Professional Pool Service
Nevergreen Pools offers weekly pool service in Folsom, CA: water testing, skimming, chemical dosing, and equipment checks on the same day every week.
Nevergreen Pools provides weekly pool service in Folsom, covering water testing and chemical dosing, skimming, brushing, vacuuming, basket cleanout, filter pressure checks, and a visual check of the pump, heater, and valves on every visit.
Call us if the water turns cloudy or green within a few days of a hot spell, if the tile line keeps growing a ring of scale no matter how often it gets wiped down, if the pump has started humming without priming, if the water level is dropping faster than a 100 degree day explains, if oak debris is filling the skimmer baskets between visits, if the plaster feels rough or chalky underfoot, or if the filter pressure climbs back up within days of a cleaning.
Nevergreen Pools is a licensed pool company based in Shingle Springs serving the Sacramento region. Call to set a weekly visit on the calendar, or book your first appointment online.
By June, Folsom's highs push into the high 90s and climb toward 105 through September, and at that heat chlorine burns off within a day or two, so a pool on a biweekly schedule is running on empty water chemistry more often than not. That's the gap weekly service is built to close. The first visit starts with a full water test against the city supply, which draws from Folsom Lake and runs soft, low in calcium and low in alkalinity. That combination lets pH drift fast, and if calcium hardness and alkalinity aren't corrected and held, it etches plaster and corrodes heater exchangers over time. We also check the finish for etching or scale, look over the pump, filter, and heater, and note whether the equipment is original to the house or already replaced, since a lot of pools built in the 1980s and 1990s are still running their first single-speed pump and an aging sand or DE filter. Newer builds south of Highway 50 are more often pebble finish with variable-speed pumps, cartridge filters, and salt systems, which changes what we check and how we dose.
After that, the same tech comes on the same day every week. We test and dose based on that day's reading rather than a fixed amount, since demand changes with heat, bather load, and rain. Oak leaves and spring pollen load up skimmer baskets and filters fast, so basket checks and filter pressure get watched closely in fall and spring. Filter cleaning is scheduled off the pressure gauge, not the calendar, because pulling a filter apart before it needs it wastes time and media life.
Spring start-up and fall slowdown both get handled as part of the same service, since most pools here run May through October. In spring we bring chemistry back into range after winter and check for anything that sat idle too long. In fall we adjust the schedule as bather load drops and oak leaves pick up, so the pool goes into winter balanced instead of neglected.
When a pool is still running its original single-speed pump or an aging sand or DE filter, we flag it rather than letting it run until it fails outright. A single-speed pump pushes water at one speed around the clock, which costs more to run and wears bearings faster than a variable-speed unit that can be set to a lower speed for normal filtration and a higher one only when vacuuming or running a cleaner. An aging sand or DE filter that has lost pressure or cracked its lateral assembly will not always show on sight, it shows up as pressure that will not come down after a proper backwash or a cleaning that does not bring flow back. On salt systems in the newer subdivisions, we check the cell for scale buildup, since the water here still carries enough calcium to coat a cell over time even though it runs soft overall. Any repair or replacement gets written up with what we found and what it costs before any work starts.
A pool on weekly service holds clear water and steady chemistry instead of swinging between overdosed and flat. The plaster or pebble finish stays smooth instead of etching or scaling, the heater exchanger lasts longer because the water isn't corroding it, and the filter and pump run at the pressure and output they're supposed to instead of struggling under a backlog of debris. Skip weeks or stretch to a biweekly schedule in peak summer heat and the gaps show up fast: chlorine drops to zero before the next visit, algae gets a foothold, and scale starts building on the tile line and plaster faster than it can be corrected. By the time it's visible, it usually costs more to fix than it would have cost to maintain.
