Pools typically require weekly maintenance to keep water clean, balanced, and equipment functioning properly. Some swimming pools will require maintenance bi-weekly. Ongoing care helps protect your investment and keeps your pool looking its best year-round.

Both saltwater and standard pools use chlorine to keep water clean and safe. The difference is how it’s added: saltwater pools create chlorine automatically from salt, keeping levels steady and water feeling soft on skin and eyes. Standard pools use manually added chlorine, giving you full control over dosing. Both types are effective, it is just a matter of preference.

The location of your pool equipment will be determined by a combination of city regulations, performance factors, and site conditions. For especially challenging spaces, we often construct underground vaults to hide pool equipment, keeping your backyard uncluttered and beautiful. On compact South Bay lots, this solution works especially well, and we’ve become experts at designing and installing them so everything stays accessible for maintenance.

After construction, the pool goes through a 28 day start-up process to balance the water and ensure proper curing time for the interior finish. It is important to refrain from swimming and heating during this time.

Most pools don’t need to be fully drained often. With regular maintenance, water can stay balanced for years, just topping off as needed. We recommend following your pool technician's guidance.
