How to Select a Swimming Pool Service

Finding a swimming pool service that can meet your needs can be an overwhelming task. However, it is essential to find someone that is not only qualified, but listens to you and can address your needs. To make sure your pool service can deliver what you need, here are 5 tips to consider:

1. Experience - How long has the technician been servicing swimming pools? Has he/she been TRAINED in water chemistry? Are they CPO certified? Do they understand what unbalanced water can do to you, your pool and pool equipment?

2. Credentials - Choose a Swimming Pool Service who belongs to trade organizations like the International Pool Service and Spa Association (IPPSA) and the National Swimming Pool Foundation (NSPF). These affiliations are a sign of formal training and of adherence to general standards of professionalism. Make sure the companies Technicians are Certified Pool Operators (CPO)

3. Credibility - Select someone that has a solid and quality reputation in the industry. Call your local pool supply stores. Ask if anyone has heard of this company? Have they used them before? Did they deliver what they promised? How did they handle problems and warranty issues?

4. Testimonials - Request that the Swimming Pool Service provide you with references from past clients. If he or she declines, or if you're offered just one or two,you should inquire as to why you cannot have a broad(er) sample. Whether there have been bad experiences or no experiences (due to inexperience) in the past, there could be something that is not quite on the level. Do some research on the Web and see if you find any comments about this company.

5. Services - Does this company offer the services you need? Don't be talked into a service you don't need or sold on good you won't use.
