Cleaning by someone who also fixes the equipment
The real value of a weekly visit isn't the skimming. It's that someone who knows what a failing pump sounds like is standing at your pad every week. I catch a dripping seal or a rising filter gauge months before it turns into a dead pump in July.
Chemistry here is its own job. Our fill water starts hard, the sun burns chlorine off by mid-afternoon, and evaporation concentrates everything that's left. I test calcium hardness and stabilizer, not just chlorine and pH, and I adjust for what the water in Washington County actually does.
- Weekly: test and balance, skim, brush, baskets, filter pressure logged, equipment check, text report
- Filter cleanings and scale soaks when the pressure says so
- Green-to-clean recoveries after a hot weekend or a vacancy
- Spring start-up and fall adjustments for cooler water and shorter run times
- Salt cell inspection and cleaning as part of the route

What I usually find
Process
How I diagnose it
- Full test, every week
Free chlorine, pH, alkalinity, stabilizer, calcium hardness and salt where it applies. Written down so trends show up. - Baskets and brushing
Skimmer and pump baskets, walls, steps and the shade line where algae starts first. - Filter pressure and flow
Logged against the clean baseline. When it's up 8–10 PSI, it gets cleaned. - Equipment look-over
Pump sound, pad for drips, heater display, salt cell reading, valve positions. Thirty seconds that saves a call-out. - Text report
What I tested, what I added, anything I noticed. You know what's going on without being home.
Local
Why it's different here
St. George gets about 300 sunny days and summer water temperatures above 85°. Chlorine without enough stabilizer is gone in an afternoon. Maintenance here is about staying ahead of demand, not reacting to green water.
Calcium hardness climbs all summer as water evaporates and gets topped off with hard tap water. By September a pool that started the season in range can be well over it. I track it and tell you when a partial drain and refill makes sense.
Spring wind and summer monsoon season put red dust and debris in every pool in the valley. Baskets that are fine on Tuesday can be packed by Thursday. That's the week a pump runs dry and a seal fails, which is exactly why I check the pad on every visit.
FAQ
Questions I get on the first call
What's included in weekly service?
Water test and chemistry adjustment (chlorine, pH, alkalinity, stabilizer, and calcium hardness tracked for our water), skimming, brushing walls and steps, emptying skimmer and pump baskets, checking filter pressure, and a look at the equipment every visit. You get a short text after each stop with what I found.
Do you clean the filter as part of service?
I log the pressure weekly and clean the cartridge or backwash the DE when the gauge says it's time, not on an arbitrary calendar. Filter cleanings and chemical costs are handled the way we agree on up front; ask me and I'll explain how I price it.
Why do pools in St. George go green so fast?
Sun and heat. UV burns chlorine off in hours when water is 90°, and without enough stabilizer you can go from clear to cloudy over a hot weekend. I keep stabilizer where it belongs and chlorine ahead of the demand, which is the difference between a pool that stays clear in August and one that doesn't.
What about the red dust?
It's a fact of life, especially in spring and during monsoon storms. It packs skimmer baskets and settles on the floor. Brushing, basket checks and keeping the filter breathing are the only answers; a pool that's skipped two weeks in a windy April is a real cleanup.
Can you take care of a vacation rental?
Yes. Guests notice the pool first and complain about it loudest. Weekly service keeps the chemistry safe between turnovers, and I'll text you if something at the pad needs attention before the next check-in.
Can I just hire you for repairs and keep my current cleaner?
Absolutely. Plenty of my repair customers have a cleaning route already, or do it themselves. I'm not going to make cleaning a condition of fixing your pump.
