Question 9

How often should my pool be serviced?

Accepted Answer

During swimming season (May through September in NJ), we recommend weekly professional service. This ensures proper chemical balance, clean water, and early detection of any equipment issues. Off-season, monthly checks are typically sufficient.

Question 10

What chemicals do you use?

Accepted Answer

We use professional-grade pool chemicals from trusted suppliers. Every visit includes testing and adjusting chlorine, pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness, and stabilizer levels. We tailor our chemical program to your specific pool and water conditions.

Question 11

What should I do if my pool turns green?

Accepted Answer

Don't panic — green pool recovery is one of our specialties. Call us right away and we'll come out to shock the pool, clean the filter, and get your water back to crystal clear. Most green pools can be recovered in 3-5 days with proper treatment.

Question 12

When should I open my pool in New Jersey?

Accepted Answer

Most NJ pool owners open between mid-April and mid-May, depending on weather. We recommend opening when overnight temperatures consistently stay above 50°F. Opening earlier is always better than later — it prevents algae growth and makes the process easier.

Question 13

When should I close my pool for winter?

Accepted Answer

Pool closing in NJ typically happens between mid-September and late October. We recommend closing when water temperature drops below 65°F consistently. Waiting too long risks freeze damage to plumbing and equipment.

Question 14

Do you offer seasonal packages?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We offer seasonal packages that bundle opening, weekly maintenance, and closing at a discounted rate. It's the best value and ensures your pool is professionally cared for all season long. Contact us for current package pricing.
