Weekly pool service in Delray Beach
Lake Ida to Tropic Isle, beachside to the Avenue. Delray is where this business started, which means it's the town we can reach fastest when something goes wrong.
Older pools, a lot of them empty half the year
Delray pools skew older and smaller than the county average, and plenty of them sit on lots where the house went up in the fifties and the pool was added later. Tropic Isle and the beachside streets are close enough to the water that salt air is part of the maintenance picture.
A meaningful share of Delray homes are second homes, and that changes the job. A pool nobody is looking at for four months doesn't forgive a missed week, and it's exactly the situation where a service report earns its keep. You're reading it from Connecticut in February, and it's the only evidence you have that anyone is showing up. We treat seasonal accounts as full accounts, not as a reduced service that gets picked back up when you land.

Free chlorine · last six visits
Target 2.0–4.0 ppm| 7 Jul | 2.4 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

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| 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| 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 Delray pools need
Seasonal and absentee homes
Off-season is when a neglected pool turns. Seasonal pools stay on full weekly service and get the same report whether you're in town or not, so there's no surprise waiting in November.
Older surfaces
A lot of Delray pools are on marcite that's been patched more than once. Rough spots hold algae no matter how good the chemistry is, so we tell you when brushing has stopped being the answer.
Salt air, beachside
East of the Intracoastal, heaters and pumps corrode faster than the manual suggests. We check the pad for it rather than waiting for a failure in July.
What it costs
Delray pools skew smaller and older than the county average, which puts a lot of them at the lower end of our range.
Weekly plans start at $129 a month. If your pool is a second home we'll also talk about what the off-season looks like, because that's where the price difference between companies usually shows up.
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.
Pool service in Delray Beach
We're only here part of the year. Can you service the pool while we're away?
That's a large part of what we do in Delray. Seasonal pools stay on full weekly service, not a reduced plan, and you get the same report every week whether you're in town or not.
Our pool is beachside. Does that change anything?
It changes the equipment more than the water. East of the Intracoastal, heaters and pump housings corrode faster than the manual suggests, so we check the pad every visit.
