Weekly pool cleaning and maintenance: the BrightWater Protocol
Weekly pool cleaning and maintenance is our core service. Every visit follows the same three-part routine, so your pool stays clean, balanced, and swim-ready without you having to think about it.
- Chemical Balancing. We test and adjust your water chemistry on every visit to keep it clear, safe, and comfortable to swim in. We don't guess, we test.
- Debris Extraction. We skim the surface, brush the waterline, empty the skimmer baskets, and clear the floor so your pool always looks its best.
- System Diagnostics. We inspect your pump, filter, and heater every visit to catch small equipment issues before they turn into expensive repairs.
Standard weekly plans include salt cell cleanings, monthly algae-preventative treatments, priority scheduling, and our referral rewards program. Every visit is backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee, and if algae shows up within 5 days of a cleaning, we come back and fix it at no charge.
Repair & equipment services
Beyond weekly care, we handle the bigger jobs, from reviving a green pool and repairing heaters and pumps to installing modern heating, cooling, and automation.

Green-to-Cleans (Algae Recovery)
If your pool has turned green or cloudy, a Green-to-Clean brings it back to clear water. We shock the water, balance the chemistry, brush every surface, and clean the filter until the pool is swim-ready again. Best for pools that have been sitting, neglected, or hit by a storm. Not sure what caused it? See our guide on why pools turn green.
Salt Systems
We install, clean, and repair salt chlorine generators, the system that makes chlorine from salt for softer, gentler water. If your salt pool has low chlorine, scaling on the cell, or a generator that's stopped working, we'll get it running right. Salt cell cleanings are included in our Standard weekly plan.

Pool Heater Repair & Installation
We install, repair, and service both gas and electric pool heaters, including heat pumps, so you can swim comfortably well past summer. If your water's too cold to enjoy or your heater has stopped keeping up, we'll size, install, or fix the right unit for your pool. Heater acting up? See pool heater and heat pump repair for common problems and costs. Not sure which type fits? Read our pool heater guide for St. Petersburg.
Pool Chillers
A chiller cools your pool water during the hottest stretch of a Florida summer, when a pool can get too warm to be refreshing. We install and maintain chillers to keep your water in a comfortable range all season.
Pump & Equipment Repair
The pump is the heart of your pool's circulation. We install and repair both single-speed and variable-speed pumps. If your water isn't circulating well, your pump is loud, or it's stopped running, we'll diagnose it and recommend a repair or an energy-efficient replacement. See pool pump and equipment repair for what each symptom usually means. Curious how long yours should run? Check our pump run-time guide.
Pool Lighting
We install and replace underwater LED pool lights for safe, efficient evening swims. LED lights use less energy than older bulbs, last longer, and many offer color options. Best if your lights have burned out or you want to modernize an older pool.
Automation Systems
Pool automation lets you run your pump, heater, lights, and chemistry from your phone or a wall panel. We install and integrate smart controls so you can manage your pool without walking out to the equipment pad. Best for owners who want convenience and tighter control over energy use.
Seasonal Pool Maintenance
Florida pools don't close for winter, so weekly care runs all year. What changes is the routine: more testing after summer storms, storm prep during hurricane season, and shorter pump run times with heater use in the cooler months. If you spend part of the year away, our Flexible plan runs month to month with no contract. See the seasonal maintenance page for the season-by-season breakdown and hurricane prep.
All repair and equipment work is performed by our licensed and insured pool professionals, in line with Florida state and local regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is pool cleaning the same as pool service?
Mostly, yes. Pool cleaning usually means skimming, brushing, and vacuuming. Full pool service adds water chemistry testing and balancing plus an equipment check. BrightWater's weekly visits in St. Petersburg include all three: cleaning, chemistry, and a check of your pump, filter, and heater, starting at $155 per month.
How often should a pool be serviced in Florida?
Most residential pools in the St. Petersburg area need weekly service year-round. Florida's heat and long swim season keep algae and water chemistry moving fast, so weekly testing and cleaning is the standard. BrightWater's weekly plans start at $155 per month.
How much does it cost to clean a green pool?
A green pool needs a one-time recovery before regular weekly service begins. BrightWater adds a water-condition charge to your first month, from $50 for cloudy water up to $150 for a heavy swamp condition, on top of your monthly plan. Weekly plans start at $155.
Do you service saltwater pools?
Yes. BrightWater services and repairs saltwater pools, including salt chlorine generator installation, salt cell cleaning, and repair. Salt cell cleanings are included in our Standard weekly plan. Saltwater systems give softer water and steadier chlorine, but the cell still needs regular care.
Can you install or repair a pool heater?
Yes. BrightWater installs, repairs, and services both gas and electric pool heaters across St. Petersburg and Pinellas County. A heater extends your swim season into the cooler months. We also install chillers to keep your water comfortable through peak Florida summers.
Are your technicians licensed and insured?
Yes. All repair and equipment work is performed by our licensed, insured, and background-checked pool professionals, in line with Florida state and local regulations. Every weekly visit is backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee and a 24-hour response on service requests.
