Weekly Pool Services

Keeping your pool clean is crucial for both its appearance and the health of the water. Our team ensures that your pool is always free from debris, dirt, and other contaminants that can compromise water quality.

• .Surface Skimming: Floating debris like leaves, insects, and other contaminants can accumulate quickly. We start by skimming the pool’s surface to remove all visible debris, keeping the water clear and reducing strain on your filtration system.
• .Vacuuming: For deeper cleaning, our technicians use high-powered vacuums to remove dirt, sediment, and algae that have settled at the bottom of the pool. This helps maintain clear water and prevents staining or damage to the pool floor.
• .Brushing Walls and Tiles: Over time, pool walls and tiles can accumulate grime, algae, and calcium deposits, which not only look unsightly but can also cause long-term damage if left untreated. We thoroughly brush these surfaces to prevent buildup and keep your pool looking pristine.
• .Emptying Skimmer Baskets: Skimmer baskets are essential for collecting larger debris, and if they’re full, they can’t function effectively. We empty these baskets during each visit, ensuring your filtration system is working at its best.

Maintaining proper water chemistry is critical to ensuring the health and safety of your pool. Water that is too acidic or too alkaline can damage pool surfaces, irritate skin and eyes, and reduce the effectiveness of your sanitizing chemicals. Our technicians perform comprehensive chemical checks and adjustments during each weekly service.

• .pH Levels: We measure and adjust the pH of your pool water to ensure it stays within the ideal range (7.2 to 7.8), preventing corrosion, scaling, and irritation.
• .Chlorine or Sanitizer Levels: Chlorine or other sanitizers are essential for keeping your pool water free from harmful bacteria and algae. We check the levels and add the necessary chemicals to keep your pool sanitized and safe for swimming.
• .Alkalinity: Alkalinity acts as a buffer for pH, helping to stabilize water chemistry. Our team ensures your pool’s alkalinity is within the recommended range, reducing the likelihood of pH fluctuations.
• .Calcium Hardness: Water that is too hard can cause calcium deposits on surfaces and equipment, while water that is too soft can corrode pool surfaces. We regularly monitor and adjust calcium hardness to prevent these issues.
• .Special Treatments: Based on the condition of your pool, we also apply specialty chemicals, such as algaecides or phosphate removers, to prevent or treat algae growth and ensure water clarity.

Your pool’s filtration system plays a vital role in keeping the water clean and safe. Without regular maintenance, filters can become clogged, reducing circulation and allowing contaminants to build up. Our weekly service includes thorough inspections of your pool’s filtration system.

• .Filter Cleaning: Depending on the type of filter (cartridge, sand, or diatomaceous earth), we clean or backwash the filter to ensure it’s operating efficiently. Clean filters improve water flow and help your pool equipment run more effectively.
• .Pump Operation Check: We ensure that your pool pump is working properly and efficiently circulating water throughout the system. A well-functioning pump is essential for proper filtration and chemical distribution.

Ensuring that your pool’s equipment is functioning properly is a crucial part of our weekly pool service. Our technicians conduct regular inspections to identify any issues early and help prevent costly repairs or breakdowns.

• .Pump and Motor Inspection: We check the pool pump and motor to ensure they are running efficiently without any unusual noises or performance issues.
• .Heater Check: For pools with heating systems, we verify that the heater is functioning properly, ensuring your pool stays at the desired temperature.
• .Skimmer and Return Line Check: We inspect skimmers and return lines to ensure they’re free from blockages and that water is circulating properly.
• .Visual Inspection of the Pool Area: We also assess the overall condition of the pool area, checking for any signs of wear or damage, such as cracked tiles or coping, loose fittings, or malfunctioning lights. If we spot any issues, we notify you immediately and can provide recommendations for repairs or upgrades.

At Alex Pools Service, we believe in transparency. After each weekly visit, we provide a detailed report on the status of your pool. This report includes:

• .Water Chemistry Results: A breakdown of your pool’s chemical levels, including pH, chlorine, alkalinity, and calcium hardness.
• .Work Performed: A list of the cleaning tasks completed during the visit (e.g., skimming, vacuuming, filter cleaning).
• .Equipment Status: Any issues detected with your pool equipment will be highlighted, along with recommended actions.
• .Special Notes: Any additional observations or recommendations for maintaining or improving your pool’s condition.

This ensures that you stay informed about your pool’s health and can address any potential issues before they become bigger problems.
