FAQs

Owning a pool is a delightful luxury, but it requires regular upkeep to keep it sparkling clean and safe for swimming. A common question pool owners ask is, “How often should I have my pool serviced?” At Evo Pool Service, we offer two main maintenance plans: weekly and bi-weekly. Let’s dive into the details to help you decide which one is best for you.

The Weekly Maintenance Plan: Complete Peace of Mind

Our weekly maintenance plan is for those who prefer a hands-off approach to pool care. With this plan, our experienced technicians visit your pool every week to perform a comprehensive set of tasks, including:

• Thorough Cleaning: We clean the pool surface, vacuum, and scrub the walls and tiles.
• Basket and Filter Maintenance: All baskets, including the skimmer and pump baskets, are emptied and cleaned. We also inspect and clean the filter for optimal performance.
• Chemical Balance: Maintaining the right chemical balance is crucial. We test the water and adjust chemical levels to keep your pool water clear and safe.

Choosing the weekly maintenance plan means you can enjoy your pool without worrying about the details of upkeep. Our team takes care of everything, ensuring your pool remains in top condition all year round.

The Bi-Weekly Maintenance Plan: A Partnership Approach

For those who are comfortable with some hands-on involvement, our bi-weekly maintenance plan might be the perfect fit. With this plan, our technicians visit your pool every two weeks to provide essential maintenance services. Between our visits, some tasks will need your attention:

• Chemical Checks and Adjustments: Check the chemical levels and add necessary chemicals to maintain water quality. We provide guidance on how to do this safely and effectively.
• Emptying the Skimmer Basket: Regularly emptying the skimmer basket helps keep your pool clean and ensures the filtration system works efficiently.

The bi-weekly maintenance plan is ideal for pool owners who have some knowledge about pool maintenance and are willing to take an active role. It’s a balanced approach combining professional expertise with your involvement.

Which Plan is Right for You?

Deciding between weekly and bi-weekly maintenance depends on your comfort level and availability to perform minor tasks. If you prefer to leave everything to the professionals, the weekly plan offers complete peace of mind. If you enjoy being hands-on and have some experience, the bi-weekly plan is a cost-effective way to maintain your pool with a bit of personal involvement.

At Evo Pool Service, we’re committed to helping you keep your pool in the best possible condition. Whichever plan you choose, you can count on our expertise and dedication. Contact us today to discuss your pool maintenance needs and find the perfect plan for you.

Owning a pool is a wonderful luxury, but pools can also be energy-intensive, leading to high utility bills. At Evo Pool Service, we believe in helping you maximize your pool’s energy efficiency. Here are some effective strategies to reduce your pool’s energy consumption and save money.

Use a Pool Cover

One of the simplest and most effective ways to enhance your pool’s energy efficiency is by using a pool cover. Here’s how a pool cover helps:

• Reduce Heat Loss: A cover helps retain heat, especially during cool nights, reducing the need for additional heating.
• Minimize Evaporation: It significantly cuts down on water evaporation, saving both water and the energy needed to reheat it.
• Keep Debris Out: A cover keeps debris out of your pool, which means your filtration system doesn’t have to work as hard, saving energy.

Upgrade to an Energy-Efficient Pool Pump

Traditional single-speed pool pumps are major energy consumers. Switching to a variable-speed or multi-speed pool pump can lead to substantial energy savings. These pumps operate at lower speeds when full power isn’t needed, making them much more energy-efficient.

Optimize Your Pool’s Heating System

Heating your pool can be one of the most energy-intensive aspects of pool ownership. Consider these options to improve efficiency:

• Solar Pool Heaters: These use the sun’s energy to heat your pool. While the initial cost is higher, solar heaters can drastically cut your energy bills in the long run.
• Heat Pumps: More efficient than traditional electric or gas heaters, heat pumps extract heat from the air and transfer it to your pool water.

Regular Maintenance and Cleaning

Keeping your pool and its equipment well-maintained ensures they operate efficiently:

• Clean the Filter: A clean filter works more efficiently, reducing the strain on your pump.
• Check for Leaks: Small leaks can lead to significant energy loss. Regularly inspect and promptly repair any leaks.
• Balance Chemicals: Proper chemical balance helps your equipment run smoothly and last longer.

Switch to LED Pool Lighting

LED lights consume less power, last longer, and provide brighter illumination compared to traditional incandescent lights. Upgrading to LED lighting is a simple way to improve your pool’s energy efficiency.

Optimize Pump and Filtration Schedules

Running your pool pump and filtration system during off-peak hours when energy demand and costs are lower can save money. Additionally, running the pump for shorter, more efficient cycles instead of continuously can maintain water quality while reducing energy use.

Invest in Automation Systems

Pool automation systems allow you to control pumps, heaters, and lighting remotely. This ensures that your pool systems run only when necessary, avoiding unnecessary energy use and optimizing efficiency.

Conclusion

Enhancing the energy efficiency of your pool not only reduces your utility bills but also contributes to a more sustainable environment. By implementing these strategies, you can enjoy a warm, clean, and well-lit pool while minimizing your energy consumption.
