Service Cleaning
Say goodbye to the frustration of a green, murky pool and hello to crystal-clear waters. Let us take care of the hard work!

Service Cleaning Overview
Opened your pool to see a swamp? Unsure how to deal with it? Our specialized service cleaning pool maintenance service tackles the toughest post-winter pool conditions. We are typically able to get the pool from green to clear within 1-2 visits. We bring our own trash pump to remove the algae and dirt to limit what goes through your system. This prevents extra wear and tear on your pool equipment allowing it to last longer. Our staff have seen it all and can get your pool cleared up much quicker than your typical cleaning service.

- backwash (if necessary)

your questions answered
Can I pay on-site for maintenance?
We keep things simple and efficient for both our customers and technicians by billing all maintenance services weekly to the credit card we have on file. That means we do not offer the option to pay on-site for regular maintenance visits. Our maintenance schedules run smoothly when payments are automated, ensuring our team can focus on keeping your pool clean and clear, rather than chasing down payments. It also helps ensure you don’t have to be home or worry about leaving a cheque. If you’re interested in maintenance service, we’ll walk you through setup, including billing, when you sign up.
Can you test my pool water for me?
Yes, we absolutely can! If you’re enrolled in our weekly maintenance program, we’ll handle pool water testing as part of your service. That means no more weekly trips to the pool store with a sample in hand.
We’ll keep an eye on your water’s balance, helping prevent any issues before they start and making sure your pool stays sparkling clean. This service is only available to maintenance customers, and we do limit the number of clients we take on each season to ensure quality.
If you’re interested, we recommend signing up early to guarantee your spot.
You can also bring a water sample into our store for your FREE professional water testing.
Cancellation or rescheduling fee?
During our busy season (April – June & September – October). We do charge a cancellation fee if you cancel less than 24 hours before your scheduled appointment.
Do I need to backwash after vacuuming?
Yes, we do recommend backwashing your filter after vacuuming the pool. Vacuuming pulls dirt, leaves, and fine particles into your filter system. Backwashing helps push all that gunk out of the filter, keeping it clean and working efficiently.
Without backwashing, debris can stay trapped inside and reduce the filter’s performance. Think of it like rinsing out a sponge, you want to keep things flowing freely.
If you’re unsure how to backwash or how often you should do it based on your system, feel free to reach out or ask your technician during your next service. We’re happy to walk you through it.
How long should I wait to swim after shocking my pool with chlorine?
If you shock your pool with a standard 10L chlorine jug, we recommend waiting 24 hours before swimming. This allows the water to circulate through the system. This will apply to any type of chlorine treatment.
How often should I test my water?
We recommend testing the water once per week. The water chemistry can change based on the weather. When it is really hot, chlorine can burn off quicker. When it rains the PH and Alkalinity are affected. Testing your pool water once a week allows you to keep your water balanced, making it safe to swim for everyone.
Bring your water sample to our store. We offer free water testing! We also sell a variety of chemicals to help you maintain your pool. We are located at 380 Dundas Street E Oakville.
I’m vacuuming, but the suction isn’t very good. What should I do?
Weak suction can be caused by a few things:
- Lots of debris in the skimmer basket
- The filter needs to be backwashed or cartridges need to be cleaned
- The vacuum hose may not be connected fully
- water level might be too low and not allowing enough water to go through the system
- Your lines might be clogged
What should I do if my water is cloudy?
If your water is cloudy it is often because your chlorine level is low. If you have a salt cell you can put it into “super chlorinate mode” which will boost chlorine levels. If you use a chlorinator you can add more chlorine pucks and turn up the production. Of course if it is very cloudy, you can always shock the pool with 10L of chlorine but remember you shouldn’t swim for 24 hours after doing this!
You can also bring in a water sample to our store and we can check to make sure all your chemicals are in range. We are located at 380 Dundas Street E Oakville.
When will I be charged?
The day after the service has been completed, if we close your pool on Monday you will be charged Tuesday. We do require a credit card before the appointment to get you all booked in.
Will my pool be sparkling clean after the first vacuum?
We really wish we could say yes to this but unfortunately it all depends on the pool and how dirty it is (i.e lots of debris, green, leaves). Some pools can take multiple visits to get clean and operational – this is why we always recommend opening early! Check out our service cleaning and what is included
