Common Questions About Our Pool Services
What areas do you serve for pool maintenance and cleaning?
Foothill Pool Service is based in Placerville and provides weekly pool service, filter cleaning, and restorative packages in El Dorado Hills, Folsom, Cameron Park, Rescue, and the surrounding foothill neighborhoods.
What is the difference between clear water and healthy pool water?
Clear water can still have unsafe chemical levels. Our focus is on healthy water, which means the chemistry is balanced and safe for families, using science-proven testing to ensure true water health, not just appearance.
Which pool maintenance plans do you offer and what is included?
We offer several weekly service options. All include professional chemical testing and balancing, digital service updates, and two filter cleanings per year at no extra cost, keeping your pool in peak condition.
How do you test and balance pool chemicals for safety?
We use the LaMotte Spintouch for accurate water analysis and the Orenda Calculator for precise dosing. This approach minimizes harsh chemicals and helps ensure safe swimming for children and families.
Can you help if my pool turns green or develops algae?
Yes, our Green to Clean package targets algae, removes debris, balances chemicals, and installs a Pool RX mineral unit for ongoing prevention. We restore even the toughest pools to safe, swim-ready water.
What is included in your filter cleaning service?
Our filter cleaning for non-contract customers includes full cartridge cleaning and a careful inspection of the filter O-ring. For weekly service clients, we provide this service twice a year at no extra charge.
How do I receive updates about my pool’s condition and service?
We provide weekly digital updates through the Skimmer platform. You’ll see exactly what was done, current chemical levels, and the health status of your pool right from your phone or computer.
