The problem with most pool companies
Frustrating. Unreliable.
Impersonal.
Late replies. Different techs every visit. Rushed 10-minute stops. And just enough water issues to keep you from ever feeling good about the money you're paying to maintain your pool.

Weekly Service
Weekly Pool Cleaning & Maintenance in Plano
Everything that happens at your pool, every single week.
What’s Included in Every Visit
Full scope, no line items skipped
- Skim the surface
- Brush walls and tile
- Empty skimmer and pump baskets
- Vacuum the floor
- Check filter pressure and top off water level
- Full chemical test and on-the-spot adjustment
- Timestamped photo report sent to your phone
You get the same technician every week. That matters more than it sounds. Someone who already knows your equipment, your skimmer basket that fills faster than normal, your heater that runs a little hot, the way your pH drifts after a rainstorm. That consistency is the difference between a technician and a stranger with a net.
The photo report we send after every visit shows your pool before and after cleaning, your actual chemical readings, any equipment issues we spotted, and anything you should keep an eye on. You know exactly what happened, what your water looks like, and whether anything needs attention. No guessing. No wondering if we were actually there.
Chemical Balancing & Water Chemistry
Plano water comes from Lake Texoma. When drought hits, the salt follows.
- NTMWD supply draws from Lake Texoma, where Red River salt intrusion raises TDS and sodium during drought years
- Left alone: calcium scale on tile, clouded water, and salt cell plates that corrode ahead of schedule
- We use commercial-grade testing equipment, not retail test strips
- CYA past 80 ppm means partial drain and refill. We tell you straight.
Plano sits on the North Texas Municipal Water District supply, and that supply has a Lake Texoma story worth understanding. The Red River feeds Texoma, and the Red River carries salt. During normal years, the blend is manageable. During drought years, NTMWD draws more heavily from Texoma, and TDS plus sodium levels spike in your tap water. That spike shows up in your pool as elevated conductivity readings, salt cell confusion, and water that fights your chemistry adjustments.
Plano water typically runs pH 7.8 to 8.0, TDS 350 to 500, and calcium 80 to 120. That is slightly softer than what Dallas proper gets from DWU, but the TDS variability is what catches people. A salt chlorine generator calibrated for normal TDS readings will over-produce chlorine when TDS spikes from a Texoma-heavy blend. We recalibrate during those windows so your salt cell is not burning itself out generating chlorine you do not need.
The CYA ProblemCyanuric acid (CYA) protects chlorine from UV breakdown, which is good. But tablet-based chlorination adds CYA to your pool every single week. Past 80 ppm, it locks chlorine in a form that cannot sanitize effectively. When we see that, we tell you straight: it is time for a partial drain and refill. No workarounds, no upsell.
Equipment Inspection & Diagnostics
Find it now. Fix it cheap. Or replace it in August at the worst possible time.
- Leaking pump seal: caught on a routine visit, not after the motor burns out
- Frayed belt on a Polaris booster: spotted before it snaps
- Cracked lid on a Hayward CL filter: same-day photo and quote if it needs repair
A leaking pump seal costs around $40 to replace. Ignore it for two months and the motor floods, seizes, and you are looking at $1,200 or more for a replacement in the middle of August when every pool company in Dallas has a three-week wait. We have seen this scenario enough times that it is not dramatic to say: the weekly inspection pays for itself the first time it catches something.
When we spot something that needs pool equipment repair, you get a photo and a quote the same day. Not a voicemail. Not a text next week. You know what is wrong, what it will cost, and what happens if you wait. The decision is always yours.
Timestamped, GPS-tracked pool health report sent to you.
Not sometimes. Every time.
Ready to see what reliable pool service looks like?
Ten steps. Every visit. No filler.
(That 30-point program others offer? It's not real. “Checking the water” and “Testing chemicals”… that's the same thing.)
Our Process
Four Phases. Nothing Skipped.
Every visit runs the same sequence, in the same order, for the same reason.
The Chemistry
Full water test, on-the-spot adjustment. Plano’s NTMWD water shifts with seasonal demand and drought conditions. Last month’s readings do not predict this month’s chemistry.
The Clean
Physical cleaning comes first: skim, brush, vacuum. The brushing is not optional. Algae starts as a film on your walls and tile before it ever becomes visible, and brushing is what stops it at that stage.
The Equipment
Check everything mechanical: pump, filter, circulation, timer, automation. Small problems caught in this phase stay small. The ones nobody looks for are the ones that turn into Saturday emergencies.
The Proof
A timestamped, GPS-backed report sent to your phone when we leave. Chemical readings, equipment notes, photos of your pool. You have a record of every visit, every time, going back as far as you want to look.
No shortcuts. No twelve-minute visits.
Transparent pricing
How Much Does Pool Cleaning Cost in Plano?
Weekly pool cleaning in Plano starts at $220 per month. That covers full-service maintenance with all chemicals included, every visit documented with photos. Most residential pools in Plano fall between $220 and $250 depending on size and features.
Starting at
$220/mo
All chemicals included
That's below the local metro average of $240/month. Some Plano competitors advertise $149 but charge chemicals separately, pushing your actual monthly cost well past ours. Our price includes everything.
What Affects Your Monthly Price
Pool size is the biggest factor. A standard pool in Chase Oaks (75023) costs less to maintain than a larger setup in Willow Bend (75093) with an attached spa, water features, and a Pentair IntelliChlor salt system.
Pool volume more water means more chemicals and more time
Features spas, waterfalls, bubblers, and deck jets add complexity
Condition a neglected pool needs more work upfront before settling into a weekly rhythm
Equipment type salt chlorination systems, variable-speed pumps, and automation
Transparent Pricing, No Contracts
We quote a flat monthly rate after a free on-site inspection. No contracts. Month-to-month. If our work doesn't keep you around, a piece of paper won't either.

