How is my weekly pool service visit scheduled?

Pools are scheduled for certain day of the week and are generally serviced around the same time of day each week. Depending on weather, illness, or other unforeseeable events, the service day for your pool may be pushed back to the next day and you will be notified. If you are having an event or party at your house, we do our best to adjust your service date for that week so your pool will be in tip-top condition for your guests!
