Report
Penguin Pool Service is amazing, and very reasonably priced. Our landscaper used a pool construction company that also does pool maintenance, and they did a horrible job keeping the pool clean. Brian cleaned the pool at our prior rental so I contacted him, and not only was he 1/3 cheaper, but he does an amazing job AND he discovered that the installation company never put in the flap on the skimmer - and he put one in for free. He has knows saltwater systems very well, and can explain how things work in terms of all of your valves and system schedules, etc.
