Frequently Asked Questions
Can you clean my saltwater pool?
Absolutely! Our licensed specialists have the tools and equipment to clean almost any type of pool.
Can you also make repairs?
One of the benefits of choosing ABC for your pool cleaning is that our skilled pool specialists not only know how to keep your pool water sparkling clean, but also can spot any equipment or mechanical problems with your pool early on, and refer one of our repair specialists to your issue. By diagnosing and fixing a problem with a filter, pump, heater or another part of your pool’s mechanical system, we can help you can address smaller problems before they become larger headaches. See our repair page for additional information.
Will my pool be cleaned on the same day each week?
You will see the most benefits from your pool cleaning if a regular schedule is maintained, so yes, in most cases, your ABC pool specialist will come to your home on the same day each week. During holiday weeks or in inclement weather, our office will contact you to make temporary or short-term schedule changes.
Can I change the day of the week my pool is cleaned?
We create our pool cleaning schedules based on the availability of our specialists to serve different parts of the city each day. We will do everything we can to accommodate any schedule changes requested by our customers, but can’t guarantee it. The more efficiently we can route our cleaning specialists, the lower we can keep prices.
Do I need to be home when you clean my pool?
Most of our pool cleaning occurs during the day when our customers aren’t at home. As long as our specialists know how to access your pool area and your pets are safely inside, we will be happy to clean your pool so that you can return to enjoy the beautiful, clear water.
How long do I need to wait to use my pool after a chemical treatment?
If we perform a chemical treatment on your pool during a routine visit, we will leave you with clear instructions about when you can use your pool again. Depending on what kind of treatment was performed, you can typically use your pool again anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour to allow the chemicals to mix into your pool water. If we need to “shock” your pool, you will need to test your chlorine levels to see when the level drops to a safe level to determine when you can swim again.
How often should I test my pool’s chemicals?
Although you can usually perform weekly testing on your pool’s chemicals, you are safer testing your pool water’s chlorine and pH levels at least two times a week. Regularly testing and adjusting your water balance will ensure your swimming environment is sanitary, that your pool water is clear and that your equipment is able to function properly.
What am I doing wrong if my pool smells strongly of chlorine or if the water burns my eyes?
Although it may seem strange, a strong smell from your pool actually means the opposite of what you might think: that instead of too much chlorine, there is actually not enough of this chemical in your pool water to neutralize the ammonia in the water. Organic materials such as suntan lotion, makeup and hair spray—otherwise known as chloramines—can react with the chlorine in your pool water, reducing its ability to sanitize and disinfect your pool. In some cases, when this happens, the pool may need a shock treatment to restore the chemical balance. Our specialists are able to do water testing and handle any the fixes to the problem.

“I use ABC Home Services for a home that I manage. We have lawn service every other week. They didn't blow off the back deck which isn't unusual. They flew through the backyard and I am looking at grass/weeds over 1 ft tall that they missed. I think it's because the branches were low on the trees. They still could have used the weed eater on that section and chose not to. They are not always detail oriented.Some weeks are better than others. I use the irrigation department. I really like Brandon. I also have weed service. Today a new guy that I've never met came to treat the weeds because I wasn't satisfied with the results seeing that we have been having them treated for over 1 year. He explained to me that it is not an easy or a fast fix. He was very detailed and I have a much better understanding now. His name is John and I like him a lot ABC is very responsive. 'm very happy with ABC as a whole.”

“UPDATE: I spoke with the GM, Manny. He was understanding, talked it out with me, and we have it figured out. I appreciate the professionalism with ABC, understanding nature, and that the product works well. When speaking with my husband, we will continue using ABC for these reasons. We genuinely appreciate that the business cares about its customers. We have been using ABC for pest for a while now. The folks who work there are wonderful and professional. We have the mosquito service, and after it rained quite a bit (almost right after the service), it seemed to reduce the prevention of the product. I was surprised that there was an additional charge to come and respray- but upon speaking with other companies, this is a normal industry practice. The product does work well, though.”
