# What Does Weekly Pool Service Actually Include?

A professional weekly pool service visit is more than just skimming leaves. It's a comprehensive maintenance routine that keeps your water safe, your equipment running, and your pool looking pristine.

## Surface Cleaning

Every visit starts with skimming the surface to remove leaves, insects, and debris. The technician will also brush the walls, steps, and waterline tile to prevent algae buildup and calcium deposits.

Pro Tip

Ask your service provider if they include waterline tile scrubbing - not all companies do.

## Vacuuming & Floor Care

The pool floor is vacuumed to remove settled debris. Some companies use automatic pool cleaners between visits, while others do manual vacuuming during each service call.

## Water Chemistry Testing

Your technician tests pH, chlorine (or salt levels), alkalinity, and stabilizer levels. Proper water chemistry prevents algae, protects equipment, and keeps swimmers safe. Most pros test with professional-grade kits that measure 5-7 parameters.

Pro Tip

Request a monthly water chemistry report so you can track trends and spot issues early.

## Chemical Balancing

Based on test results, chemicals are added to bring the water into ideal ranges. This typically includes chlorine or bromine, muriatic acid or soda ash for pH, and stabilizer (cyanuric acid) as needed.

## Filter & Equipment Check

A quick inspection of the pump, filter pressure, skimmer baskets, and pump baskets ensures everything is operating properly. Your tech should alert you to unusual noises, high pressure, or leaks.

## Basket & Drain Cleaning

Skimmer baskets and pump strainer baskets are emptied each visit to maintain proper water flow and protect your pump from debris damage.
