Frequently asked questions

Don’t see your question here? Call or text 904-703-4898. We’re happy to help, even if you’re not a customer yet.

How often should my pool be cleaned and serviced?

We recommend weekly maintenance to keep your pool water clean, safe and chemically balanced. In St. Augustine’s heat and rain, chemistry can drift quickly, so weekly is the sweet spot for most pools.

What does your standard pool cleaning service include?

Skimming debris, vacuuming, brushing walls and tile, testing and balancing water chemistry, emptying the skimmer and pump baskets, and looking over the pool equipment. We also clean the filter as needed.

Do I need to be home during the service?

No. As long as we can get to the pool area, we can finish the service without disturbing your day.

Do you service saltwater pools?

Yes. We maintain saltwater systems, including checking salt levels and making sure the chlorinator and salt cell are working properly.

Do I have to sign a long-term contract?

No. There are no long-term contracts. Service is available all year round, and you can pause or stop whenever you need to.

Do you offer one-time cleanings or only recurring service?

Both. Whether you need a one-time deep clean before a party or a home sale, a green-to-clean rescue, or ongoing weekly maintenance, we can tailor a plan to your pool.

How do I know if my pool needs professional maintenance?

Cloudy water, algae, chemical imbalances, rising filter pressure or noisy equipment are all signs your pool needs attention.

What areas do you serve?

St. Augustine and the surrounding area in St. Johns County, including Anastasia Island, St. Augustine Beach, Vilano Beach, Crescent Beach, Palencia and St. Augustine Shores. Call or text to check your neighborhood.

How much does pool service cost?

It depends on the size of the pool, how often you want service and what shape it’s in. Call or text 904-703-4898 for a free quote.
