Regular pool filter cleaning is necessary to ensure that the filter is functioning properly and maintaining a safe and healthy swimming environment.

They did a fantastic job draining my green pool, replacing all equipment, and bringing it back to life.

Response from the owner: Thank you for your 5-star rating, Heather! We appreciate your support and look forward to serving you again.
We recently bought a home with a pool, and having never dealt with a pool before we decided to have Clean Pool Pros send someone out and detail what exactly we were supposed to do.That's when we met Ross, whom turned out to be a blackbelt in pool care and maintenance. We learned so much from him, and he easily fielded all of our questions. We now understand what equipment we have, what it does, how it works, when to ask for help, and where to go to get it.Ross, if you read this, thanks a million for the excellent crash course in pool ownership! And if Ross' boss reads this, please know you have a top-notch employee right there-- any kind of special recognition, bonus, or even a raise for him would be well-spent!Lastly, if you have a pool (or spa), Clean Pool Pros are an outstanding resource to employ!
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for your kind words, Eric! We're extremely happy to hear that Ross was able to provide you with the guidance you needed and helped deepen your understanding of pool care and maintenance. We assure you that we will let Ross know of your satisfied comments about him - he'll be thrilled! Can't wait to serve you again in the future.
I always check for reviews and I’m glad I did. That’s why I went with Clean Pool Pros, Ross and his crew did awesome job. Our pool was green for over two years. They had it drained and clean in no time and we were swimming by the weekend. The pool was stained so we are having it redone And their Tech Sean also fixed all of our plumbing and got the pool equipment up and running💯 I highly recommend them👍
Response from the owner: Thank you for your review, Steve! We're delighted to hear that you had a wonderful experience with Ross and the rest of our crew. We always aim to provide quick and efficient service to our customers. Enjoy your swimming!

I’m currently not a regular customer, but I’ve been having trouble with my main pump not coming on. I’ve been fiddling with it for a couple of weeks now, but with my limited knowledge on the subject, I couldn’t get it to start up. Anyway, on a whim, I yelped pool services open on Saturdays and found this company. What a lifesaver! They came out within an hour or so and got my pump running again. Just like that! I’m amazed that given the current world we live in, that there are still decent people behind big company names that are actually willing to go outside the box and help someone out. I’m so appreciative! This experience has prompted me to reconsider my current pool service company for sure. A little friendly customer service goes a long way. Can I give 10 stars? Thank you so much!
Response from the owner: Beverly, we're thrilled to hear that our team could help you out in a pinch! We appreciate your kind words and are delighted that your experience has prompted you to consider our services on a regular basis. It's experiences like yours that truly inspire us to give our best. Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience.

Response from the owner: Thank you for the positive feedback, Shawneen! We're thrilled that we could help solve your black algae problem when others could not. We're always here if you need us, don't hesitate to reach out.

Response from the owner: Thank you for your kind words, Fred! We're thrilled we could help and provide fantastic service, even on a holiday. We appreciate your support!
Such a wonderful company. I called on Thursday. The service representative came out on Friday. The pool was clear on Saturday. They came back out on Monday to make sure everything was going well. Just in time for a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. I am so grateful for the service and the fact the representative explained everything to me as he went along.
Response from the owner: We're overwhelmed by your kind words, Lisa! We're really glad that we were able to assist you in time for a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. Thank you for mentioning our dedicated service. We keep our clients' satisfaction as our foremost priority and we're happy to hear about your positive experience!
Last month I called Clean Pool Pros for repair of one drain cap at the bottom of my pool, which had broken off. Very quickly, I was speaking with Ross and was happy they provide service in West Sacramento. After sending Ross a picture of my pool, I agreed to have the pool drained. Within the hour, Andrey gave me an estimate, which was very fair. I was scheduled for repair in two days by Austin. He showed up on time, drained the pool (about an hour) and made the repair.Thanks to the amazing service, either thru texts and/or by phone, my pool is ready for summer fun!I absolutely recommend Clean Pool Pros. The team of Ross, Andrey and Austin were highly efficient and professional. I will not hesitate to call them again. They were awesome and I truly appreciate how quickly they took care of my repair.
Response from the owner: Thank you for your wonderful review, Lupe! We're thrilled that you had a great experience with Ross, Andrey, and Austin. We always strive to provide prompt and efficient service to ensure your pool is ready for fun. We look forward to serving any of your future pool needs.
Response from the owner: Thank you for your 5-star rating, John! Your support is greatly appreciated. We hope to continue providing excellent service.

