Pool Maintenance
Our monthly maintenance program includes weekly pool visits, water chemistry balancing, equipment checks, and debris removal. Technicians provide detailed service reports and prioritize customer communication. We offer priority service for unexpected issues and handle repairs with up to one hour of included labor. Regular maintenance ensures optimal pool performance while reducing long-term costs through proactive care.
Leak Detection
Using advanced sonar technology, we identify and repair leaks in vinyl liners, plumbing, and pool structures. Our process includes customer-guided bucket tests for preliminary diagnosis. Certified technicians perform pressure testing and comprehensive inspections to minimize repair costs. Both above-ground and in-ground pool leak services include underground plumbing assessments and targeted repairs without unnecessary excavation.
Pool Openings
We offer three package tiers for seasonal pool preparation, including winter cover removal, equipment activation, and chemical balancing. Deluxe packages include two visits for thorough cleaning and chemistry adjustment. All packages feature included chemicals (excluding sanitizers) and equipment inspections. Early booking discounts apply before May 17, with specialized attention to heater systems and deck equipment installation during opening procedures.
Vinyl Liners
We install premium Merlin Industries vinyl liners with custom fits for in-ground pools. Our service includes structural repairs, component replacements, and aesthetic upgrades. Technicians provide free estimates and pattern selections through our online liner selector tool. Replacements include new face plates, gaskets, and stainless steel components. The 25-year manufacturer warranty combines with our one-season installation guarantee for comprehensive protection.
New Equipment
As a Zodiac Pool Professional Network dealer, we offer energy-efficient pumps, filters, and heating systems. Our installations include advanced saltwater sanitization, automation controls, and LED lighting solutions. Equipment packages feature extended warranties (3 years on most components) and use genuine manufacturer parts. Upgrades focus on energy savings, with variable speed pumps reducing consumption by up to 90% while improving water circulation.

They are great for hot tub chemicals but OMG the Christmas shop is the best. They have ornaments, trees, lights, wreaths, bells, seasonal clothes, Santa, Christmas countdowns, etc. It's a magical store for anyone who loves Christmas!

The ladies are very busy with getting the shop ready for Christmas. I'm going to wait another couple of week to return for all merchandise to be out. Love this shop. Great customer service

Our pool is entering its third season and has been pretty easy to maintain. However, there were several locations around the perimeter where the liner had worked its way from the track. PPP came VERY highly recommended by two neighbors (both with pools), one having had a similar problem only worse. I called PPP and arranged to have them fix our problem. They were polite, courteous, and respectfully listened to our concerns then went right to work. In less than an hour, they had the liner back in place and were on their way. They were FANTASTIC!

Great fast, friendly service from every employee working there. I would not go anywhere else. I went in on a busy Sunday morning after purchasing an above ground pool for the first time. I was treated like a long time customer. I was amazed! Everyone was nice, friendly and answered all questions I had with a smile. Exactly how a business should be run and customers should be treated.
