But what do these companies do?
Depending on what time of year it is, the duties of a McKinney TX pool maintenance company can vary widely.
Spring
This is the time Allied Aquatics is focused on opening pools for the upcoming swim season. typical services are removing pool covers, cleaning and skimming the pools, checking pumps and other pool equipment to ensure they are in proper working order, balancing chemicals to ensure water safety, and talking to pool owners about any safety issues they may find.
Summer
Summer is the busiest season for a pool maintenance company. Checking chemical levels, skimming debris, ensuring pool water is safe to swim in are only a few of their summer services.
Fall
When the weather begins to cool, pool maintenance techs perform the same duties as in Spring, but in reverse. Now it is time to ensure pools are properly closed, inspect covers and make suggestions for new equipment when needed, adding chemicals to the water to help prevent algae growth during the offseason, and cover equipment to protect it during the winter months.
Winter
Many pool service companies also service commercial indoor pools which is a year-round gig. Others use the offseason to build their business with activities including building new pools, updating pool decks, remodeling existing pools to the customer’s taste, and installing safety equipment including perimeter fences, handrails and more.