We desperately needed the Green to Clean service and we were provided with amazing service and outcome. Ross’s knowledge of what was happening, what needed to be done and accomplishing that with great results surely sold us on also continuing with the weekly service. Very happy!
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for your kind words, Kellee! We're thrilled to hear that our Green to Clean service lived up to your expectations and that Ross's knowledge and expertise were beneficial to you. We look forward to providing this level of service consistently.
I reached out to Clean Pool Pros because I was experiencing black algae that was out of control. I think I spoke with everyone on the Team so I can feel comfortable with the process and expected results. Ultimately, I chose Clean Pool Pros. Service were performed as communicated, onsite team was great answering questions throughout the process. The work was amazing, restored to lie was when the pool was brand new. Beyond expectations was the follow up from the team and further a technician stopping bye a month later to just double checked everything. Outstanding work. I would highly recommend Clean Pool Pros.
Response from the owner: Thank you very much for your glowing review, Jon & Stephanie! We’re delighted we could help conquer the black algae issue and restore your pool to its pristine condition, and we appreciate your trust in our team. We look forward to supporting your future pool maintenance needs, and thank you for your high recommendation.
I’ve only been working with them for a few weeks. I really liked my initial meeting with Taras and was impressed with his philosophy on maintaining pools. Alex has made a few visits and has done a great job.
Response from the owner: We're so glad to hear you're having a great experience, John! It's wonderful knowing that Taras and Alex have been able to impress you with their work. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to them. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts!
My pool pump was not working. The technician came out in less then 30 minutes. Found the problem and no charge. It was a super simple fix. So impressed!!
Response from the owner: Thank you for your positive review, Kristine! We're glad the technician could resolve your issue quickly and efficiently. Don't hesitate to reach out if you need any further assistance!

Highly recommended. Ross from Clean pool Pros he is kind, knowledgable, and well-equipped to tackle any pool issues you may have. Our pool looks perpetually inviting and he even made the replacement of a broken water pump a painless experience.
Clean Pool Pros show up every Monday, on-time. They do a great job in managing everything from the water quality, filter, pump, skimmer, pool sweep. Our pool is consistently sparkling. Ross the Owner goes above and beyond and always gets back to me with any questions. He's been patient and even came over to give me a training session on my pool and equipment as it's been a while since I had one. Alex and Josh are our Pool Techs. They are efficient and quick and always spend time answering or educating. Clean Pool Pros is the only pool service company I want to use. They are stellar and always get back to me quickly when I text , email, or call with questions.

I had been noticing that air seemed to be getting into our pump somewhere. I contacted another pool service company in the area, but was told that they would only provide service on the pump if we hired them for weekly service on the pool, which isn’t something we needed.I then contacted Clean Pool Pros and was told that they could come out to take a look at the pump. Ross came out and thoroughly inspected the pump. He found where he thought the air was coming in and recommended the parts we would need. I ordered the parts and replaced it myself. Now our pump is working perfectly!Clean Pool Pros is honest and has great customer service. They are the only company we will contact in the future if we need service. Thank you
Response from the owner: Thank you for your positive feedback, John Lindley! We're thrilled to hear that you had a satisfactory experience with Ross and our service overall. Your recognition of our honesty and customer service means a lot to us. We're happy that your pump is now working perfectly thanks to your diligent work and our guidance. We look forward to being your go-to company for any future pool service needs.
I hired Clean Pool Pros right after having my pool re-done. I found them to be very knowledgeable, honest, and punctual (on time). They come out weekly and the pool always looks great. Finding a company/business that has employees with these qualities is hard to find and I would definitely recommend them.
Response from the owner: Thank you for your positive rating, Tina Marie! We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that you found us knowledgeable, honest, and punctual. It's great to know that your pool always looks great after our visits. We're grateful for your recommendation!
Response from the owner: Thank you for your positive rating, Shaun Cornett! We appreciate your support and look forward to continuing to provide you with top-notch pool care.
Clean Pool Pros did an amazing job on my pool recently, from the condition it was so dirty and green to a brand new looking pool in just 3 days. They also worked above and beyond around my schedule and were happy to answer the million of questions without hesitation. Great service for a great price! Highly recommend!
Response from the owner: Thank you for your positive feedback, Olga Yelchaninova! We're thrilled to hear that we could transform your pool from dirty and green to brand new in just 3 days.

