Why Petaluma Homeowners Choose Aqua Pro Pool Care
Here’s the honest answer: most pool complaints we hear from new customers are about the same things. The previous company would miss visits without notice. The water chemistry was always off. Nobody explained what was going on. Equipment problems went unspoken until something broke.
We built Aqua Pro Pool Care around fixing exactly that.
We’re licensed and insured. We hold a California C-53 Pool Contractor License and CPO (Certified Pool Operator) certification. That’s not just paperwork. It means we know what we’re doing and you’re protected.
We’re local. We’re based right here in Sonoma County. We know the local climate, the water conditions, and the neighborhoods. We’re not a franchise sending out whoever’s available.
We communicate. After every visit, you’ll know what we did and what we found. If something needs attention, you’ll hear about it before it becomes a costly repair.
We show up. Consistency matters. A pool that’s serviced regularly and properly stays healthy with far less drama than one that gets sporadic attention.
We’ve built our reputation visit by visit. Our 5-star reviews on Google, Yelp, and Nextdoor come from real Petaluma customers, not a marketing campaign. We’re proud of that.
We’re also a family-owned and operated business. When you call us, you’re talking to people who care about the quality of the work, not just the volume of accounts.

What Our Pool Service in Petaluma Includes
Most pool companies hand you a vague list of tasks and call it a day. Here’s exactly what we do on every visit.
Weekly and Bi-Weekly Pool Cleaning
Each service visit covers what your pool actually needs to stay clean and safe:
- Skimming debris from the surface and emptying skimmer and pump baskets
- Brushing pool walls, steps, and the waterline to stop algae before it starts
- Vacuuming the pool floor to remove settled dirt and debris
- Water testing for chlorine, pH, total alkalinity, calcium hardness, and cyanuric acid levels
- Chemical balancing using chlorine, pH balancer, algaecide, clarifier, or shock treatment as needed
- Checking your pool equipment including the pump, filter, and heater for anything that looks off
- Backwashing the filter when pressure levels call for it
We leave notes after every visit so you know what we found and what we did. No guessing.
Pool Water Treatment and Chemical Balancing
Water chemistry is tricky. Most people don’t realize how quickly things can swing out of range, especially in Sonoma County’s climate where warm stretches in spring and fall can spike algae growth fast.
We test for all the numbers that matter: free chlorine, combined chlorine, pH, total alkalinity, calcium hardness, cyanuric acid, and phosphate levels. When something’s off, we fix it on the spot. We work with both traditional chlorine systems and saltwater systems.
If your water keeps going green, or you can’t figure out why your eyes are burning even though the chlorine looks fine, call us. Nine times out of ten it’s a pH or combined chlorine issue that’s easy to fix once you know what to look for.
Pool Equipment Repair
We diagnose and repair the most common equipment issues Petaluma pool owners deal with:
- Pool pump problems (low flow, loud noise, won’t prime)
- Pool filter cleaning and cartridge or D.E. media replacement
- Pool heater service and repair
- Variable-speed pump upgrades
- Automatic pool cleaner issues
- Plumbing leaks and valve repair
- Salt cell cleaning and inspection
If your equipment needs replacing, we’ll tell you honestly rather than just slapping a band-aid on it. We install quality brands like Pentair, Jandy, and Polaris.
Pool Algae Removal and Green Pool Treatment
A green pool isn’t just ugly. It can become a health hazard fast if left untreated. If you’ve come home to a swamp, we can fix it.
We do a full pool shock treatment, brush down every surface, adjust the chemistry, and run the system until the water is clear again. Depending on how bad things are, we may need to do a partial drain and refill. We’ll walk you through what happened and how to keep it from coming back.
Pool Opening and Closing Service
Planning ahead is a big deal in Petaluma. We offer full seasonal pool opening and closing services to get your pool swim-ready in spring and properly winterized before the cold months. This includes full equipment inspection, filter cleaning, chemical startup treatment, and a check of all your plumbing.
Spa and Hot Tub Maintenance
Hot tubs need more frequent water changes than most people expect. We recommend draining and refilling every 3 to 4 months, and more often if the tub gets heavy use. We handle that as part of our recurring service routes, and we test and balance the chemistry every visit.
Pool Drain, Refill, and Tile Cleaning
Sometimes a full drain is the right call. If your cyanuric acid levels are too high (a common issue in pools that get lots of sunshine and chemical use), or you’re dealing with calcium buildup on the tile and waterline, a drain and refill resets everything. We do the job start to finish, including acid washing the tile and scrubbing calcium deposits off the waterline.
Pool Safety Inspection
If you’ve recently bought a home in Petaluma with an existing pool, or you haven’t had your equipment checked in a while, a safety inspection is worth it. We check every major component: pump, filter, heater, salt cell, plumbing, valves, electrical connections, and more. You get a written report of what we found.

Pool Service FAQs for Petaluma Homeowners
Usually it’s one of three things: the chlorine level has dropped too low, the pH is too high (which makes chlorine far less effective even when there’s plenty of it), or there’s too much phosphate in the water feeding the algae. Sometimes it’s all three at once. A lot of Petaluma pools deal with this in spring when temperatures rise and the pool hasn’t been used much over winter. We can fix it quickly and show you what caused it.
Most residential pools in Petaluma do best with weekly service. This keeps the chemistry stable, stops algae before it can take hold, and catches small equipment issues early. Bi-weekly service works for pools with lower use and good covers, but it requires more chemical adjustments per visit and leaves more room for things to drift out of balance. We’ll look at your setup and give you an honest recommendation.
Honestly? You can maintain a pool yourself if you’re willing to test the water at least twice a week, learn the chemistry, and keep up with brushing, vacuuming, and equipment checks. Many people start that way and eventually decide it’s more time and hassle than they expected. The bigger issue is that most DIY problems we see come from testing inconsistently or reacting to one number without looking at the full picture. One change in pH affects how your chlorine works. Calcium hardness affects your surfaces. These things interact. That’s why a trained eye makes a real difference.
Pool service pricing varies depending on pool size, frequency, and what’s included. Monthly costs for regular service in the Petaluma area typically start around $150 to $250 for weekly cleaning, with additional charges for chemicals, filter cleaning, and any repairs. We give you a clear quote before we start, with no surprises. Contact us for a free estimate based on your specific pool.
Yes. We hold a California C-53 Pool Contractor License, which is the state-required license for pool service and construction work in California. We’re also fully insured and bonded. This matters more than people think. If an unlicensed technician damages your equipment or causes a water loss, you may have very little recourse. Always verify licensing before hiring anyone to work on your pool.
Generally, if a pump or filter is over 10 to 12 years old and needs a major repair, replacement usually makes more sense financially. Modern variable-speed pumps are also significantly more energy efficient, so an upgrade often pays for itself over time. We’ll always tell you which option makes more sense for your situation, not just the one that costs more. If a repair will hold for another few years, we’ll say so.
Yes. This is actually pretty common, especially when homeowners take over a property or have had a service disruption. Depending on the condition of the water and equipment, we may recommend a deep clean, a pool shock treatment, a partial or full drain and refill, and a full equipment inspection. We’ll assess things first and give you a clear plan before any work starts.

Our pool is a bit older and was in terrible shape. James was able to bring it back to life in a short period of time and make it beautiful again. His attention to detail separates him from other pool companies I've used in the past!
