What should I do today if a tenant reports a green, smelly pool?
Document the condition with dated photos and notify the tenant that service is being arranged. Ask a local pro for immediate shock and cleanup, since green water usually means the pool has been neglected. Expect recovery to take days to a week or more.
Can the pool company bill me directly with invoices?
Ask the pro in writing whether they will invoice the property owner directly and list each visit separately. Request that the quote separate the one-time cleanup from the recurring weekly service. Clear line items make rental expense tracking easier.
What should I check when hiring a weekly pool service in Mesa?
Ask the pro for proof of licence and insurance before work starts. Confirm that weekly cleaning is included, since pools should be cleaned weekly to stay in top condition. Ask what chemical testing is included in each visit.
