Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have my pool professionally cleaned?
It varies! During summer, frequent swimming brings in more bacteria and chemicals (from sunscreen) and reduces water quality much faster. We recommend having your pool professionally cleaned at least once a fortnight for optimal water quality and to allow us to monitor your water flow, debris build-up and equipment to identify maintenance requirements before they become failures. During the off-season, we are happy to work within your budget. We’ll assess how often your pool needs to be cleaned, depending on factors like whether you plan to swim or cover in the cooler months.
How long does a professional pool clean take?
The duration of a professional pool cleaning depends on the size and condition of your pool. Generally, a standard clean can take around an hour. More extensive issues or first-time cleans may take longer. Just ask your friendly technician for a rough estimate when you’re booking in!
Do I need to be home during the pool cleaning service?
Nope! As long as our technicians can access your pool area, they’ll have everything they need. However, if you have specific instructions (like a gate combination or key lock location), or concerns, it’s helpful to be available or leave detailed notes.
Do you provide chemicals and equipment?
We sure do! Our regular pool cleaning is a complete solution- we bring everything we need to test, balance, treat and service your pool.
What should I do to prepare for a professional pool cleaning?
We ask that you ensure that the pool area is accessible and free from obstacles. It’s also a good idea to remove any floaties and toys from the pool and surrounding area. If you have pets (particularly those that like swimming or escaping), please secure them for our visit.
Can you help with pool equipment repairs?
Yes, we also offer equipment maintenance and repair. During routine cleanings, our technicians will identify potential issues and fix them on the spot or schedule a follow-up visit for more extensive repairs. We’ll call you if we find any problems and include all the information in your report.
How do you ensure the pool water is safe and properly balanced?
Our professional technicians use industry-standard testing kits to check the pool water's chlorine, pH, alkalinity, and other chemical levels. Based on the results, they will add the necessary chemicals to balance the water, ensuring it’s safe for swimming.
What happens if it rains on my scheduled cleaning day?
A light shower is usually okay and won’t affect the cleaning process; our technicians will proceed as scheduled. In the event of heavy rain or severe weather, we may need to reschedule for safety reasons. We will let you know as soon as possible and arrange an alternative appointment to suit your schedule.
Why should I choose professional pool cleaning over DIY?
A qualified, experienced technician like our team at Handy Pools can guarantee consistent, thorough maintenance that will save you time, reduce the risk of costly mistakes, and keep your pool in optimal condition. We work with pools every day and can spot maintenance and equipment issues early, preventing major problems and extending the life of your pool and equipment.
What if I don’t want to get my pool regularly cleaned, but I’m not ready to go it alone?
If you're happy to do the hard yards with your pool cleaning but not sure what to do, perhaps a test and balance, chemical delivery, swimming pool audit, or training session are for you. Contact us and we can help determine the best service for your needs.
Does your work come with a guarantee?
Absolutely! We want you to be completely happy with our services. If you’re not satisfied with the job we've done, just let us know, and we’ll make it right. We stand behind the work we do. Your pool's cleanliness, safety, equipment and enjoyment are our top priorities, and we’re here to ensure you get the best service possible.
What is your cancellation policy?
Life happens; we get it. We’ll remind you of your upcoming service in advance, but you’ll need to give us 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or change your scheduled cleaning. We’ll do our best to accommodate your schedule and find a time that works.
