East Valley Pool service?


Can anyone recommend a pool service company? I'm looking for a good, reputable company to take care of my salt water pool. I've tried for the past 2 years and can't seem to get it quite right.

thanks in advance!

Most newer pools I've seen are salt. They are 100x better.

Salt's chemical compound is NaCL. Na being sodium and CL being Chloride. The system breaks down the salt into clorine and it chlorinates your pool. Thus you don't have to have the chemical around.

What is it that's not right? I usually just add salt occassionally and clean the cells; it pretty much takes care of itself.

You can take a sample of the water to any pool water and they'll analyze it and tell you what it needs. We used a pool service for a while but found it to be a waste of money - lots of times the guy wouldn't even show up.

For someone so smart, one would expect you to know how to properly use a comma.

It's really just a salt chlorinator - not sea water

You attacked my usage of an ambitransitive verb. I was crushed, I didn't know that it didn't require a morphological change

When? I don't even know what an intransitive verb is. So there. I just know when I'm right or wrong.

Oh, now it's ambitransitive?

You are quite silly today.

It's not too bad if I keep right on top of it, but I'm gone a lot on business and it doesn't take too long to get out of wack. It doesn't help I live in a pretty dusty area and my neighbor has 6 horses

You hit on my concern about a pool service company. I would demand a receipt for each visit detailing what was done.
