what's included

How we run acid wash.

When stains, scale, and aged plaster make weekly chemistry pointless, an acid wash strips the top layer of plaster and restores the surface. We drain the pool, controlled acid + brush wash, neutralize, refill, and rebalance from scratch. Done every 5–10 years for most plaster pools.

  • 01 Full pool drain (with permit + safe discharge)

common questions

Frequently asked.

01 Do you require a long-term contract?

No. Service is month-to-month. Cancel any time with two weeks' notice — we just ask for time to bridge you to the next service.

02 How does pricing work?

Every pool is different — size, type, equipment, and condition all change the math. We do a free site visit, look at your pool, and give you a flat monthly rate in writing. No phone-guesses, no surprise add-ons, no long-term contracts.

03 Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. We're CPO-certified (Certified Pool Operator), insured, and operate as The Blue Pools LLC. Proof on request.

04 What's the difference between weekly service and repair?

Weekly is the ongoing chemistry + cleaning route — same tech, same day each week. Repair is one-time work: pump rebuilds, heater diagnostics, leak detection, plumbing. Weekly clients get priority on repair scheduling and a small loyalty discount on parts.

05 How fast can a green pool be cleared up?

Most pools are swimmable within 3–7 days of starting recovery. Severity matters — a 'light green' clears faster than a black-green pool that's been sitting for months. We'll give you an honest assessment on day one.

06 Do I need to be home for service?

No. We have keys / gate codes / fobs for most clients. We log every visit so you can see what was done without being there.
