pool while you're on vacation. We can set timers, automate chemical dosing, and ensure everything is running properly without anyone needing to be home — or anyone entering your home at all.
One-Time Pool Cleaning
Need a single visit without a recurring plan? We've got you covered. One-time pool cleanings are perfect after a storm, before or after a backyard event, when you're moving into a new home, or if you have a seasonal or vacation property that needs a refresh.
Our one-time service is the same comprehensive cleaning our weekly customers get — full skim, brush, vacuum, chemical test and balance, basket cleaning, and equipment inspection. We bring everything with us. No prior relationship required.
Green Pool Clean-Up & Algae Treatment
A green pool isn't just an eyesore — it's a genuine health hazard. Algae and bacterial growth in pool water can cause skin irritation, eye infections, and respiratory issues. Throwing in a bag of shock won't cut it — green pool restoration requires a professional, multi-step treatment process.
Dog Days Pools has brought back pools that other companies said were beyond saving. Our green pool treatment process includes a full chemical analysis, algaecide treatment, super-chlorination, brushing and vacuuming, filter cleaning, and follow-up water balancing to get your pool back to crystal-clear, safe, and swimmable condition.
We identify the root cause too — poor chemical balance, inadequate filtration, or an equipment issue — so it doesn't happen again.
Pool Chemical Maintenance & Balancing
Maintaining precise chemical balance is the most technically demanding part of pool care. Too little chlorine and your pool becomes unsafe. Too much and you're irritating your swimmers' eyes and skin. Low alkalinity causes pH to bounce unpredictably. High calcium leads to scale and cloudy water.
Our technicians test and adjust pH, free chlorine, total alkalinity, calcium hardness, cyanuric acid (stabilizer), and other key parameters on every visit using professional-grade testing equipment. And unlike most competitors, all chemicals needed to make those adjustments are included in your monthly rate — not billed as an extra.
Pool Troubleshooting & Diagnostics
Not sure why your water is cloudy when the chemicals seem fine? Hearing a strange noise from the pump? Noticing your pool losing water faster than normal? Experienced eyes can spot what Google searches can't diagnose.
Dog Days Pools offers pool troubleshooting and diagnostics backed by 20+ years of hands-on Florida pool experience. We assess the full system — circulation, filtration, chemistry, and equipment — and give you an honest, clear diagnosis. No upselling, no unnecessary work. Just straight answers about what's going on and what it will take to fix it.
New Pool Start-Up Service
Getting the chemistry right from the beginning is the most important thing you can do for a new pool. An improperly balanced start-up can etch plaster, stain surfaces, and set your pool's chemistry on the wrong track from day one.
Dog Days Pools provides professional new pool start-up service — establishing proper chemical baselines, testing and balancing all parameters, inspecting equipment operation, and walking you through what you need to know going forward. Starting your pool right protects your investment for years to come.
Why Clearwater Homeowners Choose Dog Days Pools
There are plenty of pool service companies in Pinellas County. Here's why thousands of Clearwater-area homeowners have made Dog Days Pools their first — and last — call.
All Chemicals Always Included — Period
Many pool companies quote an attractive weekly or monthly rate, then bill you separately for chemicals every visit. Those add-ons add up fast. At Dog Days Pools, all chemicals are included in your flat monthly rate, always. No surprise invoices. No wondering what extra charges mean. One price, everything covered. Triangle Pool says 'basic chemicals included' — we include everything your pool needs, period.
No Contracts — Because We Don't Need Them
Contracts protect businesses from customers who might leave. We don't need that protection because we do the work right. Dog Days Pools operates entirely on month-to-month service agreements. Pause, resume, or stop at any time with no penalties. We earn your business every single week — and we're proud of it.
You're Dealing With the Owner
Dog Days Pools is owner-operated. When you call, you reach Larry. When something isn't right, Larry fixes it personally. When you have a question at 8pm, Larry picks up — because he has, and our reviews prove it. Compare that to a franchise where you're a ticket number in a management system.
20+ Years of Florida Pool Expertise
Florida pools are not like pools anywhere else. The subtropical heat accelerates algae growth. UV intensity burns through chlorine faster. Summer rains dilute chemicals and raise pH overnight. Two decades of working specifically in the Clearwater-area climate have given Dog Days Pools a depth of Florida-specific expertise that new or out-of-state companies simply can't match.
We Service Your Pool Even When You're Away
Going on vacation? Most homeowners worry about their pool while they're gone. Don't. Dog Days Pools can set your timers, automate chemical systems, and ensure everything runs properly — all without anyone needing to enter your home. Your pool will be in perfect condition when you get back.
Consistent, Reliable Scheduling — Including Evenings & Weekends
We're open Monday through Sunday, 9am to 9pm. Getting an estimate doesn't mean waiting until next business week. Scheduling a service doesn't mean rearranging your life. We work around your schedule, not the other way around.
