Weekly Pool Service in Southwest Florida Starts with a 35-Point Inspection
Owning a pool in Punta Gorda, Port Charlotte, or North Port means year-round maintenance.
Between Florida heat, heavy rain, debris, and constant sun exposure, water chemistry shifts quickly — and small issues can become expensive repairs before most homeowners even notice them. That’s why professional weekly pool service isn’t just about skimming leaves and adding chlorine.
It’s about system oversight.
At Pool Boy, every new weekly pool service contract begins with our comprehensive 35-Point Pool Inspection. Before we clean, balance, or maintain anything, we evaluate the entire pool system from top to bottom.
We don’t start service blindly.
We start with a complete inspection.
This structured evaluation ensures your recurring pool service begins with a clear baseline — so we can prevent problems instead of reacting to them.
What Is Included in the 35-Point Pool Inspection?
Our inspection evaluates water chemistry, surfaces, safety components, circulation, and equipment. Nothing is overlooked.
1. Water Quality & Chemistry Testing
Balanced water protects swimmers, surfaces, and equipment. Improper chemistry can lead to scaling, staining, corrosion, algae growth, and premature equipment failure.
During our inspection, we test and evaluate:
- Water clarity (clear, cloudy, algae indicators)
- Free chlorine and combined chlorine
- pH and total alkalinity
- Calcium hardness
- Stabilizer (CYA)
- Salt levels (if applicable)
- Total dissolved solids (TDS)
- Metal or scale indicators
These readings guide your weekly pool service plan and allow us to identify any chemical stress before it causes damage.
2. Pool Surface & Tile Evaluation
Your pool surface is constantly exposed to chemicals, UV rays, and environmental debris. Over time, imbalance and neglect show up in the finish.
We carefully inspect:
- Surface condition (plaster, pebble, or finish type)
- Stains (rust, copper, organic staining)
- Cracks, chipping, peeling, or delamination
- Tile condition
- Grout line integrity
- Calcium buildup at the waterline
Early detection helps prevent permanent staining and costly resurfacing.
Note: This inspection evaluates visible surface conditions. Structural leak detection requires specialized testing and is not included.
3. Safety & Drain Compliance
Safety is a critical part of professional pool maintenance.
We inspect:
- Skimmer condition
- Skimmer baskets
- Pump baskets
- Main drain cover compliance
Many older pools still have outdated drain covers that do not meet current safety standards. We verify whether the drain cover meets VGB compliance guidelines, which are designed to reduce the risk of suction entrapment and improve swimmer safety.
Proper safety components also ensure healthy water circulation.
4. Circulation & Filtration System Review
Healthy circulation keeps water clean and protects equipment. Without proper flow, chemicals cannot distribute evenly and debris begins to settle.
We evaluate:
- Pump operation and performance
- Motor condition
- Filter condition and pressure
- Filter sizing and efficiency
- O-rings and seals
- Visible plumbing integrity
- Valves and fittings
- Signs of restricted flow
Catching small issues early extends the life of your pump and filtration system.
5. Equipment & System Components
Your equipment pad is the mechanical heart of your pool system — and one of the largest investments in pool ownership.
We inspect:
- Pump, motor, and seals
- Filters and elements
- Chlorinator or salt system components
- Heater type and visible condition
- Timers and automation systems
- Electrical connections (visible)
- Lights, niches, and face rings
- Overall equipment pad condition
Small wear items like cracked O-rings or aging seals may seem minor but can lead to costly breakdowns if ignored.
Why We Inspect Before Weekly Service Begins
The most important part of our 35-Point Inspection isn’t just the checklist — it’s how we use the information.
This inspection:
- Establishes a professional starting baseline
- Identifies safety concerns
- Helps prioritize repairs
- Allows accurate sizing of replacement parts
- Prevents unexpected equipment failures
- Supports consistent, proactive weekly maintenance
Once the inspection is complete, your recurring weekly pool service begins — including:
- Skimming
- Brushing
- Vacuuming
- Tile cleaning
- Filter maintenance
- Ongoing water chemistry balancing
- System monitoring
Because we understand your pool’s condition from day one, your service is customized — not guesswork.
