Services
Weekly Pool Cleaning
Our weekly cleaning service ensures optimal pool condition through comprehensive debris removal, filter backwashing, and equipment inspection. Using the WaterLink Spin Touch photometer, we maintain precise chemical levels while performing wall brushing, tile cleaning, and automatic cleaner maintenance. This proactive approach prevents algae growth and equipment damage while maintaining swim-ready conditions.
Chemical Balancing
We employ advanced photometric testing to monitor 13 chemical parameters including pH, chlorine, and calcium hardness. Our system provides real-time data tracking and automatic adjustments, preventing water cloudiness and equipment corrosion. This scientific approach ensures swimmer safety while extending pool lifespan through precise chemical management.
Filter Cleaning
Professional filter maintenance services include pressure monitoring, cartridge cleaning, and DE filter servicing. We recommend bi-annual deep cleanings to maintain optimal filtration efficiency, preventing debris accumulation and reducing strain on pool equipment through systematic pressure gauge checks and component inspections.
Pool Start-up Services
Our 5-7 day start-up process includes calcium carbonate removal, initial chemical balancing, and equipment calibration for new or replastered pools. We provide ongoing pH monitoring during the critical curing phase and offer maintenance guidance to ensure proper water chemistry during the pool's first operational cycle.
Green-to-Clean Treatment
Specialized treatment for algae-infested pools combines chemical correction with mechanical cleaning. Our technicians implement a proven process to restore water clarity, including pH adjustment, targeted algaecide application, and thorough filtration system cleaning to eliminate persistent green water issues.

Rick and Ivory usually come out and they do an amazing job. With our pump and system being down for so long they have some how managed to keep the crystal clear. Excellent service, good price, and their quality is top notch!

Finally quality pool service I can trust.
Rick and his team have provided excellent pool service. After years taking care of my pool myself, about 6 years ago, I started hiring companies to maintain my pool so I could focus on a family members healthcare. Every company let me down, anywhere from 6 weeks to 6 months the truth would surface. Not easy to find a reputable pool service company.
I've been with Red-E-2-Swim almost a year now and not once has this company let me down. Take the plunge, you'll be glad you did!
