When DIY isn't enough

Keeping a pool clear takes more than skimming leaves. Here are five signs it's time for a professional.

1. Persistent cloudy water

If the water stays hazy after you balance it, the filtration or chemistry needs a closer look.

2. Algae that keeps coming back

  • Green tinge on the walls
  • Slippery surfaces
  • A musty smell

These point to a chemistry imbalance.

3. Equipment noise

A grinding pump is a warning sign. Catch it early to avoid a costly replacement.
