vacation pool sitting service
Pool sitting for someone else’s swimming pool while the owner is away on vacation sounds like anyone’s dream gig, but taking care of a pool is more work that one might think. Perhaps you learned your lesson last summer, when you left the task of pool sitting up to your neighbors’ kids. When you came back from vacation, the pool was full of leaves, and your inflatable salt water crocodile was floating, half deflated, in the pool with lipstick drawn on his mouth in permanent marker. There were sun-bleached swim noodles lounging on the lounge chairs and, rather inexplicably, ramen noodles stuck to the pool deck. Perhaps that was when you decided that pool sitting was a task best left to professionals like the ones at Elkhart Pools.
No matter how long or how short your vacation, we will come to your house to check on your pool and perform the necessary maintenance as often as the pool needs it. If you are out of town at the beginning or end of the season, we can even open or close your pool for you. |

Our standard vacation pool sitting service covers a variety of types of maintenance. First, we check your pool water twice per week to test the pH, chlorine, cyanaric acid, salinity, and water hardness, and we add the necessary chemicals to maintain the appropriate levels of these indicators. We will also shock your pool once per week. Once per week, we will skim the leaves from the surface of your pool empty your skimmer baskets and strainer baskets, and we will vacuum the pool with an automatic pool cleaner. We will brush the sides of the pool by hand if your automatic pool cleaner does not do this. We will also inspect your pool for leaks and test the pool equipment. We will check your filter pressure and backwash your filter and, if necessary, replace its diatomaceous earth powder and/or its grids. Upon request, we will provide video recordings of our services so that you can be sure of how well we maintained your pool.
Please keep in mind that Elkhart Pools also offers all of these maintenance services even when you are at home. We are always available to open and close your pool at the beginning and end of the season, as well as to clean your pool and check its chemicals. We offer maintenance and parts replacement for all types of filters, including cartridge filters, diatomaceous filters, and sand filters. If you prefer to perform pool maintenance yourself, Elkhart Pools is the only place you will need to go to get all the necessary equipment and supplies. We have everything you need, from chlorine tablets, cyanaric acid, test strips, and shock treatment to filter grids and diatomaceous earth powder. If you are looking to renovate your pool, ask us about state of the art options to make your pool require less maintenance than older pools. Elkhart Pools will help you maintain your pool safely and economically.
