Let’s Start Your Next Project

Do you service pools you did not build?

Yes. We service and maintain pools regardless of who originally built them. Our technicians are experienced with a wide range of pool systems, equipment brands, and construction types.

We provide pool service throughout Northern New Jersey and beyond. If you’re unsure whether you fall within our service area, contact our office and we will be happy to confirm.

No. As long as we have access to the pool area and equipment, our technicians can complete the service without the homeowner being present.

Most pools benefit from weekly professional maintenance during the swimming season. Some clients choose monthly visits depending on their usage and comfort level with basic upkeep.

Most pools in Northern New Jersey are opened between April and early June. Opening earlier can help prevent algae growth and make the start of the season smoother.

A typical pool opening includes:

  • Removing and folding the winter cover
  • Reinstalling pool equipment and fittings
  • Removing of winter plugs
  • Starting the filtration system
  • Initial chemical balancing
  • Basic system inspection

Pools are typically closed when water temperatures consistently drop below 65°F, usually in late September through November.

Closing service typically includes:

  • Winterizing plumbing lines
  • Lowering water level if required
  • Adding winter chemicals
  • Removing ladders and accessories
  • Installing the winter cover

Valet service is routine professional pool maintenance where our technicians visit your home on a scheduled basis to keep your pool clean, balanced, and operating properly.

  • Vacuuming the pool as needed
  • Brushing walls and tile line

We service and install most major types of pool equipment including:

  • Pumps
  • Filters
  • Heaters
  • Salt systems
  • Automation systems
  • Lighting systems

Signs of equipment issues may include unusual noises, reduced circulation, leaks, or heating problems. Our technicians can diagnose the system and recommend repair or replacement when necessary.

  • How to operate your equipment
  • Cleaning and maintenance procedures

Most indoctrinations take between 60–90 minutes, depending on the complexity of the pool and equipment.

If our technicians notice an issue during a service visit, we will notify you and provide recommendations before proceeding with any repairs.

Yes. We provide professional water testing at our retail location. Bring a water sample from your pool and our team will analyze it and recommend the proper chemicals or adjustments to keep your water balanced.

Collect your sample in a clean container, preferably a small bottle or jar. Take the water from elbow-depth in the pool, away from return jets or skimmers, and bring it to our store as soon as possible for the most accurate results.

Our water testing evaluates the key factors that affect water quality and swimmer comfort, including:

  • Chlorine levels
  • pH balance
  • Total alkalinity
  • Calcium hardness
  • Stabilizer (cyanuric acid)

Most water tests take only a few minutes. Once complete, our team will explain the results and provide simple recommendations to correct any imbalances.

No. Our goal is to help you understand your pool water and keep it properly balanced. If products are needed, we can recommend the appropriate ones from our retail store.
