Weekly cleaning, filter, spa and tile care for pools in Charlotte, Matthews, Waxhaw and Indian Land.
Charlotte is hard on pool water. Pine pollen coats the surface every March, summer storms dump leaves and red clay runoff, and 90-degree afternoons burn through chlorine before dinner. A pool that looked fine on Monday can be cloudy by Friday.
Owner Damon has cleaned pools across Mecklenburg and Union counties for more than 10 years. Our pool cleaning service covers the weekly work (chemistry, skimming, brushing, vacuuming) and the jobs that come up a few times a year: filter cleaning, spa cleaning and tile cleaning. One crew handles all of it, so nothing falls between two companies.
Already green? That’s a different job. Start with our Green to Clean recovery and we’ll move you to weekly service once the water is clear.
Weekly service is the core of pool cleaning in Charlotte. Every visit we skim the surface, brush walls and steps, vacuum the floor, empty the skimmer and pump baskets, test the water and balance chlorine, pH and alkalinity to the CDC’s healthy swimming ranges.
We check the pump and filter while we’re there, because a seal that’s weeping today is a pump that’s dead in August. Skip a week in July and you’ll usually see it in the water.
Your filter catches everything the skimmer misses: pollen, fine dirt, sunscreen. When it clogs, circulation drops, the water dulls and the pump works harder for less.
We clean cartridge, DE and sand filters twice a year on our weekly plans, and more often after a heavy pollen spring. If the filter is cracked or the grids are torn, that’s a pool filter repair, and we’ll tell you before we quote it.
Spa water runs hot, holds less volume and gets more body oil per gallon than the pool, so it goes off faster. Spa cleaning covers water testing and balancing, debris removal and a look at the jets, heater and circulation.
We clean attached spas and standalone hot tubs. If the spa won’t hold heat or the jets have died, that’s spa repair, a separate visit.
The white crust along the waterline is calcium scale, and Charlotte’s water plus a hot summer puts it there fast. Tile cleaning removes scale and staining from the waterline without damaging the grout or the tile face.
We do it as a standalone job or as part of a spring tune-up. For stained plaster below the tile line, an acid wash is the next step.
There are plenty of pool cleaners in Charlotte. Here is what our customers say sets us apart: we test before we add chemicals rather than dosing on a schedule, we tell you when a problem is small enough to fix yourself, and the same crew shows up each week so they know your pool. We’re licensed and insured, and Damon has cleaned more than 100 Charlotte-area pools over his 10 years in the trade. If something on the equipment pad fails, our pool repair team handles it, so you’re not calling a second company.

Straight answers to what Charlotte homeowners ask us about pool cleaning. Still stuck? Call and ask.
Weekly pool cleaning in Charlotte starts at $100 a month for Chemical Only and $170 a month for Full Service with Damon's Pool Care. The exact price depends on pool size, tree cover and the condition of the water when we start. Repairs are quoted separately before any work begins.
Once a week, year-round. Charlotte's heat, afternoon storms and spring pollen change water chemistry within days, so a weekly visit is the shortest interval that keeps chlorine and pH stable without the owner doing anything in between. Every-other-week schedules usually show up as cloudy water by midsummer.
Each Full Service visit covers skimming, brushing walls and steps, vacuuming the floor, emptying skimmer and pump baskets, testing the water and balancing chlorine, pH and alkalinity. We also check the pump, filter and equipment for early signs of trouble. Chemical Only visits cover the testing, balancing, baskets and equipment check.
Mostly chlorine for sanitizing, muriatic acid to bring pH down, sodium bicarbonate to raise alkalinity, and stabilizer (cyanuric acid) so sunlight doesn't burn chlorine off by noon. We test first and add only what the water needs. Salt pools get the same testing; the salt cell makes the chlorine.
Most Charlotte pools open in April and swim through October, but cleaning doesn't stop when swimming does. Pine pollen arrives in March, leaves fall through November, and a pool left uncovered over winter still needs chemistry checks. Weekly service year-round costs less than a green-pool recovery every spring.
If you have 20 minutes a week, a good test kit and don't mind the chemistry, you can do it yourself. Most Charlotte homeowners who hire us either travel, have a large or tree-covered pool, or got tired of fighting algae every June. A service pays for itself when it prevents one green-pool recovery.
Pollen floats and sits on the surface or settles in a fine yellow dust that the skimmer catches; algae clings to walls and steps and comes back after brushing. The quick test: if your free chlorine holds overnight, it's pollen. In Charlotte that yellow film from March to May is almost always pine pollen.
No brushing needed on Full Service. Two things help: empty the skimmer basket after a storm, and glance at the pump to make sure it's running on schedule. If you see green in a corner between visits, call us the same day rather than waiting for the next one. It's a chlorine issue, not a brushing issue.
A robot handles the floor and some walls. It doesn't test water, add chemicals, clean the filter, empty the pump basket or notice a failing seal. Plenty of our Charlotte customers run a robot between visits; we handle the chemistry and equipment, which is where pools actually go wrong.
Yes. Every visit starts with a water test before anything is added, and we adjust chlorine, pH and alkalinity to the reading, not to a schedule. If a number is off from what we expect, we look for the cause (a dying salt cell, a clogged filter, a leak) instead of just dosing more chemical.
