Top 5 Signs Your Pool Needs Professional Service (And How We Can Help!)

Owning a pool is awesome. But like anything worth having, it needs a bit of TLC to keep it in tip-top shape.

While some pool maintenance is easy enough to tackle yourself, there are times when calling in the professionals is the best way to go.

1. Your Pool Looks Like a Science Experiment Gone Wrong

Is your pool water looking a bit suspicious? Maybe it’s green and murky, or there’s an odd smell lingering in the air. Perhaps you’ve noticed some strange stains or build-up around the edges.

These are all signs that something’s not quite right with your pool’s chemistry. While you can try adjusting the chemicals yourself, sometimes it’s best to leave it to the experts to diagnose the problem and get things back on track.

2. Your Filter is Coughing and Sputtering

Your pool filter is the heart of your pool’s circulation system, so when it’s not working properly, you’ll know about it. If you notice strange noises, leaks, or reduced water flow, it’s a good indication that your filter needs some attention.

A professional pool technician can diagnose the issue, repair or replace any faulty parts, and ensure your filter is running smoothly again.

3. Your Pool Equipment is Looking a Bit Tired

Pool pumps, heaters, and chlorinators all have a lifespan. If your equipment is old, inefficient, or constantly breaking down, it might be time for an upgrade. Our team at Dolphin Pools can advise you on the best replacements for your needs and ensure everything is installed correctly.

4. You're Spending More Time Cleaning Than Swimming

Nobody wants to spend their weekends scrubbing algae and vacuuming the pool floor. If you’re finding that pool maintenance is taking over your life, it might be time to consider a professional pool service. They can handle all the dirty work, from cleaning and balancing chemicals to checking equipment and ensuring everything is running smoothly.
