Pool Service in Cotati, CA | Aqua Pro Pool Care
If you own a pool in Cotati, you already know the drill. The warm Sonoma County summers are beautiful — but they’re also when your pool works hardest, your chlorine burns off fastest, and algae loves to show up uninvited. And during the cooler months? Neglect catches up fast.
That’s where Aqua Pro Pool Care comes in. We’re a locally owned pool service company based right here in Cotati, CA, and we take care of residential and commercial pools across Sonoma County. From weekly maintenance to green pool rescues, we handle the work so your pool stays clean, safe, and ready whenever you want to use it.

Why Cotati Homeowners Choose Aqua Pro Pool Care
There’s no shortage of pool companies in Sonoma County. Here’s why our customers stay with us.
You Get the Same Technician Every Visit
This is a bigger deal than most people realize. When you have a different face at your pool every week, nobody builds knowledge of your system. Nobody catches the subtle sign that your pump is working harder than it should, or that your filter pressure has been creeping up.
At Aqua Pro, you’re assigned a dedicated technician who learns your pool. They know your equipment, your water’s behavior, and what “normal” looks like for your specific pool. That consistency is how problems get caught early — before they become expensive.
We’re Certified and Fully Insured
Our technicians hold CPO certification (Certified Pool Operator), which means we’ve been trained and tested on water chemistry, sanitation, equipment, and safety. We’re also bonded and insured, so you have real protection if anything ever goes wrong.
We operate in compliance with California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) requirements. You can verify that before you ever sign anything with us.
No Hidden Fees
You’ll know the price before we start. Chemicals are included in our service plans — we don’t show up and then add on a chemicals surcharge after the fact. If we find a repair issue during an inspection, we tell you about it and get your approval before doing anything.
Free Water Testing
Not sure what’s going on with your pool? Bring us a water sample or let us come out. We’ll test it and give you a clear picture of where things stand, no charge.

