Question 1

How long does it take to fix a pool leak?

Accepted Answer

Finding the leak usually takes a couple of hours. Once we know where it is, the repair can take anywhere from a few hours to a full day. It depends on if the leak is in a simple pipe or deep under the deck. We always give you a clear plan and a price before we start the work.

Question 2

Why is my pool pump making a loud screaming noise?

Accepted Answer

A loud noise usually means the bearings inside the motor are wearing out. This happens over time as the seals get old and let a little water inside the motor. If we catch it early, we can often repair the motor. If it has been screaming for a long time, it might be better to replace it with a new, quiet pump.

Question 3

How often should I change the water in my pool?

Accepted Answer

In Florida, you rarely need to drain your pool completely. In fact, draining a pool in our high-water-table soil can be dangerous for the structure. Instead, we suggest "partial drains" if the chemical levels get too high. Most pools can go many years without needing a full water change if you keep the filter clean.

Question 4

Is it okay to run my pool pump during a storm?

Accepted Answer

If there is a lot of lightning, it is a good idea to turn off the power to your pool equipment. A power surge can damage the circuit boards in new pumps and salt systems. We also suggest clearing out your skimmer baskets after a storm so that leaves don't clog the pipes and starve the pump of water.

Question 5

What is the best way to keep my pool tiles clean?

Accepted Answer

The white crust you see on tiles is usually calcium. You can use a soft brush and a special pool tile cleaner to scrub it away. If it is very thick, we can use a "bead blasting" tool to gently remove it without hurting the tiles. Keeping your water balanced is the best way to stop the white spots from coming back.
