Key Takeaways
Pool Cleaning in San Antonio, TX
Pool owners understand that keeping water crystal clear involves a lot of hard work. Pollen, leaves, wind-borne dust and more can easily accumulate in your pool, collecting on the surface, clogging filters, damaging equipment, and taking away from the beauty of your backyard oasis. When it comes to pool cleaning, San Antonio homeowners trust ABC Home & Commercial Services for reliable, high-quality service.
ABC’s pool cleaning customers tell us that they enjoy the break from this routine task and the freedom to spend more time actually using their pool.
ABC’s pool cleaning service includes:
- Brushing, vacuuming, and skimming your pool to remove debris.
- Emptying pumps and skimmer baskets of leaves, sticks and other materials.
- Checking for algae growth and harmful bacteria.
- Testing the chemical balance of your water and making adjustments as needed to maintain ideal conditions. We test for pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness, chlorine, cyanuric acids and total dissolved solids.
At least once each pool season, our licensed specialists will inspect your filters, skimmers, ladders and other pool components for signs of wear and tear and bring any other potential red flags to your attention. Our pool cleaning service is designed to make life as easy on our customers as possible so you don’t have any unexpected surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! Our licensed specialists have the tools and equipment to clean almost any type of pool.
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 potential problems with your pool early on. By diagnosing and fixing a problem with a filter, valve or another part of your pool’s mechanical system, we can help you can address smaller problems before they become larger and more costly headaches down the road.
You will see the biggest benefit from your pool cleaning if a weekly schedule is maintained. 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 any needed schedule changes.
We create our pool cleaning schedules based on the availability of our specialists to serve different parts of the San Antonio area each day. We do everything we can to try to accommodate any schedule changes requested by our customers.
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’re happy to clean your pool when you’re away and have it ready to be enjoyed when you get home.
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 the type of treatment, 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.
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 twice 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.
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, you may need to perform a shock treatment to restore your pool’s chemical balance.

“Jacob conducted our ABC annual termite inspection and did a very professional job. He was thorough, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain his findings clearly. He arrived hours early but called first, worked efficiently, and ensured everything was properly checked. We appreciate his attention to detail and would gladly recommend him for future service.”

“Our front lawn was beyond help so we hired ABC to replace the grass and install limestone chop block borders. Vince Ng handled the estimate and oversight while the work was done by the site supervisor, Benjamin, along with Fidel and Juan. They were timely, professional, AND thorough!! We are so thrilled with the results and bonus was the price was very reasonable. When they planted the shade tolerant St. Augustine last month, it was pretty dormant but is greening up nicely. Highly recommend ABC…we also use them for irrigation and just started monthly lawn maintenance. Very happy customers!!”
