Services

One company,
every pool need.

Forty-four years means we do this in our sleep — opening your pool in spring, keeping it sparkling all summer, closing it down properly in fall, and tackling the bigger jobs in between. Five tracks for five kinds of customer.

Recurring service

Open, maintain,
close.

Seasonal pool service the way it's supposed to be done — predictable, on schedule, with the same crews every visit. Most customers stay with us for decades.

One-time work

Renovations
& replacements.

From liner-only replacements to full vinyl pool renovations with new decks, coping, lighting and equipment. We co-ordinate every sub-trade so you talk to one team.

Problem solving

Something's
not right?

Mystery leak, cloudy water that won't clear, equipment behaving oddly, or buying a home with a pool you don't know? Diagnostic work is what separates a pool service from a pool company.

Pool products

The right gear,
installed right.

Pumps, filters, heaters, robotic cleaners, automation, lighting, safety covers and salt systems. We sell what we service — so when something fails, you're covered.

Learn

Pool ownership,
without the guesswork.

Honest advice from people who've been doing this since 1981. Articles, FAQs, water chemistry guides, equipment comparisons and seasonal checklists — all written by our own technicians.

FAQ

Common questions,
real answers.

The five questions we get asked most often. For everything else, our full FAQ has 50+ answers from our own technicians.

Clean your skimmer and pump baskets at least once a week to maintain proper water flow and prevent strain on your pump. If your pool is surrounded by trees, gets a lot of debris, or sees heavy use, you may need to clean them more often. Pro tip: if you notice weaker water flow, check your baskets first — clogs are a common culprit.
Keep your pool's pH between 7.4 and 7.6 and alkalinity between 80 and 120 ppm for clean, comfortable, balanced water. Improper balance causes irritated eyes, skin discomfort, cloudy water, and damage to surfaces and equipment. If your levels are off, use pH up/down treatments or alkalinity increasers — or bring a water sample to our Pickering location for professional testing.
Cloudy water is usually a sign of imbalance from one of four causes: unbalanced chemicals (check chlorine, pH, alkalinity), poor filtration (run pump 24h until water clears, check filter), debris buildup (vacuum, brush, skim, empty baskets), or environmental factors (heavy rain, wind, pool party introducing bacteria). We offer in-store and on-site water analysis for stubborn cases.
Daily: chlorine/bromine & stabilizer. Weekly (ideally 2–3 times): pH, total alkalinity, calcium hardness. Also test after a rainstorm or pool party and adjust accordingly. Use a high-quality test kit — or bring a sample to our store for a professional water test. Regular testing prevents issues before they start.
Run your pump at least 19 hours a day so your entire pool volume passes through the filter 2–3 times daily. Run 24 hours after shocking or treating algae for maximum circulation. If water turns cloudy or green, increased filtration time helps resolve it faster. Got a variable-speed pump? Our team can help you optimize settings for energy efficiency without compromising water quality.
