What to do this week about pool chlorine problems

  2. Step 2. Test free vs total chlorine if you can—or call for a pro test.
  3. Step 3. Run the filter after a proper shock plan.

How professional Summerlin pool service helps

A solid weekly pool service visit is more than a quick skim. Your tech should brush, empty baskets, test the water properly, balance chemicals for the week ahead, and glance at the equipment pad.

If the water has already turned, you may need pool equipment repair. If the pump, filter, or salt system is the weak link, infinity edge pool care comes first—chemicals cannot fix a system that will not circulate.
