Our Comprehensive Pool Cleaning Process
Our expert team at Alex Pool follows a detailed, step-by-step approach to ensure that your pool remains in perfect condition. We cover all aspects of pool cleaning, from surface skimming to equipment maintenance, providing a thorough clean every time. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect from our professional pool cleaning service:

Surface Skimming and Debris Removal
Floating debris, such as leaves, bugs, and dirt, can quickly accumulate on the surface of your pool, making it less inviting and contributing to poor water quality. Our technicians start by skimming the surface of the pool, removing all visible debris to prevent it from sinking to the bottom. Regular skimming not only keeps your pool visually appealing but also reduces strain on your filtration system.

Pool Vacuuming
Once the surface is clean, we move on to vacuuming the pool. Our team uses professional-grade equipment to vacuum the pool floor, removing dirt, algae, and any other contaminants that have settled at the bottom. Pool vacuuming is essential for maintaining the clarity and cleanliness of the water, ensuring that no dirt or grime is left behind.

Tile and Wall Brushing
To keep your pool looking its best and prevent algae buildup, we scrub the tiles and walls of your pool. Over time, calcium deposits, grime, and algae can accumulate on the walls, making the pool unsightly and potentially harmful to swimmers. Our skilled technicians brush these surfaces to loosen and remove any build-up, leaving your pool’s walls smooth and clean. This process also helps maintain the integrity of your pool’s surfaces, preventing long-term damage.

Filter Cleaning and Maintenance
Your pool’s filtration system plays a crucial role in keeping the water clean and safe. A clogged or dirty filter can reduce water circulation and allow contaminants to build up, leading to cloudy water and potential damage to the system. At Alex Pool, we check and clean your pool’s filter as part of our routine cleaning service. Depending on the type of filter (sand, cartridge, or DE), we follow the appropriate cleaning process to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your filtration system.

Water Chemistry Balancing
One of the most important aspects of pool maintenance is keeping the water chemistry properly balanced. Imbalanced water can lead to skin and eye irritation, algae growth, and even damage to the pool’s equipment and surfaces. Our pool experts test the water to measure the levels of pH, chlorine, alkalinity, and calcium hardness, ensuring that everything is within the recommended ranges. We then adjust the chemicals as needed to maintain crystal-clear, healthy water that is safe for swimming.

Algae Prevention and Treatment
Algae growth can quickly turn your pool from a refreshing retreat into a murky mess. Our pool cleaning services include preventive measures to keep algae at bay, ensuring your pool remains clear and inviting. If we detect any signs of algae, we treat the water with the appropriate algaecide and scrubbing techniques to eliminate the problem. Regular chemical balancing and maintenance play a key role in keeping algae from returning.

Pool Equipment Check
In addition to cleaning the pool itself, we also inspect the essential equipment that keeps your pool running smoothly. This includes checking the pump, filter, skimmer baskets, and chlorinator to ensure everything is functioning properly. If we identify any issues, such as a malfunctioning pump or a clogged skimmer, we can either perform the necessary repairs or recommend further action to prevent costly damage down the line.
