POOL COVERS:    All pool covers must be removed from the pool on your designated service day.  This excludes electronic covers.

RAIN:    During light rain (depending on intensity), we test water, balance pool chemistry, add chemicals as needed, check equipment, check and empty baskets and sweep bags, skim leaves and debris if possible. We will do our best to service your pool during heavy rain or lightening storms, but our safety could prevent us from servicing your pool.
