Whats Included in a Pool Cleaning Visit?

 If you've ever wondered what exactly a professional pool service includes, you're not alone. We get this question all the time from new customers here in Bryan-College Station, and the truth is—it’s a lot more than just skimming leaves.

Our goal is to keep your pool clean, safe, and running smoothly so you can enjoy it without lifting a finger. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect during a typical service visit from our team.

1. Skimming, Brushing, and Vacuuming

We start every visit with a full surface skim to remove leaves, bugs, and debris from the water. After that, we brush the pool walls, steps, and waterline tiles to prevent algae and buildup. If needed, we vacuum the pool floor—either manually or with an automatic vacuum system.

Why it matters: Regular brushing and vacuuming not only keep your pool looking great, they also prevent costly issues like algae growth and staining.

2. Chemical Testing and Balancing

We perform an on-site test of your pool water, checking levels for:

  • Chlorine or Sanitizer

  • pH

  • Alkalinity

  • Stabilizer (CYA)

  • Calcium Hardness

Then we adjust chemicals as needed to maintain perfect water balance. We bring everything we need with us, so you don’t have to worry about storing any chemicals at home.

Pro Tip: Balanced water protects your pool equipment, keeps swimmers safe, and prevents cloudy water and algae problems.

3. Filter and Pump Check

Your filter and pump are the heart of your pool system. During every visit, we:

  • Inspect the filter pressure and backwash or clean if needed

  • Check the pump for proper function, leaks, and unusual noises

  • Empty pump and skimmer baskets

Common issues we catch early: low flow rates, clogged impellers, worn-out seals, and leaks around fittings.

4. Visual Equipment Inspection

We take a few minutes to walk the equipment pad and inspect:

  • Pool heater (if installed)

  • Valves, timers, and automation systems

  • Chlorinators or salt cells

  • Plumbing lines and unions

We’ll let you know right away if we spot something that needs attention—and we often catch issues early, before they become expensive repairs.

5. Top-Off Water (If Needed)

If your water level is low, we’ll alert you (or top it off with your permission). Maintaining the right level is key for proper skimming and equipment function.

Additional Services

In addition to our standard visits, we also offer:

  • Filter cleanings

  • Green pool recovery

  • Pool school - everything you need to know about your pool

When you hire a professional pool service, you’re not just paying for clean water—you’re investing in peace of mind. Our job is to catch the little things before they become big problems and to give you more time to enjoy your pool instead of working on it.
