Frequently Asked Questions

  • How often should I schedule pool maintenance in Louisiana?

    Most residential pools in Louisiana benefit from weekly maintenance due to high heat and humidity, which accelerate algae growth and chemical breakdown. At AquaPros Pool Care, we customize schedules based on pool usage and seasonal demands to keep water consistently clear and balanced.
  • What's included in a typical pool cleaning service?

    A routine cleaning includes debris removal, surface brushing, skimming, and chemical adjustments to maintain safe water balance. This service helps extend equipment lifespan and prevents algae buildup. At AquaPros Pool Care, we tailor each visit to your pool's specific usage and condition.
  • How long does it take to turn a green pool clear?

    Intensive green-to-clean restoration typically takes 3 to 7 days depending on algae severity and pool size. The process involves aggressive chemical correction, filtration, and repeated cleaning. At AquaPros Pool Care, we balance the water properly to help prevent future algae blooms.
  • What causes pool equipment to fail during summer?

    High temperatures and extended run times stress pumps, filters, and heaters, accelerating wear and exposing hidden leaks or clogs. Early detection through regular equipment checks reduces unexpected breakdowns during peak swim season. At AquaPros Pool Care, we inspect systems to catch issues before they become costly repairs.
  • When should I open my pool for the season?

    In Lafayette, pools are often opened in early spring when daytime temperatures consistently reach the mid-70s. Seasonal openings include system checks, cleaning, and chemical balancing to ensure safe, efficient startup. At AquaPros Pool Care, we time openings around Louisiana's weather patterns to minimize startup issues.
  • Can you remodel an older pool to improve efficiency?

    Yes, remodeling can include surface upgrades, modern equipment replacements, and layout changes that enhance both appearance and function. These updates improve safety, reduce operating costs, and increase property value. At AquaPros Pool Care, we manage remodels with minimal disruption to your property.
  • What makes Louisiana pool construction different from other regions?

    Louisiana's clay-heavy soil, high water table, and humid climate require specialized foundation and drainage planning during construction. Pools must be designed to handle ground movement and seasonal moisture. At AquaPros Pool Care, we build with durability and long-term maintenance in mind for local conditions.
  • Do commercial pools need more frequent servicing than residential?

    Yes, commercial pools experience higher bather loads, which increase contaminant levels and chemical demand. Consistent maintenance aligned with operational schedules ensures water quality, safety, and system uptime. At AquaPros Pool Care, we're experienced with multi-user pools and provide reliable scheduling for hotels, apartments, and facilities.
  • What's the biggest mistake homeowners make with pool care?

    Skipping regular chemical testing and balancing leads to algae blooms, equipment corrosion, and costly repairs. Consistent monitoring prevents small issues from escalating. At AquaPros Pool Care, we use high-precision testing to maintain optimal water chemistry between service visits.
  • How does weekly maintenance pricing work when there's a fifth week?

    At AquaPros Pool Care, weekly maintenance is billed at a flat rate, and the fifth week in any month is provided free. This approach simplifies budgeting and rewards consistent service clients. It's one way we support long-term relationships with homeowners and property managers.
  • Why do pool chemicals need to be adjusted so often?

    Sunlight, rainfall, debris, and bather load all alter water chemistry daily, especially in Louisiana's humid climate. Regular adjustments prevent algae, cloudy water, and surface damage. At AquaPros Pool Care, we balance chemicals during each visit to keep water safe and equipment protected.
  • What should I do if my pool filter isn't running properly?

    A poorly performing filter may indicate clogging, air leaks, or motor wear, all of which reduce water clarity and increase chemical use. Early inspection helps restore efficiency and prevent further damage. At AquaPros Pool Care, we check filters, pumps, and controls during routine equipment visits.
