Weekly Pool Cleaning & Maintenance
The same tech, the same day, every single week. We brush, skim, vacuum, balance your water with the LSI method, and send a digital report after every visit. Crystal-clear water across Cypress, Katy, Cinco Ranch and Fulshear.
What Is Included
The Weekly Routine
A real weekly service is a complete, repeatable routine, not a quick pass with a net. On every visit we brush the walls, steps and waterline to knock loose anything trying to take hold, skim the surface, and vacuum the floor or run your robot to pull up the silt and sand that settles between visits. Then we empty the skimmer and pump baskets, check filter pressure, and backwash or clean the filter the moment the PSI tells us it is time.
From there it becomes about the water itself. We run a full test and balance chlorine, pH, alkalinity, cyanuric acid and calcium hardness, top off your tablets or chlorine, and walk the equipment pad looking for drips, weak returns or anything starting to fail. Before we leave you get a digital service report with your readings, the work performed and photos, so you always know exactly what happened in your backyard.
The part our clients value most is consistency. You get the same tech on the same day each week, someone who already knows your pool, your equipment and your gate code, so nothing gets missed and there are no surprises.
Why It Matters
Most "splash and dash" services just dump chlorine in and move on. We balance to the Langelier Saturation Index, or LSI, which looks at how pH, temperature, alkalinity and calcium hardness work together to decide whether your water is protecting your pool or quietly destroying it. Get it wrong and aggressive water etches plaster, pits tile grout and corrodes metal in your heater and pump. Push it the other direction and scale builds up on surfaces, in the filter and inside the equipment.
Balancing to LSI keeps the water in that narrow neutral zone where your plaster, tile and equipment are actually safe. In the Houston area that matters even more, because long hot summers and heavy Gulf rains constantly shove your chemistry around. A simple chlorine reading misses all of that. Testing and adjusting the full picture every week is the difference between a pool that lasts and one that needs an expensive resurface years early.
We bring this same standard to every pool we maintain in Cypress, Katy, Cinco Ranch and Fulshear. It is more work than a quick pour of shock, and it is exactly why your water stays clear and your surfaces stay protected season after season.
FAQ
In the Greater Houston climate, weekly service is the standard. Long, hot summers push water temperatures up and speed algae growth, while heavy Gulf rains constantly dilute your chemistry and wash debris into the water. A seven-day cycle keeps chlorine and pH stable between visits so the pool never has a chance to turn. Pools with heavy tree cover or that run all summer sometimes benefit from twice-weekly service, which we can quote for your specific yard.
Every weekly visit includes brushing the walls, steps and waterline, skimming the surface, vacuuming or running the robot, and emptying the skimmer and pump baskets. We check filter pressure and backwash when needed, then perform full LSI water testing and balancing for chlorine, pH, alkalinity, cyanuric acid and calcium hardness. We top off tablets or chlorine, inspect the equipment and fittings for leaks, and send you a digital service report with readings and photos after the visit.
No. The vast majority of our clients are at work or running errands when we service their pool. As long as we have gate access, we let ourselves in, complete the full routine, latch the gate behind us, and send your digital service report so you know exactly what was done. If you have a locked gate, a smart lock code or a hidden key works perfectly, and you get the same tech each week who knows your property.
Pricing depends on the size of your pool, the equipment you run, the amount of surrounding landscaping, and whether you want chemicals included. Because every backyard is different, we give you an exact flat monthly rate rather than a vague range. Call or text us at (832) 538-7516 for a free, no-pressure quote, and we will walk your pool, take readings, and send pricing the same day.
