What is included in weekly pool service?
The current weekly-service scope includes skimming, brushing, debris removal, water testing and chemical adjustment, visual circulation and equipment checks, and an After Service Pool Report. Routine chemicals are billed separately for new weekly-service customers, and filter cleaning, repairs, initial cleanup, and other non-routine work are quoted separately.
How often should a pool be professionally cleaned?
Shipwrecked's recurring residential service follows a weekly cadence because regular cleaning, water testing, and circulation observation help limit week-to-week drift. The appropriate plan still depends on the pool's use, weather exposure, condition, and current service needs.
When might more frequent attention be appropriate?
Heavy use, severe weather, unusual debris, algae, changing water condition, or an equipment interruption can create needs beyond a routine weekly visit. We assess the condition and discuss supported corrective work or follow-up rather than promising automatic twice-weekly availability.
How is weekly service different from one-time cleaning?
Weekly service is an ongoing maintenance relationship for routine cleaning, water care, observation, and reporting. A one-time clean addresses an agreed catch-up need, while a green or algae-affected pool may require a separately quoted Green-to-Clean recovery before routine care is appropriate.
Are corrective repairs included in weekly service?
No. We report visible equipment concerns and explain practical next steps, but equipment repairs, filter cleaning, initial cleanup, and other non-routine or corrective work are separately approved and quoted.
What happens when I start or switch to weekly pool service?
We visit your pool on site and confirm technician availability before setting your first service date. If initial cleanup is needed, it is charged as a one-time or green-to-clean service. For new weekly-service customers, routine chemicals are billed separately. After each visit, you receive an After Service Pool Report through Skimmer.
What affects the price of weekly pool service?
A quote depends on the service address and route fit, pool size and features, current water and surface condition, debris exposure, equipment and access conditions, and whether the pool needs separately quoted cleanup, filter work, or repair before routine service begins. We review those factors before confirming the recurring-service price rather than publishing a one-size-fits-all rate.
What should a new pool owner know before weekly service begins?
Share the service address, any available equipment or maintenance information, the pool's current condition, access details, and recent photos when possible. We review the starting condition, explain what belongs in routine weekly care, identify separately quoted corrective needs, confirm route availability, and set expectations for service reports and communication.
