How we run filter service.
Filters do the work — when they're dirty, chemistry can't fix it. Annual cartridge cleans, DE recharges every 4–6 backwashes, sand changeouts every 5–7 years. We do them properly: full disassembly, hose-clean, manifold + standpipe inspected, O-rings replaced when needed.
- Full disassembly + hose clean of cartridges
- DE grids inspected, fingers replaced as needed
- Sand replacement with proper #20 silica
- Manifold + standpipe inspected, O-rings replaced
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.
