Professional Pool Service in Sonoma, CA — Done Right, Every Time

Sonoma’s warm summers and mild shoulder seasons mean your pool gets used more than most. And with so many vacation rentals and wine country estates in the area, pools here can’t afford to be neglected. A green pool or imbalanced water isn’t just an eyesore — it’s a health risk and, for rental owners, a real liability.

At Aqua Pro Pool Care, we know Sonoma pools. We understand the local climate, the seasonal debris patterns (hello, fall leaves near Glen Ellen and Kenwood), and the water chemistry challenges that come with our region. We’re not a big franchise dispatching strangers to your property. We’re your neighbors, and we treat your pool like we’d treat our own.

Whether you need weekly maintenance, a one-time cleanup before guests arrive, or help getting a green pool back to crystal clear — we’ve got you.

What’s Included in Our Pool Cleaning Service

A lot of pool service companies give you the bare minimum. We don’t think that’s good enough. Here’s what we actually do on every visit:

Pool Skimming and Surface Cleaning

We skim the entire surface of your pool to remove leaves, insects, pollen, and anything else floating on top. In Sonoma, oak leaves and seasonal debris can pile up fast — especially near properties with tree-lined yards or backing up to open land. We don’t skip the corners.

Pool Vacuuming

We vacuum the floor and walls of your pool to pick up dirt, algae spores, and sediment before they become a bigger problem. If you have an automatic pool cleaner, we check that it’s working properly and clean it out while we’re there.

Brushing Pool Walls and Steps

Algae starts on surfaces before you ever see it in the water. We brush the walls, steps, and tile line on every visit to prevent buildup and keep your pool looking sharp.

Filter Cleaning and Inspection

Your pool filter is the backbone of clean water. We inspect it every visit and clean it regularly — whether you have a sand filter, cartridge filter, or DE filter. A clogged filter means poor circulation, which means chemistry problems and murky water. We backwash and service it before that happens.

Water Testing and Chemical Balancing

This is where a lot of DIY pool owners run into trouble. Balanced water isn’t just about adding chlorine. We test for:

Free chlorine levels to keep bacteria and algae at bay
pH balance (ideally 7.4–7.6 for swimmer comfort and equipment protection)
Total alkalinity to stabilize pH and prevent wild swings
Calcium hardness to protect your plaster and equipment from scaling or corrosion
Cyanuric acid (stabilizer) to protect chlorine from breaking down in direct sunlight
Salt levels if you have a saltwater system

We adjust chemicals as needed on every visit — not just when something looks wrong.

Skimmer Basket Cleaning

We empty and clean your skimmer baskets and pump baskets every visit. A full basket cuts water flow to your pump, which shortens its life fast.

Equipment Check

We eyeball your pump, motor, and visible plumbing every time we’re there. If we spot something that looks off — unusual noise, low pressure, a small leak — we let you know right away. You won’t be surprised by a major equipment failure.

All the Pool Services We Offer in Sonoma

We offer flexible plans and one-time services to fit what you actually need.

Weekly Pool Maintenance

Our most popular plan. We visit every week to clean, test, and balance your pool. Most homeowners and vacation rental owners in Sonoma choose this plan because it keeps everything consistent. You’ll never come home (or have guests arrive) to a surprise.

Bi-Weekly Pool Service

If your pool gets lighter use, a bi-weekly plan might be all you need. We cover all the same steps — skimming, vacuuming, brushing, water testing, and chemical treatment — every two weeks.

One-Time Pool Cleaning

Need a cleanup before a party, before putting your property on the rental market, or after a long stretch without service? We offer one-time visits too. No contract needed.

Green Pool Cleanup and Algae Treatment

A green pool usually means one of two things: algae has taken over, or the water chemistry has crashed. Either way, it’s fixable. We assess the situation first — sometimes a shock treatment and proper balancing is enough; sometimes a partial or full drain and refill is the better call. We’ll tell you honestly which route makes sense for your pool.

Pool Opening Service

If your pool has been closed or covered for the off-season, we get it back into shape. That means pulling the cover, cleaning and inspecting the equipment, testing water chemistry from scratch, and bringing everything back to a safe and swimmable condition.

Pool Closing Service

Heading into cooler months or taking a break from pool use? We can close your pool properly to protect equipment and keep water from going stagnant.

Vacation Pool Care

This one’s especially important for Sonoma Valley vacation rental owners. If your property is listed on Airbnb, VRBO, or any rental platform, a neglected pool can tank your reviews fast. We offer scheduled visits while you’re away or between guest stays to keep things guest-ready.

