Regular Pool Maintenance: The Key to a Beautiful Pool

From skimming leaves to balancing chemicals, pool upkeep can quickly turn into a chore. 


We recommend doing the following tasks on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, and takes 45 to 90 minutes to get your pool in tip-top shape. Includes:


  • Skimming
  • Vacuuming
  • Brushing walls, floor, and any trouble areas
  • Emptying baskets
  • Cleaning the filter
  • Checking and maintaining equipment
  • Testing and balancing pH levels

We Can Solve Common Pool Problems

With regular maintenance and professional opening and closing, chances are good that you won’t have any major issues with your pool. If a common problem like this does crop up give Omni Pools & Scapes a call:

  • My water chemistry is off

    Your pool needs to have the optimal alkalinity, the right amount of chlorine or salt, and the right hardness in order to stay clean and not damage the pool materials. If you do your own strip tests and the chemistry isn’t right, let us know and we can run more in-depth tests to find the issue and fix it.

  • My pool water is green or discolored

    Green water is usually caused by algae. If you notice a greenish hue to the water, contact us promptly so we can get it under control. The longer you let green water go, the longer it will take to get everything back into the right balance.


  • My pool is dirty no matter how long the filter runs

    A dirty or clogged filter can cause cloudy or dirty water. Pouring in more chemicals will not fix the problem. During your regular maintenance, we will be checking the filter, but if you haven’t had maintenance or if the filter has gotten clogged, let us know and we can get it started up again or let you know what the problem is.


  • My pool pump or lights are not working

    Sometimes mechanical issues occur in between maintenance appointments. Contact us so we can get a technician out to diagnose the problem and let you know what needs to be done to fix it.


The goal is to keep your pool in the best possible condition all season long, so if you are unable to use your pool due to green or dirty water or a component not working properly, contact us as soon as possible so we can get you back to swimming and enjoying your pool.
