# Pool Service Checklist: What to Expect Every Visit

Not sure if your pool company is doing a thorough job? Use this checklist to evaluate their service and know what to ask for.

## Before Each Visit

A good company should communicate arrival times, provide service reports, and flag any issues from the previous visit. Many top-rated companies now offer app-based reporting.

## During the Visit

Surface skimming, wall and tile brushing, floor vacuuming, basket emptying, water chemistry testing, chemical balancing, filter pressure check, and a visual equipment inspection should all happen during each standard service visit.

## Monthly Extras

Once a month, expect filter cleaning (DE or cartridge), backwashing (sand filters), a more thorough equipment inspection, and lubricating o-rings on pump lids and valves.

Pro Tip

Ask your provider if monthly extras are included in your plan or billed separately.

## Red Flags

If your pool consistently has algae, cloudy water, or inconsistent chemical readings, your service may be cutting corners. Request chemical logs and don't be afraid to get a second opinion.