Pool Tile and Waterline Cleaning

Calcium scale and grime build up at the waterline over time. We clean your tile and waterline to keep that band looking clean — it’s a detail that matters for vacation rental photos and curb appeal alike.

Acid Washing

If your pool surface has heavy staining, discoloration, or stubborn algae that won’t come off with brushing, acid washing can restore it. This is a more involved process, and we’ll walk you through whether it makes sense for your pool.

Drain and Refill Service

Sometimes the water chemistry gets so far out of balance — high total dissolved solids, excess cyanuric acid buildup, or persistent cloudy water — that starting fresh is the best option. We handle the full drain and refill safely and efficiently.

Pool Equipment Inspection and Pump Servicing

If your pump is running loud, your pressure gauge is reading high, or water flow seems weak, something’s wrong. We diagnose pool equipment issues and service your pump, motor, filter system, and more.

Why Sonoma Pool Owners Choose Aqua Pro Pool Care

Here’s what makes us different from the other names you’ll find when you search for pool service in Sonoma.

We’re local, not a franchise. We know Sonoma Valley. We know how fall oak leaves hit properties near Jack London State Historic Park, how the summer heat spikes in Kenwood can chew through chlorine faster than expected, and how vacation rental pools near the Sonoma Plaza area need extra attention around peak booking season.

We communicate clearly. After every visit, you know what we did, what we found, and what — if anything — needs attention. No mystery, no surprises on your bill.

We’re licensed, insured, and bonded. Pool work involves chemicals, equipment, and your property. We carry full insurance and are properly licensed so you’re protected.

We hold our work to a real standard. Our technicians are trained in water chemistry, equipment diagnosis, and safe chemical handling. We don’t just eyeball it and move on.

We offer a satisfaction guarantee. If you’re not happy with a visit, tell us and we’ll make it right. No runaround.

Flexible service plans. Weekly, bi-weekly, one-time — we work around your schedule and your pool’s actual needs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pool Service in Sonoma, CA

Most pools in Sonoma benefit from weekly service, especially during spring and summer when use is high and debris from trees and wind is constant. During cooler months with lower use, bi-weekly service often works fine. The honest answer is: it depends on your pool’s size, how much it gets used, and what’s around it (trees, landscaping, etc.). We’re happy to take a look and give you our honest recommendation — no pressure to choose the most expensive plan.

It’s more than just adding chlorine. Balanced water means getting six or seven different chemical levels right at the same time: free chlorine, pH, total alkalinity, calcium hardness, cyanuric acid, and — if you have a saltwater system — salt levels. When any of these are off, the others get harder to control. That’s why we test everything on every visit rather than just eyeballing the water and dumping in chemicals.

Actually, a strong chlorine smell often means the opposite of what people think. That smell comes from chloramines — what forms when chlorine reacts with contaminants like sweat, sunscreen, and body oils. A well-maintained pool with the right chlorine and pH balance shouldn’t have much of a smell at all. If your pool smells strongly of chlorine, the water probably needs shock treatment and a chemistry adjustment.

Often, yes. A mild to moderate algae problem can usually be treated with the right shock treatment, algaecide, and brushing — followed by filtering and chemistry correction over a few days. A severe algae bloom or a pool with very high total dissolved solids or stabilizer levels might need a partial or full drain and refill. We assess it when we arrive and tell you exactly what we’re dealing with and what it’ll take to fix it. We won’t push you toward a more expensive service than what’s actually needed.

No. Most of our customers aren’t home when we visit. As long as we have access to the pool area, we take care of everything and let you know when we’re done and what was done. If we find something that needs your input or approval — like a piece of equipment that needs repair — we’ll reach out before taking any action.

A basic pool cleaning typically covers skimming, vacuuming, and brushing — the physical cleanup. A full maintenance plan adds water testing, chemical balancing, filter inspection, equipment checks, and ongoing monitoring. For most pool owners, the full maintenance plan is worth it because chemistry problems that go unchecked lead to algae, equipment damage, and expensive fixes down the road. We offer both, and we’re upfront about the difference so you can choose what actually fits your situation.

Absolutely. We offer a chemical-only service plan for homeowners who want to handle the physical cleaning themselves but prefer to have a CPO-certified professional manage the water chemistry. It’s a great option if you’re comfortable with the manual side but want the peace of mind that comes from having someone who knows what they’re doing handle the chemistry.

Fantastic service! The pool is always clean, I love the email and photo confirmation of all the details of the cleaning, any repairs are promptly done — overall absolutely excellent service. I highly recommend it!

Vinnie S., Petaluma, CA

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!
