How to Put an End to Costly Algae Cleanups with Regular Pool Service

It is all too familiar: you step out one morning and the pool has taken on a cloudy green hue. In a matter of days it has gone from crystal clear to a murky affair, and you can’t help but think that your wallet is being put to the test by these algae cleanups.

You are in good company. We at Pool Service Unlimited have been putting the minds of pool owners at ease in Collier and Lee Counties since 2005. From our home base in Naples we extend our services to Marco Island, Bonita Springs, Estero, South Fort Myers, Pelican Bay, Lely Resort, Naples Park and other areas. A call to (239) 306-6630 will tell you how routine maintenance is good for both your pool and your finances.

The High Price of Algae

At first it is just a hint of green and seems innocuous enough. Then in this Florida heat it makes quick work of itself. Before you know what you have there is a full blown bloom, which is no longer a matter of looks.

Consider the cost of putting down a serious case of algae:

• The extra chemicals required to shock and treat the water
• Time spent scrubbing at the walls, steps and tile to get the growth off
• Your pump and filter working overtime and showing it
• Filters clogged to the point they must be replaced or given a thorough cleaning
• A pool that is not swimmable for days as the treatment does its job
• Should you let the algae linger, damage to plaster and surfaces

Those are expenses that mount up, and for the most part they could be avoided with some consistency.

Prevention is the Order of the Day

Sunlight, warmth and unbalanced water are all algae wants to make itself at home. There is not much to be done about the sun in Florida but the chemistry is controllable, and regular service is the key.

A weekly check means the water is kept in check and sanitized, circulation is strong and any trouble is nipped in the bud before it has a chance. Our team puts our 10-Step process to work on each visit; you will see us do an equipment inspection, skim and vacuum, balance the chemicals, give the tiles a good scrub and even make sure the gate is secure. We will send you an email report after we are done so there are no questions. And with every service we include the standard pool chemicals, no separate bill for them.

When You Do the Numbers

In straightforward terms, one major algae cleanup is going to set you back in labor, chemicals and perhaps some repairs to equipment. Have it happen twice in a season and the tab grows. With weekly service you have a cost that is manageable and spread over the year, and you are forestalling the need for an emergency fix.

Then there is the matter of savings you might not see right away. Clean equipment and water in balance will put off the day your heater, filter or pump gives out. They are among the priciest components of your system and we would rather they last.

Our Approach

Details count in the prevention of algae and our service is not like the rest. When you engage our services you have:

• A Certified Pool/Spa Operator and Contractor in charge
• Technicians who are our employees, not some subcontractor
• All of our technicians have been background checked
• An in-house department for any equipment that needs repair
• No long-term contracts binding you
• Standard chemicals as part of the visit
• Up front costs with a free estimate

Having the repair department under one roof allows us to put an end to a pump or filter on its last legs during a normal visit and move on it quickly. Poor circulation is a frequent culprit in recurring algae and we will remedy it to spare you the green water.