What Our Clients Say
We hold a perfect 5-star rating on Google, not 4.8, not 4.9. Five stars across every single review. Our goal is simple: be the best pool service you've ever had.
5 out of 5 stars“Our builder installed a Pentair IntelliCenter system and then nobody could figure out how to maintain it properly. Poolside knows these systems cold. Salt cell output is dialed in, scheduling works, and I stopped getting error codes at 2 AM.”
5 out of 5 stars“Our salt cell kept throwing errors. Poolside diagnosed a flow sensor issue that two other companies missed. Fixed it in one visit. Been on weekly service since and the pool has never looked better.”
5 out of 5 stars“Photo reports every week. My husband loves it. We can see exactly what is happening even when we are traveling for work. No more wondering whether the pool guy actually showed up.”
5 out of 5 stars“We have a 1980s pool with the original plaster. Other companies wanted to sell us a full renovation before they would even take us on. Poolside just maintains it properly. Honest, no games.”

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Pool Cleaning in Plano
Got questions? Good.
Weekly pool maintenance starts at $220/month, which includes all chemicals, weekly visits, full water testing, and our complete maintenance process. Most Plano pools fall between $220 and $250/month. We quote a flat rate after a free on-site inspection. No surprises on your bill.
Plano’s water comes from the North Texas Municipal Water District, which sources from Lake Texoma. The Red River feeds Texoma and carries natural salt. During drought years, TDS and sodium spike when NTMWD draws heavily from that source. That spike affects salt cell calibration, chemical dosing, and water clarity. Weekly professional monitoring catches these shifts before they become problems.
Our weekly service covers surface skimming, wall and tile brushing, chemical testing and balancing, filter inspection, pump and equipment checks, water level adjustment, and a detailed photo report. All chemicals are included. We test free chlorine, pH, alkalinity, CYA, and calcium hardness at every visit.
Yes. We service Pentair IntelliCenter, Hayward OmniLogic, Jandy iAquaLink, and other automation platforms across Plano daily. Salt cell cleaning, pump diagnostics, heater troubleshooting, and control panel reprogramming are all part of what we do. Your pool tech should be able to reprogram your control panel, not just bypass it.
Yes. West Plano (Willow Bend, Legacy West, Stonebriar) tends to have newer construction with salt systems, automation, and attached spas that need specialized maintenance. East Plano (Indian Creek, Canyon Creek) has more established homes with older pool builds that need honest equipment assessments and careful chemistry management. We handle both ends of the spectrum.
Weekly, year-round. The Plano swim season runs April through October, but pools still need chemical maintenance and debris removal during winter months. Skipping weeks leads to algae, staining, calcium scale, and equipment damage that costs significantly more to fix than consistent weekly service.
We have a money-back guarantee. If you’re ever unsatisfied for any reason, simply tell us and we refund the full cost of the most recent month with zero questions asked. We’ve never actually had to issue one, but we like knowing the guarantee is there.
During drought years, NTMWD draws more heavily from Lake Texoma, which receives Red River salt intrusion. That raises TDS and sodium in Plano tap water. For pool owners with salt chlorine generators, this means your cell reads artificially high salt levels and may over-produce chlorine. We monitor these seasonal shifts and recalibrate your system so the salt cell is not burning itself out.
No, most of our clients aren’t home when we service their pool. We just need reliable access to the pool and equipment pad. A photo report goes to your phone after every visit. (Your backyard dog will eventually warm up to us.)
