Frequently Asked Questions
1. How much does it cost to get my pool cleaned?
This is one of our most frequently asked questions, and the answer depends on several factors specific to your pool and your needs. We believe in personalized service, so we like to have a conversation with each customer to understand their unique situation. The cost of pool cleaning can vary based on the size of your pool, how often you use it, and the level of service you require. We offer flexible service plans, ranging from one to three visits per week, to accommodate different usage patterns and budgets.
Our weekly pool service is comprehensive and includes checking and adjusting the water chemistry, skimming the pool surface, vacuuming the pool bottom when necessary, brushing the pool walls and tile, emptying all baskets (skimmer and pump), loading chemical feeders, and inspecting all equipment to ensure everything is functioning properly. By tailoring our services to your specific needs, we can ensure your pool remains clean, safe, and ready for use.
2. Do you service saltwater pools?
Yes, we do! At Ripple Effect Pool Service, we provide expert maintenance and cleaning services for both freshwater and saltwater pools. Saltwater pools have become increasingly popular due to their lower chemical usage and softer feel, but they also require specialized care to maintain the correct salt levels and ensure the system is functioning efficiently.

5. How many times a week should I get my pool cleaned?
The frequency of pool cleaning depends on various factors, including the size of your pool, the amount of use it gets, and the surrounding environment. For instance, pools that are heavily used or located near trees and other landscaping may require more frequent cleanings. To determine the best maintenance schedule for your pool, we’ll conduct an on-site evaluation, discuss your needs, and recommend a plan that ensures your pool remains clean, safe, and enjoyable throughout the year. Whether it’s once a week or several times, we’ll find the right balance for you.
6. I do a lot of my own pool maintenance, but I need help managing my pool's chemicals. Can you assist?
Absolutely. We understand that many pool owners prefer to handle the basic cleaning tasks themselves but may need assistance with the more technical aspects of pool care, particularly water chemistry. Balancing your pool’s chemicals is critical to maintaining water quality and protecting your pool’s finish and equipment, as well as your family’s health. We offer flexible services to complement your maintenance routine, coming out on a schedule that works for you to test and adjust the water chemistry, ensuring your pool stays in top condition.
