Weekly Pool Cleaning
Our weekly pool cleaning covers the full visit, every time: skimming the surface, brushing walls and steps, emptying skimmer and pump baskets, and testing and balancing the water so pool owners are not guessing at chemicals. You get a service report after each visit, so you always know the state of your pool.
Testing never takes the season off, even in winter — a quick check keeps the water honest, and your weekly visit covers it.
Pool Repairs
When something breaks, our mechanic handles pool repairs: pumps, motors, filters, and the rest of the equipment pad. We explain what we found, what we recommend, and what it costs before the work starts.
Your equipment pad is one loop: pool to pump to filter to heater to chlorinator and back to the pool. The pump basket catches the big debris that would jam the impeller, and the filter strains the fine dirt a basket cannot catch, so a repair starts with knowing what each part of that loop is telling us.
Filter Cleans, Green to Clean, and More
• Filter cleaning, on a regular six-month schedule, so your filter never quietly falls behind.
• Green to clean service for pools that have gone swampy, including foreclosures and move-ins.
• Salt system maintenance for saltwater pools.
• Pool School: a private class at your own pool if you want to learn to run it yourself.
Your filter gauge is the filter's only voice: it reads the whole system's health and rises as the filter loads up with dirt. In November, leaves slip past the baskets and pressure can creep up a pound or two a week, and the action line is 8 to 10 pounds above your clean pressure. A salt cell turns salt into chlorine all summer, but cold water slows it down: most cells cut back in the fifties and stop making chlorine around fifty degrees, so winter chlorine comes from tablets, liquid, or a floater.
Pools and Weather
McKinney's mature trees drop leaves and pollen into pools nearly year-round, summer heat burns chlorine fast, and a single hard freeze night can crack equipment if the pump is not running. Our weekly visits catch the small problems, low water, a struggling pump, the start of algae, before they turn into repairs.
On a calm day, your pool sips water. On a windy November day in North Texas, it gulps: wind speeds evaporation, and one blustery week of dry air can drop the level an inch. Fall air arrives thirsty, and the pool is the nearest drink. Your skimmer only skims when the water is halfway up its mouth; below that it swallows air and strains the pump. If the level keeps falling, a bucket test helps sort weather from a leak — mark the water in a bucket and in the pool, compare after 24 hours, and if the pool has dropped more than the bucket, it is time to call your pool pro.
