Pool Service in Boca Raton, FL

Pools in Boca Raton

Two towns, one city

Boca is really two pool towns. East of Federal the pools are older, mostly open to the sky, and close enough to the ocean that salt gets into everything. West of Military they're newer, almost all screened, and sitting under enough ficus and live oak to fill a basket in three days.

Those two halves need different work. An east Boca pool needs the equipment watched for corrosion and the chemistry held tighter against evaporation and wind. A west Boca screened pool needs the cage tracks and the waterline brushed properly, because the debris that gets past the screen settles in the same corners every week. We run both ends of the city and quote them differently, because pretending they're the same job is how a pool ends up neglected.

Free chlorine · last six visits

Target 2.0–4.0 ppm

Free chlorine by visit
7 Jul	2.4 ppm
14 Jul	1.9 ppm
21 Jul	3.1 ppm
28 Jul	2.6 ppm
4 Aug	2.2 ppm
11 Aug	2.8 ppm

The dip on 14 July was a heavy-use week after the holiday. It recovered on its own by the next visit, so nothing was dosed.

pH level · last six visits

Target 7.2–7.8

pH level by visit
7 Jul	7.6
14 Jul	7.8
21 Jul	7.4
28 Jul	7.3
4 Aug	7.6
11 Aug	7.5

Drifting up is normal on a plaster pool. Small acid doses on 21 and 28 July held it mid-band rather than chasing it from one end to the other.

Alkalinity · last six visits

Target 80–120 ppm

Alkalinity by visit
7 Jul	88 ppm
14 Jul	95 ppm
21 Jul	110 ppm
28 Jul	104 ppm
4 Aug	97 ppm
11 Aug	92 ppm

Alkalinity is what keeps pH from swinging. Holding it near the middle of the band is why the pH line above stays flat.

Cyanuric acid · last six visits

Target 40–80 ppm

Cyanuric acid by visit
7 Jul	58 ppm
14 Jul	56 ppm
21 Jul	54 ppm
28 Jul	52 ppm
4 Aug	49 ppm
11 Aug	61 ppm

Stabilizer is what stops the sun burning off your chlorine. It had drifted down to 49 through splash-out and rain, so 1 lb went in on this visit.

Service checklist

Skimmed, brushed and vacuumed
Skimmer and pump baskets emptied
Filter pressure checked — 14 psi, normal
1 lb stabilizer, 2 tabs added

Note from your technician

“Stabilizer was running low so I brought it back up. Everything else looked good — nothing you need to do.”

What we see here

The three things that go wrong here

Screen cages and debris

West Boca cages trap what blows in and then hold it. Baskets fill faster than owners expect, and a full pump basket is the most common cause of a pool that looks fine while its motor quietly runs hot.

Salt systems

Salt cells are close to standard in Boca now. They need inspecting and cleaning on a schedule or they stop producing chlorine while the panel still reports everything is fine.

HOA rules

Plenty of Boca communities set rules on equipment noise, pump run times and what can sit on the pad. We work inside them rather than finding out when a letter arrives.

Pricing in Boca Raton

What it costs

Boca runs the full range. A compact screened pool in Boca Del Mar and a big open pool east of Federal aren't the same monthly rate, and pretending otherwise is how people end up underserviced.

So we quote the pool, not the zip code. Weekly plans start at $129 a month and move up with size, equipment and how much chemical work the water actually needs.

Prices shown are starting prices for a standard residential pool on a weekly route. Every account is subject to a price quote by a technician or at the point of sale - pool size, surface, equipment, screen enclosure and tree cover all move the number. We quote before we service, and the quote is the price.
