Signs Your Pool Needs Cleaning
There are a few signs you should keep watch for. A lot of pools can keep these under wraps, and you only notice when the problem’s grown too large to ignore:
- The surface looks dull or lost its usual shine
- You need to use more chlorine
- A faint greenish or yellowish tint near the skimmer or pool steps
- Algae spots that keep coming back, even after brushing
- Heavy oak leaf and Spanish moss debris in your skimmer. Winter Spring’s mature Tuscawilla-era tree canopy puts pools through their paces
- Pool walls that feel slick
If you’re experiencing any of these, consider regular pool cleaning and maintenance in Winter Springs, FL, with PoolTek! We can spot and fix any and all of these issues. We can also work out a maintenance schedule so all of these issues aren’t even on your radar.
Pool Filter Cleaning and Replacement
Winter Springs sits pretty close to Lake Jesup, and that means that algae spores, organic matter, and humidity into local pools on the north side of town all the time. Add to that the trees all around dropping leaves and branches, and dense landscaping from properties around town, and your filter will go through the wringer.
Here are common warning signs to look out for:
- Filter pressure is sitting above the baseline you noted at the last cleaning
- You’re seeing cloudy water that won’t clear up even though you seem to have balanced chemistry
- Debris makes it past your filter and settling in the pool
PoolTek knows how to clean and replace filters, no matter what causes the issue, and no matter what filter you have: DE, cartridge, and sand systems all across 32708. Whatever you have.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are common questions we hear in Winter Springs.
Can I test my pool water
Yes, you can, and you really should. But calling us up for professional water testing will make sure you don;t miss anything on your own. At-home tests can easily get skewed from the heat alone, so it’s not exactly 100% reliable.
My pool equipment is from the 1980s, should I upgrade?
Yes. Those older pools, even if it seems like the equipment’s solid, could be failing internally. A preemptive upgrade saves you money via energy-saving costs, and avoids more expensive emergency repairs and replacements on a holiday weekend.
Is PoolTek licensed?
Yes, the PoolTek pros are completely licensed (CPC1460328), bonded , and insured. Feel free to ask about our credentials when we come out for your appointment or for when you give us a call.
