What's Included in Pool Maintenance

Pool maintenance is not just vacuuming — it's cleaning, water care, and oversight in one visit. Here's exactly what we cover.

Surface Skimming
Leaves, insects, and debris removed from the pool surface before they sink and create problems.
Pool Vacuuming
Full vacuum of the pool floor and walls to remove settled dirt, algae, and debris.
Water Testing & Balancing
We test and adjust chlorine/sanitizer, pH, and other key chemistry to keep water safe and comfortable.
Basket Cleaning
Pump and skimmer baskets cleared to maintain proper flow and protect your equipment.
Filter Backwash
Filter backwashed after each vacuum to restore filtration efficiency and extend filter life.
Equipment Inspection
Visual check of pump, filter, and heater. If we spot a concern early, we'll flag it before it becomes a repair.
Scum Line Removal
Oils, sunscreen, and buildup along the waterline cleaned to keep your pool looking sharp.
Salt Cell Inspection
For saltwater pools — salt cell inspected and cleaned as applicable (extra charge may apply).
Maintenance Log
Written service record provided after each visit — useful for homeowners and required for commercial facilities.
Maintenance includes cleaning. Every visit covers skimming, vacuuming, basket emptying, and water care. Depending on your package, it also includes seasonal support, chemicals, and service calls.

Which Service Level Do You Need?

Not sure if you need a one-time clean or a full season package? Here's how to think about it.

  • Neglected or green pool recovery
  • Billed at $100/hour
Request Service

How Often Should You Service Your Pool?

Weekly Visits
Recommended for most pools throughout the season. Keeps chemistry stable and prevents issues from compounding between visits.
Bi-Weekly
Every Two Weeks
A good fit for pools with lower bather load or those supplementing with their own basic upkeep between visits.
As Needed
On-Call Cleaning
Book when you need it — ideal for seasonal refreshes, catch-up clean, or one-time situations before events. Schedule in advance.

Spring books fast — plan ahead.

Maintenance schedules and packages fill quickly. If you want regular service through the season, the best move is to reach out early and get your spot confirmed before peak season hits and the schedule fills up.

Regular Maintenance Prevents Bigger Problems

Balanced water isn't just about looking good — it's about comfort and safety. When chemistry drifts, you'll feel it: algae, cloudy water, irritation, or a harsh chlorine smell. Regular visits catch these issues before they take hold.

If we notice early signs of a problem — equipment concerns, abnormal water loss, or circulation issues — we'll flag it quickly. A small catch early avoids a large repair bill later.

Knowledgeable Technicians

Our techs know what to look for — not just how to run a vacuum. They explain what they find and give you real recommendations.

Reliable, Consistent Service

We show up when scheduled and document every visit, so you always know what was done and what to watch for.

Local to Waterloo Region

We understand Ontario pool seasons — the spring startup challenges, summer heat, and fall leaf load that affect maintenance needs here.

Residential & Commercial

Whether it's a backyard pool or a shared facility, we provide consistent service and proper documentation for any situation.

Pool Maintenance FAQs

Does pool maintenance include cleaning? +
Yes. Maintenance includes cleaning. Every visit covers skimming, vacuuming, basket emptying, and scum line removal — plus water testing and balancing. Cleaning is not a separate service; it's part of what we do on every maintenance visit.
How often should I schedule pool maintenance? +
For most pools, weekly maintenance is recommended through the peak swimming season to keep water properly balanced and prevent issues. Bi-weekly works for pools with lower bather loads or where the homeowner handles basic upkeep in between. We can help you figure out the right cadence for your situation.
What's the difference between your packages? +
The Spring Cleaning ($300) is a post-opening package that includes two vacuumings and a chemical kit to get your water dialled in. The Summer Clean ($949.99) and Cleaning Pro ($1,649.99) are visit-based packages — 10 or 18 one-hour vacuumings respectively, with chemicals billed separately. The Silver ($2,172.98) and VIP ($3,979.88) packages bundle opening, closing, and a full season of vacuumings, with the VIP also including chemicals and a service call. Commercial is priced by quote.
Do I need maintenance if I have a saltwater pool? +
Yes. Saltwater pools still require regular professional care. We inspect your salt cell, monitor chlorine production from the cell, adjust pH levels, and maintain overall water chemistry and equipment performance. Salt systems automate some chlorination but don't eliminate the need for regular balancing and oversight.
Do you service above ground pools? +
Yes. We service inground, onground, and above ground pools across Waterloo Region. The same maintenance tasks apply regardless of pool type — cleaning, water balancing, and equipment checks.
How do I know if my pool needs professional attention? +
If your water is cloudy, green, or has a strong chlorine smell — or if your equipment seems off (noisy pump, low flow, abnormal water loss) — it's time to call in the pros. Early intervention almost always saves time and money compared to letting issues compound.
Are chemicals included in the service? +
It depends on the package. The Spring Cleaning and VIP packages include specific chemicals as detailed. The Summer Clean, Cleaning Pro, and Silver packages have chemicals billed separately. We can also drop off chemicals and invoice separately if needed. We'll be upfront about what's included before any work begins.
Do you offer commercial pool maintenance? +
Yes. We maintain pools for condos, small hotels, and fitness facilities. Commercial packages include two visits per week for 22 weeks, monthly inspections, priority service, chemical balancing each visit, full opening and closing, and detailed service logs. Pricing is by quote — contact us to discuss your facility's needs.
