MAINTAIN

Early-season pool maintenance crew at Mountain Pools.

We maintain every kind of pool. Pool maintenance involves cleaning visits, openings, and closings.

Mountain Pools has a large peak season crew of ~10 technicians who clean hundreds of pools a week, and an office staffed Mon-Fri to take your calls. We’re insured and provide a seamless transition to repair service should your pool have an equipment failure, develop a leak, or require renovation.

Some people choose to maintain their pools themselves. We’re here to support DIYers with equipment sales, chemical sales, and water testing. Explore Mountain Pool’s retail store.
