What's Included in Our Weekly Pool Cleaning Service

A lot of pool companies call it "weekly service" but show up every 10 days and only skim the top. That's not how we work. Every visit from The Pool Police includes a full-service checklist — not a partial one.

Here's exactly what we do on every weekly visit:

  • Skim the surface — leaves, bugs, debris, and anything else floating on top
  • Brush walls and steps — algae starts on surfaces before it turns your water green; we scrub it before it becomes a problem
  • Vacuum the pool floor — manual or automatic depending on debris load
  • Empty skimmer and pump baskets — a clogged basket strains your equipment and cuts circulation
  • Test and balance water chemistry — pH, chlorine, alkalinity, and stabilizer levels checked and adjusted every visit
  • Check water level — Austin summers mean heavy evaporation; we top off as needed
  • Inspect equipment — pump, filter, heater, and valves get a visual check so we catch small problems before they become expensive ones
  • Log service notes — every visit is documented so you have a record of what was done and what we found
  • We also include a monthly filter cleaning as part of ongoing weekly service plans. Most competitors charge extra for this. We don't.

    How Our Weekly Pool Service Works

    Getting started is simple. Here's what to expect from day one:

  • Request a free quote — Call us or fill out our online form. We'll ask a few basic questions: pool size, surface type (plaster, pebble, vinyl), equipment setup, and whether you're having any current issues.
  • Initial assessment visit — Before we put you on a weekly schedule, we do a full startup inspection. We test your water, check your equipment, and identify anything that needs attention. If your pool needs a chemical correction or equipment repair before regular service begins, we'll tell you upfront.
  • We assign you a consistent technician — You'll get the same person each week, not a rotating crew of strangers. They'll learn your pool's quirks and catch problems faster because of it.
  • Weekly visits on a set day — We'll confirm your service day. You don't need to be home. We handle everything and leave a service report so you know exactly what happened.
  • Real-time communication — If we find something that needs repair — a failing pump motor, a cracked return fitting, a leaking valve — we contact you the same day with a clear explanation and a quote before we do anything.

    What Does Weekly Pool Cleaning Cost in Austin?

    Most Austin homeowners pay between $150 and $250 per month for weekly pool service. Where you land in that range depends on a few factors:

    FactorEffect on Price
    Pool size (under 15,000 vs. over 30,000 gallons)Larger pools cost more to service and chemically balance
    Surface typePebble and plaster surfaces need more brushing than vinyl
    Current water conditionSeverely imbalanced or green pools require extra chemicals upfront
    Equipment complexityPools with automation systems, heaters, or multiple features take more time
    Location within AustinHomes farther from Lakeway may have a slight travel adjustment

    What's NOT Included in the Monthly Rate

    We believe in transparent pricing, so here's what would be billed separately if needed:

    These are separate services — and we offer all of them — but they're not hidden inside your monthly rate, which means you're not paying for services you don't use.

    Why Austin Pool Owners Choose The Pool Police

    1. We Actually Show Up — Every Week

    This sounds like a low bar, but in the Austin pool service market, unreliable technicians are the number one complaint. We schedule consistently, communicate proactively, and you'll never have to wonder if your pool was serviced this week.

    2. We Treat Chemical Balancing Like a Science, Not a Guess

    Pool chemical balancing in Austin isn't simple. Central Texas water is notoriously hard, with high calcium and mineral content that throws off pH and damages equipment over time. Our technicians test six water parameters per visit — not just chlorine — and make precise adjustments rather than dumping chemicals and hoping for the best. We also use a digital water analysis log so we can track trends in your pool over time.

    3. We Offer More Than Just Cleaning

    The Pool Police handles the full picture: pool equipment repair, pool leak detection, filter cleaning, vacation pool service, party prep and cleanup, and pool inspections. When something goes wrong — and eventually something always does — you call one company, not three.

    4. Local and Accountable

    We're based in Lakeway, TX, right in the heart of the Austin Hill Country. We're not a national franchise with a call center in another state. When you call us, you talk to someone who knows your neighborhood, understands Austin's climate, and will be back at your pool next week.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How often should a pool be professionally cleaned in Austin?

    For most Austin pools, weekly service is the right call. Our summers are long, hot, and brutal — UV exposure burns through chlorine fast, and debris from cedar, oak, and pecan trees hits pools hard from spring through fall. Bi-weekly service can work in winter (November through February) when pools are used less, but during swim season, weekly cleaning is the only way to keep water consistently safe and clear.

    Do I need to be home during the pool service visit?

    No. Most of our customers aren't home when we visit. As long as we have gate access, we take care of everything. After each visit, we leave a service report — and we'll call or text you directly if we find something that needs your attention or approval before we proceed.

    What if my pool turns green between visits?

    Green water is almost always a chemistry problem, not a cleaning failure. If your pool turns green between weekly visits, it usually means something knocked the chemical balance off — heavy rain diluting chlorine, an unusually hot stretch burning through stabilizer, or a large pool party adding organic load. We'll come out, assess what happened, and perform an algae treatment. We'll also review your chemistry logs to figure out why it happened and adjust your service plan if needed.

    Can you repair pool equipment, or just clean?

    We do both. The Pool Police offers full pool equipment repair in Austin — pumps, motors, filters, heaters, automation systems, and more. We also provide pool leak detection service if you're seeing unexplained water loss. Having a single company handle cleaning and repairs means nothing falls through the cracks.

    What is vacation pool service, and do you offer it in Austin?

    Yes. If you're leaving town for more than a week, a vacation pool service visit (or two, depending on trip length) keeps your water from going south while you're gone. We check chemistry, clean the pool, and make sure your equipment is running properly. It's peace of mind that you won't come home to a swamp.

    How do I get started with weekly pool service?

    Call us or use our online quote request form. We'll gather basic information about your pool, schedule an initial assessment visit, and get you on a weekly service route — usually within one to two weeks of your first call.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How often should a pool be professionally cleaned in Austin?

    For most Austin pools, weekly service is the right call. Long, hot summers burn through chlorine fast, and heavy tree debris from cedar, oak, and pecan trees adds up quickly. Weekly cleaning keeps water consistently safe and clear during swim season. Bi-weekly service may be sufficient in winter months when pools are used less.

    Do I need to be home during the pool service visit?

    No. Most customers aren't home when we visit. As long as we have gate access, we handle everything and leave a service report. If we find something that needs your attention or approval before we act, we'll contact you the same day.

    What if my pool turns green between weekly visits?

    Green water is almost always a chemistry issue — heavy rain, high heat, or a large pool party can knock chlorine and pH out of range quickly. We'll come out, assess the situation, perform an algae treatment, and review your chemistry logs to adjust your service plan and prevent it from happening again.

    Can you repair pool equipment, or just clean?

    We do both. The Pool Police offers full pool equipment repair — pumps, motors, filters, heaters, and automation systems — plus pool leak detection service. Having one company handle cleaning and repairs means nothing gets missed.

    What is vacation pool service, and do you offer it in Austin?

    Yes. If you're leaving town for more than a week, a vacation pool service visit keeps your water balanced and your equipment running while you're away. You won't come home to a green, neglected pool.

    How do I get started with weekly pool service?

    Call us or fill out our online quote request. We'll ask about your pool size, surface type, and current condition, then schedule an initial assessment visit. Most customers are on a weekly service route within one to two weeks of their first call.
