As the blistering summer heat finally begins to break across the Las Vegas Valley, we are all welcoming the cooler breezes in Henderson, Summerlin, and your Clark County neighborhood. While we are turning down our ACs, your pool water is going through a transition of its own.
After a long, demanding summer of keeping your family cool, heavy evaporation, and intense sunshine, this is one of the times of year when our PoolStar team takes a deep dive into your pool’s long-term health. Over the next few weeks, we are performing comprehensive water quality checks and deep equipment inspections.
Because we want to keep your backyard oasis pristine all winter long, you might soon hear from us regarding advanced maintenance. To make taking care of these seasonal needs effortless, we are introducing a fast, easy tool: Skimmer Quotes.
What is a “Skimmer Quote” and How Does It Work?
We know your time is valuable. If our technicians notice an issue during their regular weekly service that requires extra attention, we don’t want to disrupt your day or leave you guessing.
A Skimmer Quote is our digital, hassle-free estimate system sent directly from our service software straight to your email inbox.
- What to Look For: Keep an eye out for an email from PoolStar with the subject line containing your property address and the word Quote.
- The Details: Inside, you will see a clear, line-item breakdown of exactly what our technician found, the recommended solution, and the total cost.
- One-Click Approval: There’s no need to call the office or print out forms. If you approve of the work, you simply click the green “Approve” button right inside the email, and our system automatically schedules your specialized service.
Why You Might Receive a Skimmer Quote This Month
Our desert environment throws unique challenges at pool water. Here are the top four seasonal adjustments we are looking for right now to protect your pool’s structural longevity:
- A Pool Drain & Fresh Fill: In Las Vegas, our tap water is incredibly “hard” (full of calcium and minerals). As pool water evaporates in the summer heat, the minerals stay behind. Eventually, the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and calcium levels get so high that chemicals stop working effectively. Draining the pool approximately ever three years and when it is testing poorly, replaces that tired, mineral-heavy water with a fresh, easily balanced baseline.
- An Acid Wash: If your pool plaster is looking stained, dark, or discolored after a heavy swim season, an acid wash is the ultimate reset button. We safely apply a specialized mixture to strip away a micro-layer of stains and algae, revealing the bright, beautiful plaster underneath.
- Las Vegas Pool Tile Cleaning: Notice that stubborn, white ring of scale building up along your pool’s waterline? That is pure Las Vegas calcium. Our tile cleaning process safely blasts away that hard crust without damaging your pool tile, restoring your pool’s aesthetic shine.
- Filter Cartridge Inspections & Replacements: Your filter elements are the unsung heroes of your pool, trapping all the dirt, dust, and sunscreen. Throughout the year, we are meticulously open up filter tanks to check the structural integrity of your cartridges. We do a thorough cleaning and if the pleats are torn, the plastic caps are cracked, or the fabric is completely embedded with calcium or grime, we will send over a quote for replacements to prevent dirty water from bypassing your filtration system.
