1. How often should my pool be serviced in Sacramento’s climate?
    Weekly service is recommended due to high summer temperatures and heavy leaf debris from local trees.

  2. Do I need to run my pool pump every day?
    Yes—especially in summer. We recommend running the pump 6–8 hours/day for proper circulation and filtration.

  3. How do I prevent algae growth in the summer?
    Weekly chemical balancing, brushing, and proper circulation prevent algae blooms, which are common in Sacramento heat.

  4. What is included in your standard pool service?
    Depending on your plan: water testing, chemicals, basket emptying, brushing, skimming, and vacuuming.

  5. Do you service pools year-round, even in the winter?
    Yes. Regular winter service helps protect your equipment, prevents staining, and reduces start-up costs in spring.

  6. Is drought a concern? Can I still own a pool?
    Yes, but be water-wise. Covers reduce evaporation, and we help you monitor water levels to meet local guidelines.

  7. How do I know if my pool equipment is working properly?
    We check pressure, flow, and inspect for leaks or wear during every visit. We'll notify you of any needed repairs.

  8. How often should my pool water be tested?
    Weekly. We test pH, chlorine, alkalinity, calcium hardness, CYA (stabilizer), and salt (if applicable).

  9. Can you help with green or cloudy water?
    Absolutely. We offer one-time clean-ups and green-to-clean services with rapid turnaround.

  10. Do I need a pool cover in the Sacramento area?
    It’s recommended. Covers help retain heat, reduce evaporation, and keep out leaves (especially during fall).

  11. Is calcium scaling a problem in EDH or Folsom?
    Yes. Our water is hard. We help manage calcium hardness and brush scaling before it becomes permanent.

  12. What should I do if my pool is losing water?
    Could be evaporation, plumbing leaks, or equipment issues. We offer leak detection services if needed.

  13. How much does pool service typically cost in this area?
    Plans range from $105/month (chemical-only) to $205/month (full service) depending on what you need.

  14. Do you offer chemical-only service?
    Yes. Our basic plan includes weekly water testing and chemicals for owners who prefer to handle cleaning themselves.

  15. What chemicals are used in my pool?
    We use chlorine, acid, stabilizer, algaecide, and sometimes phosphate removers—always tailored to your pool’s needs.

  16. Can you automate my pool system or install smart controls?
    Yes! We install and program smart pumps, heaters, and automation panels compatible with mobile apps.

  17. Are you licensed and insured in California?
    Yes. We are fully licensed and insured, and familiar with county health codes and drought rules.

  18. Do you work on saltwater pools?
    Absolutely. We clean and maintain salt cells and monitor salt levels with every visit.

  19. Can I swim right after my pool is serviced?
    Generally, yes. But we recommend waiting 30–60 minutes after chemical additions to allow for circulation.

  20. What if I have a pool and spa combo? Is it extra?
    No extra charge on most service tiers—both are covered under the same plan unless otherwise specified.
