Some pool service tricks you may not know
Skipped pool cleaning If your swimming pool
maintenance company has too many clients there
are chances that the technicians have too much in
their hands they are likely to skip your pool.
There are technicians who will skip one pool here
and there so as to make up for lost time. This
normally happens with companies that are still
growing and they dont have enough employees. Any
time you have reason to think that your weekly
pool maintenance was skipped, you need to ask the
assigned service technician for a drop ticket
ask them to leave it at your door with details of
the time they came, condition of the pool and the
chemicals they used.

Some pool service tricks you may not know
National or local pool service Some homeowners
almost always trust the large national swimming
pool service companies their main challenge is
huge turnover rates and as a result, some of them
will end up hiring inexperienced technicians to
deal with huge orders. Swimming pool technicians
double up as engineers, chemists and plumbers and
in some cases they even do repairs. Large
companies charge a cheaper monthly pool service
rates and as a result their employees are paid
lower this makes it impossible to retain highly
qualified workers.

Some pool service tricks you may not know
High charges There are unscrupulous residential
pool service companies that normally that charge
high flat rates and in addition to that they will
also bill homeowners for any other chemicals that
they could have used in your pool. However,
majority of pool maintenance companies will
charge a flat rate and it doesnt matter what
amount of chemicals they use. Even though service
charges could increase seasonally or because of
fuel prices, but the bottom line is that you
should be paying flat rates that have been agreed
upon beforehand. The only time charges should
change is when they use a special chemical for
your pool alone.

Some pool service tricks you may not know
Used parts for pool repairs Pool repairs are
perhaps the greatest income earner for swimming
pool service companies. The same way it happens
in some unscrupulous automobile repair shops,
when pool companies have received their parts for
a small amount of money, they are likely to mark
their prices upwards and also charge you for the
time they will have spent working in your
property. While that may be acceptable, the worst
situation is when some dishonest pool repair
technicians will opt to use some old parts
instead of new ones to repair your pool.
Sometimes they will have retrieved these parts
from a different customer it is important that
you always check that you receive the parts that
you pay for.
