Weekly pool service in Lantana
Old Florida cottages off Ocean Avenue and waterfront homes on the Intracoastal. A small town holding two quite different kinds of pool.
Two housing stocks, one small town
Lantana still has a good number of small mid-century pools behind original cottages, and alongside them a set of substantially larger waterfront properties. The two need different things and it would be easy to treat them the same.
The waterfront pools deal with salt and wind off the Intracoastal, which pushes chemistry around between visits and works on the equipment. The older inland cottages have smaller pools with older surfaces, where the honest conversation is usually about how much life is left in the plaster. We quote both on what they are rather than on the zip code they share.

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 Lantana pools need
Waterfront exposure
Salt and wind off the Intracoastal move chemistry between visits and shorten equipment life. Those pools get tested tighter and the pad gets checked every week.
Older inland surfaces
The cottage pools are small and often original. Worth being honest about what plaster has left in it before spending a year on chemicals.
A short drive from Delray and Boynton
Lantana sits between two of our busiest areas, which means midweek problems usually get seen quickly.
What it costs
Lantana spans a wide range for a town this size. A small cottage pool inland and a large waterfront pool are not close to the same monthly rate.
Weekly plans start at $129 a month. Tell us roughly where the house sits and we can usually narrow it down on the phone.
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 Lantana
Do you service the waterfront properties?
Yes. Those pools take salt and wind off the Intracoastal, so they get tighter testing and a weekly look at the equipment pad.
My pool is small and quite old. Is it worth putting on a plan?
Usually, yes. What we will be straight about is whether the surface has reached the point where resurfacing rather than chemistry is the real answer.
