What Should a Pool Service Company Do Every Week?

DIY Pool Maintenance vs. Professional Pool Service
DIY pool care offers control and potential savings; professional service provides consistency, convenience and experienced observation. The best choice depends on your time and comfort level.

Why Is My Pool Pump Not Circulating Water?
A pump may stop circulating because of low water, a clogged basket, lost prime, an air leak, a valve problem, a blocked impeller or an equipment failure.
Why Is My Pool Filter Pressure So High?
Filter pressure usually rises when debris or another restriction makes it harder for water to move through the filter and return plumbing.
Why Is My Pool Chlorine Level Always Low?
A low chlorine reading usually means the pool is using chlorine faster than it is being replaced. Sunlight, heat, debris, algae, heavy use and water-balance problems are common causes.

Why Are There Green, Yellow, or Black Spots on My Pool Walls?
Color is only the first clue. Texture, location, brushing response, recurrence, chemistry, and pool finish help distinguish algae from stains.
