Why do people have pools in the first place? The promise of fun, cooling off, relaxing and enjoying time with friends and family. What dims in comparison to the bright glow of good times is the work involved in getting to experience that fun, relaxation and enjoyment. Having a pool takes work to clean and service, costing homeowners valuable belly-flop time.
Pool Scouts gives back the gift of time. Our technicians are trained – and trained again – in testing, monitoring, treating and servicing pools so customers don’t have to do it themselves. With ongoing service as well as help at the beginning and end of the swimming season, we make sure pools are always swim-ready!
Why Pool Scouts?
The pool service industry is poised to clean up.
With more than 10 million residential pools in the USA, the need for quality pool service is evident. Many homeowners, tired of the DIY-route (and not necessarily successful at it) are looking for professionals to relieve the burden of home-care, and specifically pool service and care. For stressed-out owners, just looking at a pool is no fun, especially when it’s unclear what lurks at the bottom of it. Pool Scouts service makes jumping back in irresistible.
We guarantee Perfect Pools, Scout’s Honor!
