5 Signs Your Pool Needs Professional Service

Let Tampa Bay’s Most Trusted Pool Maintenance Company Help You Spot Trouble Before It Spoils Your Swim 

We get it—owning a pool in Tampa Bay is one of life’s luxuries. But let’s be real: That water doesn’t stay clean on its own. Between our hot, humid weather and year-round swim season, your pool works overtime, and sometimes, it needs a little help.

At Edge Pools, we’re not just here for weekly maintenance. We’re here when things get weird, green, cloudy, or noisy. So if you’re seeing (or hearing) signs that something’s off, don’t ignore them: Maintenance will save you money down the road. 

Here are five reasons it might be time to call in the pros to service your pool.

1.  The Water Is Cloudy, Green, or Just Plain Gross.

If your pool looks more like a swamp than a spot to cool off, it’s time to do more than toss in a chlorine tab. Cloudy or green water usually indicates that your chemicals are out of balance, and if it persists even after shocking the pool, something more serious may be at play.

Let us take a look. We’ll test everything, make the necessary adjustments, and get your pool back to its clear, blue sparkle that invites you and your family back in for a relaxing dip.

2. Your Pool Has Algae That’s Making Itself at Home.

Algae grows fast in this heat, and once it shows up, it doesn’t like to leave quietly. Green slime, yellow patches, or black spots that won’t scrub off are all signs that algae has moved in—and your pool’s sanitizer is losing the battle.

Whether it’s a light bloom or a full-blown invasion, Edge Pools knows how to treat it at the source and prevent it from coming back. We’re dedicated not only to protecting your pool’s health but also to keeping your pool a safe and fun place, free from health risks. 

3. You’re Guessing at Your Pool Chemistry.

Balancing pool chemicals isn’t as simple as it looks. If you’re winging it with test strips and crossing your fingers, chances are your water isn’t as balanced as it should be. And when things are off, it doesn’t just affect the water—it can damage your equipment and eat away at your pool surface.

That’s where we come in. Our weekly maintenance service takes the guesswork off your plate. We bring the right tools, the right knowledge, and the right attitude to keep your water dialed in and your pool healthy.

4. Your Equipment Is Acting Up.

If your pump is squealing, gurgling, or just not turning on, don’t ignore it. Strange sounds or sluggish equipment typically indicate that something is clogged, worn out, or nearing failure.

Our technicians are trained to identify issues early, before they escalate into major repairs. We’ll take a look, explain what’s happening, answer any questions, and give you honest advice on next steps.

5. You’re Simply Over It.

Between work, kids, pets, errands, and life in general, pool care might be one more thing you just don’t have time for. And we don’t blame you. Pool ownership should be fun and not another chore.

If your filter’s overdue for a clean, your chemical bin is empty, and you’re Googling “how to fix cloudy pool water” more than you’d like to admit… it might be time to pass the baton.
