The Pool Pros for the “Choice of Champions”
Clermont carries the motto “Choice of Champions,” and it’s no mystery why. The city adopted it in 2014 to reflect the National Training Center, which opened in 2001, the 70-meter heated outdoor pool where Olympians have trained, and the generations of elite athletes who have lived here over the years. It’s really no surprise that Clermont carries the moniker. But like the athletic talent, the standard for residential pool care has to match.
PoolTek has served the greater Orlando metro for over 20 years. Clermont is a core part of our service area, and we’ve built our reputation on consistency across everything from a 1990s pool in Citrus Tower Village to a fresh start-up in a 34714 new-construction community.
Signs Your Pool Needs Professional Cleaning
Small pool issues can easily hide under the radar. But a problem that slips by you can quickly turn into something that needs chemical correction. Most Clermont pool owners don’t realize how much time and money those problems cost until they get rid of them.
Here’s what to watch for before calling us for pool cleaning in Clermont, FL:
- Water losing its clarity or that deep-blue look it had after the last service
- Chlorine is burning off within hours instead of holding for days
- A ring of buildup is forming around the waterline
- Algae starting in corners, around return jets, or behind ladders
- Skimmer baskets need to be emptied far more often than before
- Calcium deposits hardening on tile or equipment surfaces
- A pool heater or pump is making a sound that it didn’t make last month
A lot of Clermont homeowners moved here for the lifestyle the city advertises. You don’t want to be wrestling with pool chemistry. It’s not part of that picture. The PoolTek crew makes it easy with our 10-step pool cleaning process, too.
Pool Filter Cleaning and Replacement
Filters in Clermont work against a combination of conditions, especially in flatter parts of the state. The Chain of Lakes puts a lot of moisture into the air, which, of course, accelerates all the biological growth, leading to algae blooms, and debris often finds its way into your filter.
Three signs your filter is behind where it needs to be:
- Filter pressure gauge reading high, even right after a cleaning
- Pool water is taking longer than usual to clear after a shock or rain
- Fine particles are settling on pool floors despite normal pump cycles

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are common questions we hear in Clermont.
Can I test my pool water myself?
You can, and it’s overall a good strategy. But there’s only so much you can do solo. The limitation is range and precision. Most consumer kits test for three or four values and degrade with heat and time, which is a problem in Central Florida. Our pool maintenance in Clermont, FL, uses digital testing equipment that reads a broader chemistry profile.
Is PoolTek licensed and insured?
Yes, fully. Our contractor license is CPC1460328, and we carry full commercial bonding and insurance. Every PoolTek technician is a verified company employee, and each has cleared a background check before working on any pool. If you want more information on credentials, just ask us.
How do I prepare my pool for a hurricane?
First, don’t drain the pool. This is a costly, dangerous (but also understandable) mistake to make. During a major Florida storm, the ground becomes completely soaked with water. This “soupy” earth creates massive upward pressure. Since a full pool is incredibly heavy, thousands of gallons of water act as an anchor. The pressure from the water table can literally pop the pool out of the ground. Beyond that: cut power at the pool equipment panel, shock the water before the storm hits, secure or store anything that could become airborne, and trim vegetation.
