Is it time to hire a pool service contractor
There is no one best time to hire a pool service contractor. It is a personal decision that may have been made from day one or you may have decided now, after having had the pool for some time, that you just want to turn it over to the pros. When you hire a swimming pool service professional, he or she will visit your home at regular intervals — as set up in your contract — will test the water, fill the pool if necessary, clean skimmer baskets, brush and vacuum the pool, inspect pool equipment and more. A pool professional may be able to spot an issue with the pool and if there are leaks or other problems before you might have noticed it.
Ask your friends and family and other pool owners whether they are saving money by hiring a pool contractor and many of them will say that they have. The main reason for the savings is that an experienced pool pro is better versed at getting the chemistry right the first time. An inexperienced pool owner will likely test the water, add one chemical, test the water and find another chemical is out of balance and so on and so on — you spend more money by trying to get the water properly balanced.
Many qualified pool service professionals will pay a service visit to give you an estimate and may clean the pool for free or a discounted price for the first time so you can “try out” the service. If you’re hiring a pool service contractor make sure you get estimates from more than one pro so you can compare apples to apples and make sure you’re getting the best value for your money.
