5 Signs Your Pool Needs Professional Maintenance (Before It’s Too Late)
Having a pool at home is one of the great luxuries of living in Florida. However, what should be an oasis of relaxation can quickly turn into a source of stress if it’s not properly maintained.
Many homeowners try to handle pool maintenance on their own, but between work, family, and Florida’s unpredictable weather, water care often gets pushed aside. So how do you know when it’s time to put down the skimmer and call the experts?
At Pro Quality Pools, we’ve seen it all. Here are 5 clear signs that your pool needs professional maintenance—right away.
1. The water is cloudy or turning green
This is the most obvious sign. If you can no longer see the bottom of your pool clearly or notice a greenish tint on the walls, you’re likely dealing with algae or filtration issues.
Restoring a green pool (“Green-to-Clean”) isn’t as simple as adding chlorine. It requires precise chemical balance and a fully functional filtration system. Using the wrong amounts can damage your pool’s surface or irritate your family’s skin.
2. Your eyes burn or your skin feels irritated after swimming
Do you leave the pool with red eyes or dry, itchy skin? Contrary to popular belief, this doesn’t always mean there’s “too much chlorine.” More often, it’s a sign of unbalanced pH levels or excess chloramines (used-up or “dead” chlorine).
Water chemistry is a science. At Pro Quality Pools, our technicians perform accurate water testing on every visit to ensure your pool is safe, clean, and gentle on your skin.
3. The pump or filter is making strange noises
Your pool equipment should hum smoothly—not sound like a lawn mower. Loud noises, squeaking, or excessive vibrations often indicate a struggling motor, a clogged basket, or air trapped in the system.
Ignoring these sounds can lead to expensive repairs. Our weekly maintenance service includes full equipment inspections, allowing us to catch and prevent issues before they turn into costly emergencies.
4. You spend more time cleaning than swimming
Let’s be honest—your free time is valuable. If you’re spending Saturday mornings skimming, vacuuming, and testing chemicals instead of enjoying your pool with family, something isn’t right.
Hiring a professional service gives you your time back. We handle the dirty work so you can focus on enjoying your pool.
5. The water level drops faster than normal
Some evaporation is normal under the Florida sun. But if you’re refilling your pool more often than usual, you may have a hidden leak. Professionals don’t just clean—we’re trained to spot structural issues and abnormal water loss that an untrained eye might miss.