Response from the owner: Thank you for your positive rating, Kevin Morgenstern! We appreciate your support and look forward to continuing to provide you with top-notch pool care.
We connected with Taras regarding a faulty pool sweep that kept giving us issues and for some reason, other professionals couldn’t address. He came out the next day and diagnosed the issue quickly and gave us some additional advice on our filter and pump system. Admittedly, we need to take the pool sweep to get fixed by the manufacturer, but he diagnosed what they couldn’t, and didn’t overcharge for the visit. Would definitely work with Taras and Clean Pool Pros again! 5 star service all the way.
Response from the owner: Thank you for your positive feedback, Robert Penman! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Taras diagnosing the pool sweep issue and providing additional advice on your filter and pump system. We look forward to working with you again!
From the moment Taras first came by to assess my pool and talk to me about his services, my interactions with him and his crew have always been positive. They know their stuff, are professional, and always go the extra mile to provide the highest quality service. Upon hire, they immediately fixed my spa with a $30 part. My prior pool company told me it would cost thousands to repair. I appreciate now having a company that takes such good care of my pool that I don’t have to think about it, other than enjoying it with my family!
Response from the owner: Thank you for your positive feedback, Iván Carrillo! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with our team and how we were able to provide you with high-quality service while fixing your spa. We're glad that you can now enjoy your pool with your family without any worries.

Very thorough and detailed service. My pool always looks brand new after a cleaning. Consistently excellent communication from Clean Pool Pros and any questions I have had were answered quickly and honestly.
Response from the owner: Thank you for your positive feedback, Terence Johnson!

POOL FILTER CLEANING IN ELK GROVE

A swimming pool filter is an essential component of any pool, responsible for removing debris, dirt, and other contaminants from the water to keep it clean and clear. Over time, however, the filter can become clogged with dirt and debris, reducing its efficiency and potentially causing damage to the pool’s circulation system. Regular pool filter cleaning is necessary to ensure that the filter is functioning properly and maintaining a safe and healthy swimming environment.

There are three types of pool filters: sand, cartridge, and DE (diatomaceous earth). Each type of filter has its own unique maintenance requirements and cleaning methods.

Sand filters are the most common type of pool filter and are relatively easy to maintain. The filter consists of a tank filled with sand, which traps dirt and debris as the water passes through. Over time, the sand can become clogged with dirt and debris, reducing its efficiency and requiring the filter to be cleaned.

To clean a sand filter, the first step is to turn off the pump and release the pressure by opening the air release valve on the filter. Next, the filter should be backwashed, which involves reversing the flow of water through the filter to flush out the dirt and debris. The backwash process should continue until the water in the sight glass is clear and clean.

After backwashing, the next step is to rinse the filter, which involves running the water through the filter in the normal direction to settle the sand back into place. Once the filter is rinsed, the pump can be turned back on, and the filter should be ready for use.

Cartridge filters are another type of pool filter that requires regular cleaning. The filter consists of a cartridge made of pleated polyester, which traps dirt and debris as the water passes through. Over time, the cartridge can become clogged with dirt and debris, reducing its efficiency and requiring the filter to be cleaned.

To clean a cartridge filter, the first step is to turn off the pump and remove the cartridge from the filter. The cartridge should then be hosed down with a high-pressure hose to remove any dirt and debris. If the cartridge is very dirty, it can be soaked in a filter cleaner solution to help remove stubborn dirt and debris.

Once the cartridge has been cleaned, it should be rinsed thoroughly and allowed to dry before being reinstalled in the filter. It is important to note that cartridges have a lifespan and should be replaced when they become too worn or damaged.

DE (diatomaceous earth) filters are the most complex type of pool filter and require the most maintenance. The filter consists of a tank filled with a powder made from fossilized diatoms, which traps dirt and debris as the water passes through. Over time, the powder can become clogged with dirt and debris, reducing its efficiency and requiring the filter to be cleaned.

To clean a DE filter, the first step is to turn off the pump and release the pressure by opening the air release valve on the filter. Next, the filter should be backwashed, which involves reversing the flow of water through the filter to flush out the dirt and debris.

After backwashing, the next step is to recharge the filter with fresh DE powder. This involves adding the powder to the skimmer, which then distributes the powder evenly throughout the filter. Once the filter is recharged, the pump can be turned back on, and the filter should be ready for use.

In addition to regular cleaning, it is also important to maintain the proper water chemistry in your pool to prevent the filter from becoming clogged with dirt and debris. Water that is too acidic or alkaline can cause the filter to become clogged, reducing its efficiency and requiring more frequent cleaning.
