How We Price Our Pool Care

Every pool is different, so Michael prices yours after seeing it. This page explains how that pricing works: what the weekly service includes, what is billed only when your pool needs it, and how every charge shows up in your report and invoice.

What You're Paying For

Included in Weekly Service vs. Billed Separately

The idea is simple: you pay for the work that was actually done. The weekly rate covers the cleaning and balancing your pool needs to stay clear, and anything that only comes up occasionally is billed on its own, so you never pay extra for services your pool did not need.

Included in Your Weekly Service

  • Brushing, Skimming, and Vacuuming

    Walls, steps, and waterline brushed, the surface skimmed, and the floor vacuumed as the pool needs it.

  • Baskets and Basic Upkeep

    Pump and skimmer baskets emptied, with a look over circulation and visible equipment on every visit.

  • Water Testing and Balancing

    Water tested with a professional DPD test kit, which reads chlorine and pH more precisely than strips, then balanced every visit.

  • Core Chemicals Included

    Chlorine or another disinfectant, plus the muriatic acid and soda ash that keep pH in range, are part of the standard weekly rate.

Billed Separately, Only When Needed

  • Filter Cleaning

    A separate job handled on the schedule your filter actually calls for, judged by inspection rather than a fixed date.

  • Salt Cell Cleaning

    If your pool runs a salt system, the cell needs calcium scale cleared off its plates on the same timeline as the filter. A flat charge, usually handled on the same visit.

  • Chemicals Beyond the Core Set

    Treatments used less often, like conditioner, algaecide, or phosphate remover, charged per dose so you only pay for what your pool used.

  • Algae and Scale Removal

    Heavier work like clearing a bloom or removing calcium scale is priced on its own, since it goes beyond routine cleaning.

  • Acid Washing

    A deeper restoration for pools with heavy staining or scale that regular cleaning cannot lift, done by draining the pool and treating the surface. Priced as its own project.

  • Repairs and One-Time Projects

    Repairs and work beyond regular weekly care are tracked by the hour, and larger jobs like a green-pool recovery are quoted as their own project.

How the Main Costs Work

Three things shape what you pay beyond the weekly visit: how you're billed, how chemicals are handled, and when the filter needs cleaning.

Billing

Michael bills after the work is done, not in advance. Your monthly invoice lists the specific weeks serviced that month, so the amount always matches the visits you received.

Chemicals

Include the core chemicals in your weekly rate, or have everything billed per dose. Chlorine and acid are needed constantly, so they are usually included; other chemicals come up far less often, and paying per dose for those tends to cost you less.

Filters

Filter cleaning is a separate charge, timed by looking at the filter rather than a set date. A rule of thumb is every 3 to 4 months, sooner if it is loading up, and never longer than 6 months unless you request it. New clients get nearly 50% off their first filter cleaning.

Documented Every Time

You Can See Exactly What You Paid For

Transparency is not just a promise on this page, it is built into how Michael works. After every visit you get a written report, and each month an itemized invoice. Together they show the work, the chemicals, and the charges, line by line.

  • The Weekly Report: Sent after each visit with chemistry readings, the chemicals applied and their dosages, tasks completed, and photos.
  • The Monthly Invoice: Lists the weeks serviced that month and every chemical charged for, so the bill matches the reports you already have.
  • Charged Only for What Was Used: Extra chemicals and periodic work appear as their own line items, and only in the months they were actually needed.
  • Approved Before It's Done: Anything beyond routine care is confirmed with you before Michael starts, so no charge arrives unexpected.

Pricing Questions

Common Questions About How We Price

How does AquaVision Pool Care price weekly pool service? +

AquaVision Pool Care prices each pool in the Las Vegas Valley after seeing it. Michael reviews your pool during a free assessment, then sets a weekly rate based on its size, condition, and what it needs, and walks you through the number before you commit. He does not quote a price without seeing the pool, because every pool is different.

Are chemicals included in the weekly price? +

You choose. The most common option includes the core water-balancing chemicals in the weekly rate: chlorine or another disinfectant, muriatic acid, and soda ash. Chemicals used less often, such as conditioner, algaecide, phosphate remover, or clarifier, are billed separately per dose. You can also have every chemical billed per dose. Michael walks through both options during the assessment.

What is included in the weekly service at no extra charge? +

The standard weekly service is part of the base price: brushing, skimming, vacuuming as needed, emptying the pump and skimmer baskets, testing and balancing the water, and a basic look over the equipment. The visit is adjusted to what the pool needs that week without an added fee for routine cleaning.

What costs extra? +

Work that only comes up occasionally is billed separately: filter cleaning, salt cell cleaning if your pool has a salt system, chemicals beyond the core set, algae removal, calcium scale removal, acid washing, repairs, and one-time projects. Each is charged only when your pool needs it, and confirmed with you before Michael starts.

Do you bill in advance or after the work is done? +

Michael bills after the work is completed, not in advance. The monthly invoice lists the weeks serviced that month, so you are billed for the visits you actually received rather than paying ahead for service that has not happened yet.

How often is the filter cleaned, and is it extra? +

Filter cleaning is a separate charge from weekly service. Michael judges the timing by looking at the filter rather than following a fixed date. A reasonable rule of thumb is every 3 to 4 months, sooner if it is loading up and never longer than 6 months unless you request otherwise. New clients get nearly 50% off their first filter cleaning.

How your pool system works →
Do you clean salt cells, and is it extra? +

Yes. If your pool has a salt chlorine generator, cleaning the cell is a flat charge separate from weekly service. Calcium scale builds up on the cell plates, and Las Vegas water builds it faster than most places. Left alone, the cell makes less chlorine and wears out sooner. The timing follows the same rule of thumb as the filter: every 3 to 4 months, sooner if it needs it, and never longer than 6 months. Michael typically cleans the cell on the same visit as the filter, since both come due around the same time. It does not have to be done together, but it usually is.

How salt chlorine generators work in hard water →
How is a green pool or algae cleanup priced? +

A green-pool recovery is a one-time project priced on its own, separate from weekly service. It usually takes several days, because clearing the bloom, correcting the chemistry, and cleaning the filter so the algae does not return all take time. Michael quotes it after seeing the pool.

How Michael cleared a severe algae bloom without draining →
Do you offer acid washing? +

Yes. Acid washing is a one-time restoration for pools with heavy staining, calcium scale, or discoloration that regular cleaning cannot remove. It involves draining the pool and treating the surface, so it is priced as its own project, separate from weekly service. Because it requires a full drain, Michael first checks whether your pool truly needs it.

How do you test the water? +

Michael tests with a DPD test kit, which reads chlorine and pH more precisely than the test strips many services rely on. Accurate readings mean chemicals are dosed to what the water actually needs, which helps control cost over time.

How are repairs and extra work priced? +

Repairs and work beyond regular weekly care, like calcium scale removal, are tracked and billed by the hour. Michael confirms the work and the approach with you before starting.

Will I see an itemized breakdown of what I'm charged for? +

Yes. Every visit generates a written report with the chemicals and dosages used, and each monthly invoice itemizes the weeks serviced and the chemicals charged for. You get a clear record of what you paid for without having to ask.
