Our services
Weekly service covers the water, the surfaces and the equipment in one visit: skimming the surface, brushing the walls and steps, vacuuming the floor, emptying the skimmer and pump baskets, checking the filter and testing and balancing the water. With pools in use close to year round on the Gulf Coast, a steady weekly rhythm is what keeps the water clear.
Hot tubs hold a small volume of hot water and a concentrated bather load, so chemistry changes quickly. Service covers the water and the filters and checks the jets, pumps and heater, and hot tub water also needs draining and refilling from time to time, since dissolved solids build up and cannot be filtered out.
Buying a home with a pool, or want to know where yours stands? An inspection looks at the pool, its equipment and its water so you know what you have before you commit.
Some water loss to evaporation is normal in a Sarasota summer. If the level keeps dropping faster than the weather explains, drops even with the pump off or you are adding water every few days, leak detection uses pressure testing on the plumbing lines and dye testing at fittings, lights, skimmers and returns to find where water is escaping, without digging.
Fountains, waterfalls and other water features need the same attention to water quality and circulation as a pool. They are cleaned and balanced on a regular schedule so the water stays clear and the pumps keep running smoothly.
After every visit
Before we leave, you get a report with photos of your pool, the chemical readings we took and a checklist of everything we did. No guessing what happened while you were at work.
NOAA’s 1991 to 2020 normals for Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport show a January average high of 72.5 F and an August average high of 91.5 F, and the station’s long record shows freezing nights only on a handful of isolated January dates. Most pools here are in use close to year round, so they need care year round too.
With August averaging a high of 91.5 F and a low of 75.3 F, warm water uses up sanitizer faster and gives algae an easy start. Steady weekly testing and balancing through the hottest months keeps the water ahead of it.
The National Weather Service puts southwest Florida’s rainy season at roughly May 15 to October 15, with almost daily afternoon thunderstorms, and August is the wettest month at the airport station with 9.11 inches on average. Heavy rain dilutes your chemistry and washes leaves and debris into the pool, so water is rebalanced after storms and baskets and filters are kept clear.
Local tap water is a blend of sources. Manatee County mixes Floridan aquifer groundwater with surface water from the Lake Manatee Reservoir, and Sarasota County blends water from the Peace River supply, its own wellfield and Manatee County. Because the mix varies, your pool’s calcium and pH are tested on every visit rather than assumed.
I was in a bind due to green algae in my pool and needed someone to help on a weekend. My current pool person did not service the pool that week. I left messages with 5 companies on a Friday night and Kyle was the ONLY one who called me back. He explained the process to me in detail so I knew what to expect. He put in extra hours to make sure the pool extra clean and ready for the new buyers the following day. He was respectful, Knowledgeable and so very understanding about the emergency. I have had a pool guy for 4 Years and Kyle was able to correct what the current pool guy missed.
Kyle did a great job by turning my pool from awful green to crystle clean in three days. I will keep the number and refer Puddle Pool Services to any of my friends in the future.
Discovered Puddle Pools through internet search and could not be more pleased. Great communication, always on time, handled my request to cover my pool professionally, offering me options, helping me decide, then doing a great job. Would hire them again for anything.
Puddle Pools did a great job! They’re always on time, and they made it easy to schedule online. I highly recommend them if you need pool cleaning in Sarasota!
Puddle Pool Services helped us immensely. We've been looking for a reliable pool service company and have been through a few ( some didn't even show up!). We heard about this company from neighbors who were very happy. Highly recommend!
