San Antonio Pool Cleaning Service

There is never a bad time to be a pool owner in San Antonio. When summer temperatures start to creep toward 100 degrees nothing beats cannonballing into a swimming pool. It’s easy to enjoy a sparkling clean swim space but keeping them that way can be tough! Water treatments, skimming, scrubbing and maintaining internal systems can feel like a full-time job but local Puddle technicians are here to help! 

Puddle crews don’t rely on basic test strips and simple tools for an average result. We use state of the art tools and techniques for a better-than-ever clean that boosts curb appeal and keeps water systems healthy and running smoothly. No matter the time of year Puddle technicians are available for routine San Antonio pool cleaning programs, seasonal pool maintenance and deep cleans to keep swim spaces in great shape. 

Effective Pool Care: The Importance of Routine 

Whether you are new to the world of pool maintenance or have years of experience under your belt, the needs of any swim space will fluctuate. The climate, conditions, usage rate and even the plants around an outdoor pool will have an impact on its condition. Forgetting just one chemical treatment can mean cloudy water and contamination. The secret to maintaining a swimming pool is consistency. 

During the spring/summer season swimming pools should be given a thorough cleaning on a weekly basis. It’s not enough to toss in a chlorine puck and flip the switch on a robotic pool vacuum. In order to get the best results for your water systems it’s important to break the process down into multiple steps — and that’s exactly what Puddle does! 

Water Chemistry: Contaminated pool water looks terrible and is a serious risk to health and safety. It’s important to test and balance chemistry regularly to ensure that your pool is safe to swim in. It’s easy to get stuck focusing on sanitizer levels like chlorine and bromine but it’s important to consider pH levels, total alkalinity and calcium too. 

Debris Removal: Anyone can grab a skimmer and scoop up floating debris or even insects but reaching unwanted items below the surface can be tricky. Standard vacuum heads aren’t designed to reach into tight spaces like corners or get into the area around steps. This creates pockets of debris buildup that will house contaminants or leave permanent staining behind. 

Scrubbing Structures: Over time scum and residue will start to form around the water line in a pool. This will need to be scrubbed off but using the wrong tool can lead to tears in vinyl liners. Puddle technicians use specialty soft bristle brushes to remove stains safely without causing damage. 

Flushing Lines & Check Filters: Puddle technicians will assess filter condition and flush lines to reduce the risk of buildup. Pool filters should be changed regularly to avoid strain on water circulation. Cartridge filters should be removed, cleaned and reinstalled every 3-4 months while a sand filter should be emptied and refilled with clean sand every 3-5 years depending on rate of use. 

Seasonal Pool Maintenance: Expert Care At Any Time of Year 

Many pool owners in Texas don’t think that they need to bother with pool closings or applying winter chemicals because the winter months are so mild. The truth is that disuse can be just as dangerous as freezing temperatures. In order to keep swim spaces in the best possible condition Puddle technicians offer options for pool closings, pool openings and off-season cleaning programs. 

Off-Season Pool Cleaning Programs

Because Texas is known for mild winters most pool owners opt for off-season pool care programs. These involve the same steps as a standard pool cleaning program but at a reduced frequency. Puddle crews put pumps on a timer, perform regular debris removal and water treatments so that when you are ready to open your pool for the season all you have to do is turn on the heater and hop on in! 

Pool Closing

Dropping the water level in an inground pool and winterizing plugs prevents cold weather damage but it also keeps contamination out of internal water systems. Swapping out mesh summer pool covers for a solid winter cover is also a great way to reduce the risk of algae growth. 

Pool Opening

If you’ve chosen to do a full closing, you’ll need to reopen in spring. Opening a swim space isn’t as simple as just shocking the pool and hoping for the best. It’s a long process that times time, energy and requires spending money on chemicals and pool equipment.