What’s Included in Our Pool Service
We don’t just skim the surface (well, we do that too). Every visit covers the full picture — your water chemistry, your equipment, your filters, and everything in between.
Weekly Pool Maintenance
Our weekly pool service is built for homeowners who want a consistently clean pool without spending their weekends on it. Here’s what we do at every scheduled visit:
- Water chemistry testing and balancing — we test free chlorine, pH, total alkalinity, calcium hardness, cyanuric acid levels, and total dissolved solids (TDS). Then we adjust what’s off.
- Skimming and debris removal — leaves, bugs, and anything else that doesn’t belong in your water.
- Pool vacuuming — bottom and walls, so sediment doesn’t build up or cloud your water.
- Tile brushing and waterline cleaning — this prevents calcium scale from setting in, which is a bigger deal in Sonoma County’s hard water.
- Filter inspection and backwash — whether you have a DE filter, cartridge filter, or sand filter, we check it and clean it as needed.
- Pump and equipment inspection — we’re looking at your pump, valves, and overall system every week so small issues don’t turn into expensive repairs.
- Chemical treatment — chlorine tablets, shock, algaecide, clarifier, and pH balancers as needed. No surprise chemical bills.
You’ll know exactly what was done after each visit. We send a service summary so you’re never left guessing about your pool’s condition.
Pool Chemical Treatment and Water Balancing
Water chemistry is where most DIY pool owners run into trouble. It’s not just about throwing in chlorine. Your pool water needs proper pH (ideally 7.4 to 7.6), balanced alkalinity, correct calcium hardness, and stabilized cyanuric acid levels — all working together.
When those levels are off, you get cloudy water, skin irritation, algae growth, and accelerated wear on your equipment and plaster. We use digital water testers on every visit, not just test strips, so the readings are accurate.
For saltwater pools in Cotati and the surrounding area, we also monitor your salt chlorinator output and cell condition. Salt pools aren’t maintenance-free — they still need regular water balance checks and occasional manual adjustments.
Filter Cleaning and Backwash
Your pool filter is the first line of defense against cloudy water. A clogged or dirty filter can’t do its job — and in Sonoma County, between the wind, oak trees, and warm weather, filters fill up faster than people expect.
We clean and backwash filters as needed during weekly visits, and we recommend a full deep-clean service once or twice a year depending on your pool’s usage and the surrounding environment.
Algae Treatment and Green Pool Cleanup
Woke up to a green pool? It happens, and it’s usually fixable without draining. We’ve cleaned up plenty of green pools in Cotati, Rohnert Park, and across the North Bay.
The process typically involves a heavy shock treatment, algaecide application, brushing every surface, and running the filter continuously until the water clears. Depending on how far things have gone, it may take one or a few visits. We’ll give you an honest assessment upfront.
Pool Opening and Closing (Seasonal Service)
If you’re opening your pool for the season or shutting it down before winter, we handle the full process — checking equipment, balancing chemicals, cleaning the pool, and making sure everything is ready to run safely.
One-Time Pool Cleaning
Not ready for a weekly plan? No problem. We offer one-time pool cleanings for homeowners who need a fresh start, are putting a home on the market, or just got back from a long trip to find their pool in rough shape.
Commercial Pool Service
We service commercial pools for property managers, HOAs, and businesses in Cotati and the surrounding Sonoma County area. Commercial pools come with higher foot traffic, stricter health department requirements, and greater chemical demands. We know how to manage that.
A Word About Sonoma County Pool Care
Pools in the North Bay have some specific challenges worth knowing about.
Hard water. Sonoma County water tends to be harder than coastal areas. That means calcium scale builds up on your tile and waterline faster. Regular tile brushing and keeping your calcium hardness in range (ideally 200 to 400 ppm) prevents the kind of buildup that requires expensive acid washing later.
Oak trees and wind. If you have trees near your pool, debris gets in faster than you’d think. This puts more pressure on your skimmer baskets and filter. More frequent cleaning helps.
Warm, dry summers. Cotati gets warm. That heat speeds up chlorine demand and algae growth. During July and August, pools that look fine on Monday can turn green by Friday if the chemistry isn’t managed correctly.
Wildfire smoke. It’s a reality of living in Sonoma County. Heavy smoke can affect your pool’s pH and add particulate matter to the water. We keep an eye on this during fire season.
We’ve been servicing pools in this specific climate and geography long enough to know what works here — not just what works in a textbook.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most pools do best with weekly service, especially during the warmer months from May through October. During that stretch, chlorine burns off fast, algae growth is at its peak, and debris from wind and trees adds up quickly. Monthly service might stretch far enough in cooler months for lightly-used pools, but weekly is the standard for good reason. We’ll give you an honest recommendation based on your specific setup.
Pricing depends on the size of your pool, the type of service, and how often you want visits. Weekly maintenance plans typically run between $150 and $300 per month for most residential pools in the Cotati and Rohnert Park area. We offer free water testing and a free quote, so you’ll know exactly what you’re looking at before committing to anything.
Yes. Our weekly maintenance plans include the cost of chemicals. That means chlorine, shock, pH adjusters, algaecide, and other treatments are covered. You won’t get a separate bill for chemicals after every visit. The only exception would be a major one-time treatment like an acid wash or a large green pool cleanup, which we’d price separately and discuss with you upfront.
Usually, yes. A green pool is almost always caused by algae, which can be treated with a combination of shock, algaecide, brushing, and running your filter. We start there before recommending a drain and refill. Draining a pool comes with its own risks, including plaster damage if the pool sits empty too long in warm weather, so it’s not our first move. We’ll tell you honestly what it will take after assessing the situation.
Sort of. Saltwater pools use a salt chlorinator to generate chlorine, so you’re not adding chlorine tablets directly. But they still need weekly water chemistry checks. The pH tends to drift high in saltwater pools, and calcium hardness and cyanuric acid still need to stay in range. The salt cell itself needs to be checked and cleaned periodically too. It’s not a “set it and forget it” situation — it just changes what the maintenance looks like. We’re experienced with both systems.
Yes. After every service, you’ll get a summary that tells you what was done, your water’s current chemistry levels, and anything we noticed that needs attention. We think it’s important for you to know what’s happening with your pool, not just trust that someone showed up and did something.
We do. We work with property managers, HOAs, and businesses that need reliable, compliant pool maintenance. Commercial pools have higher chemical demands, more regulatory requirements, and less tolerance for cloudy or unsafe water. We handle the service with that in mind.

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!
