Restoring a green pool often involves a professional chemical “shock,” algaecide treatment, and deep filter cleaning to kill resistant algae blooms. PoolWorks provides rapid recovery services to restore your water to a safe, sparkling blue in as little as 24–48 hours after treatment.

If your pump is making a loud grinding noise or your heater isn’t reaching temperature, you need professional pool equipment repair. PoolWorks specializes in diagnosing and repairing variable-speed pumps, gas heaters, and salt cells. We service all major brands, including Hayward, Pentair, and Jandy, to ensure your system runs efficiently.

Many homeowners are switching to saltwater for softer water and fewer chemical odors. A saltwater pool conversion involves installing a salt cell generator that creates natural chlorine. This reduces skin irritation and eliminates the need to store heavy buckets of chlorine. We can assess your current system and handle the full installation.

Cloudy pool water can have several causes: a failing filter, an improper pH balance, or high Calcium Hardness. If your chemicals are balanced but the water is still dull, your sand or DE filter may need a professional deep clean or media replacement to catch fine particles again.

Yes! Pool automation installation allows you to control your pump, heater, and lighting directly from your smartphone. We can retrofit older pools with modern automation systems, letting you turn on the spa or adjust the temperature before you even get home.

For optimal performance, most filters require light maintenance every couple of weeks and a deep cleaning every 3 to 6 months. Neglecting this leads to poor circulation and dirty water. Our filter cleaning service includes a full breakdown, inspection of the internals (such as grids or cartridges), and a deep chemical soak to remove oils and minerals.

A weekly pool-cleaning service pays for itself by preventing costly repairs and liner damage caused by chemical imbalances. Beyond just skimming leaves, our techs monitor chemical levels like Cyanuric Acid and Calcium, ensuring your equipment lasts longer and your family stays safe.
