"Victor (the owner) and Aaron responded immediately. They came out the same day I called and about 2 hrs before scheduled, which worked out great. Same day appointment and finished the closing of my above ground pool all in the same day. These guys did everything for my closing, Removing ladder etc. Victor is very knowledgeable (manybyears of experience) and personable. Easy to talk to and to voice any concerns with his experienced suggestions. I have had other companies do the closing but he did the job better than all others. On top of all this his prices were GREAT! I couldn't be happier with job and price. Upon request he even scheduled me for next year's opening with an approximate date. No other pool service has done that (they want u to wait until next spring to scheduke). I will use Victor from BPS for all my pool issues from here on out."

"I had another servicing my pool for more than ten years and when they could not provide a replacement heater a friend recommended Optimum Pool Service and they came through; they got a difficult to get heater and opened and closed my pool and have been servicing it regularly for the past four seasons. They are courteous, prompt, and professional, I highly recommend Optimum Pool Service, Inc."
"Dave arrived at the property on time and from the start I appreciated his professionalism. He was very knowledgeable about the home's construction and immediately noticed safety hazards that I had overlooked upon my own, limited, cursory inspection. None of the items he pointed out were deal-breakers, but before we went into final contract I was able to get the Sellers to repair these deficiencies (loose front pavers and handrails, leaking basement sink, uneven pavers around the pool, etc.). He indicated which parts of the outdoor backyard wooden deck were subject to wood-rot and he also pointed out parts of the roof that might need a professional roofer to later address. He pointed out that the water heater was ending it's useful life (over ten years old) and his concerns about the electric panel box (wattage input and wiring) were later addressed by the Seller to my satisfaction. The professionals he brought in for the septic tank inspection utilized fiber optics, permitting a full examination of the septic tank, verifying that a new septic system had indeed been installed, correctly, as the Seller had asserted. From the darkest corner of the basement to the dimly lighted attic, Dave gave valuable insights as to the construction-quality of the house. I was very satisfied with his thorough report and the reports of the other inspectors. Without reservation, I recommend Dave Polo & Associates very much!"
"Anthony came personally for the estimate as well as the subsequent work. He was punctual and professional. He worked with me in planning out the exact work needed and he did so without compromising quality and safety. I am not saying the above lightly as I was present at the installation and can say he did some quality work. No corners were cut and he spent the time in making sure that the charger and breaker box were properly level and installed into the studs. In the panel, he and his guys even tighten up loose connections for the circuit breakers. He then make sure he cleaned out after his work. BTW, I always say you can judge a person on how he treats his employees, and on that point, he treated his guys with politeness and respect. The final price for the installation was actually lower than the estimate and Anthony insisted on taking less money (first time ever for me). I usually do not take time to write a review unless the service was exceptional, Anthony's work was exceptional in my case. I would very highly recommend. No, we are not related and I did not know Anthony prior to this work. This is a sincere review."

Install Above Ground Pools questions, answered by experts
You should always run your pool pump in freezing weather to keep the water moving. Doing so prevents the pool water from freezing and protects your pool from the damage that often comes along with frozen water. You should also run your pool pump when temperatures are approaching freezing, as a precaution. There’s no need to run a pool heater during the winter, as keeping water moving is generally enough to keep it from freezing.
There are a few differences when it comes to winterizing above- vs. inground pools. Above ground pool winterization usually involves less hassle, time, and expense than the process for winterizing an inground pool. All the lines on an above ground pool are easy to access, making draining easier. Plus, above ground pools are typically smaller, meaning cleaning is quicker, and chemicals cost less.
Yes, salt water pools are more expensive than chlorine-based pools because they require a more complex system than traditional, chlorinated pools. This added complexity means more skilled labor and a higher investment upfront. Also, if you need to repair a salt water pool, finding a contractor with the needed experience is generally more time-consuming.
The regulations for pool fence heights vary by state, so be sure to research what the legal, minimum height is in your area before purchasing or installing a fence. Though every region is different, generally a pool fence must be at least 4 and ½ feet high. If you’re unsure whether you need a fence around your pool, and how high that fence should be, contact a local pool enclosure expert to help you successfully, and safely, move forward.
Yes, pool pumps use a significant amount of electricity, making them one of the biggest energy consumers in a home. A pool pump can use up to three times as much electricity as a refrigerator. Typically, a residential pool pump consumes about 1 kilowatt-hour (kWh) for every hour it runs. Because pumps often need to run for about eight hours a day to properly filter the water, this can add up to an annual consumption of 3,000 to 5,000 kWh, which can cost between $480 and $800 per year based on average electricity rates.
The amount of electricity your pump uses depends on its size, energy efficiency, and daily run time. To lower your energy consumption, you can choose an energy-efficient or variable-speed pump, ensure it is correctly sized for your pool, and run it only for the minimum time required to keep the water clean.
