Pool Service and Cleaning · the Lowcountry
Pools here stay open most of the year, which means pine needles, oak leaves, spring pollen and storm debris most of the year too. Heat speeds up algae and burns through chlorine. Many pools belong to second homes and rentals, where the owner may be far away and guests may arrive on a weekly schedule, so the service company is often the only one who sees the equipment.
Ask whether the price covers chemicals and equipment checks or just cleaning, and how they report a problem. For a rental, ask how they work around turnover days. Wade Banks covers the rest in the second-home guide.
I'd ask how they'd tell you about a problem when you're four states away. A photo and a text the same day beats a note left on the gate.
