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 Richardson
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
Richardson pulls from TWO water districts. Your chemistry depends on which side of the city you live on.
- Richardson receives water from both DWU and NTMWD, blended differently by pressure zone and season
- pH swings from 7.7 to 8.4 depending on which source dominates your tap that week
- We use commercial-grade testing equipment, not retail test strips
- CYA past 80 ppm means partial drain and refill. We tell you straight.
Richardson has the most unpredictable water in our entire service area. The city draws from two different districts: Dallas Water Utilities and the North Texas Municipal Water District. The blend ratio shifts by pressure zone and by season. A pool in Canyon Creek might get mostly NTMWD water while a pool in Richardson Heights gets DWU. That means calcium hardness can range from 70 to 170 ppm depending on where you are and when you test.
This matters because your chemical dosing has to match what is actually coming out of your tap right now, not what it was two months ago. A technician running the same treatment plan across all of Richardson is going to over-correct half the pools and under-treat the other half. We test every parameter every week and adjust to what your water is actually doing, not what a chart says it should be doing.
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. Richardson’s dual water sources make weekly testing non-negotiable. What came out of your tap last month is not what is coming out today.
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 Richardson?
Weekly pool cleaning in Richardson starts at $220 per month. That covers full-service maintenance with all chemicals included, every visit documented with photos. Most residential pools in Richardson 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 Richardson competitors charge $149-$209 but bill chemicals separately, adding $50-80/month to your actual cost. Our price includes everything.
What Affects Your Monthly Price
Pool size is the biggest factor. A standard pool in Canyon Creek (75080) costs less to maintain than a larger setup in Prairie Creek with an attached spa, water features, and a salt chlorine generator.
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.

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“I work from home and my pool is visible from my office window. It went green twice with my last service. Poolside has kept it crystal clear for eight months straight. The photo reports are a nice bonus when I travel.”
5 out of 5 stars“Our pool is under three mature pecan trees. Every other company complained about the debris. Poolside just handles it. Filter gets extra attention, baskets get cleared, and the water stays balanced. Simple as that.”
5 out of 5 stars“Pool was green when we bought the house. They had it clear in four days. Been on weekly service since. The chemistry has been rock-solid even with Richardson water being all over the place.”
5 out of 5 stars“Switched from doing it ourselves after ten years. We were spending almost as much on chemicals from the pool store and our water was never right. Should have called these guys years ago.”

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Pool Cleaning in Richardson
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 Richardson pools fall between $220 and $250/month. We quote a flat rate after a free on-site inspection. No surprises on your bill.
Richardson draws from two water districts: Dallas Water Utilities and the North Texas Municipal Water District. The blend ratio shifts by pressure zone and season. A pool near Canyon Creek might get mostly NTMWD water while a pool in Richardson Heights gets DWU. That is why your pH can swing from 7.7 to 8.4 depending on when you test. Weekly professional testing accounts for these shifts instead of running the same treatment plan every visit.
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 residential pools throughout the Telecom Corridor area and near UTD in ZIP codes 75080 and 75081. This includes rental properties. We work with homeowners, landlords, and property managers. Photo reports give remote owners full visibility into every visit.
Richardson water carries higher calcium hardness and TDS than many nearby cities, especially when the NTMWD source dominates. Summer evaporation concentrates minerals further every time you top off with more fill water. Without weekly monitoring, calcium carbonate deposits build on tile, inside plumbing, and on salt cell plates.
In Richardson, weekly service is the standard. Our summers consistently hit 100+, which accelerates algae growth dramatically. Richardson’s dual water sources make chemistry even more unpredictable. A pool that looks fine on Monday can have visible algae by Friday if it misses a week of chemical management. Year-round weekly maintenance keeps your chemicals balanced and prevents costly swings.
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.
Yes. Richardson’s water blend from DWU and NTMWD shifts throughout the year. During peak summer demand, the ratio changes. During drought years, NTMWD draws more heavily from Lake Texoma, which increases TDS and sodium levels. This is why a static treatment plan does not work in Richardson. We test and adjust every week based on what your water is actually doing.
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.)
