Seminole County’s Trusted Pool Pros
While the chickens in Oviedo might have the right-of-way most days, the reason Oviedo’s “growing in the right direction,” is because of stunning views, beautiful properties, and, of course, well-maintained landscaping and pools that stay open all year-round.
Pools are a big upgrade to daily life here in Seminole County, and the pros at PoolTek are here to make that a reality. For over 20 years, we’ve served the greater Orlando area, working on pools across Seminole County the whole time, and we’ve treated every pool the same, whether it’s a blast from the past in Alafaya Woods installed in the 80s, or brand-new addition over on Live Oak Reserve.
Signs Your Pool Needs Professional Cleaning
Pool problems have a way of always getting a head start on the homeowner. Here are some telltale signs that you might ignore at first, that means you need a professional pool cleaning ASAP:
- Surface that looks dull or has lost its usual shine
- Chlorine demand is suddenly spiking
- A faint green or yellow tint near skimmer baskets or pool steps
- Algae spots in shaded corners that come back after brushing
- Heavy organic debris (oak leaves, Spanish moss, palm fronds) clogging the skimmer or filter. Oviedo’s mature tree canopy makes this more common here
- Foam forming on the surface, especially after a rain
- Pool walls that feel slick before they visibly turn
- Heater or pump running on an unusual cycle
Weekly servicing catches all of this. When you have a pool pro from PoolTek checking on your pool, you’re staying well ahead of any problems. If you want more info, check out our in-depth 10-step process!
Pool Filter Cleaning and Replacement
Oviedo’s got a bit of a unique situation, as Lake Jesup’s humidity and algae-ridden air all over the area. And, you guessed it, that algae ends up right in your pool. Plus, pollen from Little Big Eton, and leaves and branches from the mature canopy overhead and your filters will be quickly overwhelmed before you know it.
Here’s how you know your filter’s in trouble:
- Filter pressure sitting well above the baseline you noted at the last cleaning
- Cloudy water that won’t clear despite balanced chemistry
- Debris making it past the filter and settling in the pool

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are common questions we hear in Oviedo.
Can I test my pool water myself?
You can, and it should be done, but you can only do so much yourself in terms of accuracy. But PoolTek pros have the tools to make sure everything’s in working order. A lot of at-home test strips can easily get wonky because of too much heat. We’ll test it right and let you know what you’re working with
Is PoolTek licensed and insured?
Yes! Our license is CPC1460328, and we’re bonded, and insured.
How do I prepare my pool for a hurricane?
Well, direct storm hits are less common here in Oviedo since we’re so far inland. But tropical systems raking over the peninsula still bring torrents of rain and wind that easily damages your pool equipment. Basically, don’t drain your pool, cut the power to your equipment, shock the water, and trim the vegetation nearby.
