About Pristine Pools PR
Mainland pool care protocols don’t work here. Puerto Rico’s UV index burns through chlorine in hours, not days. Algae grows year-round. Afternoon storms dump acidic rain into your water weekly. We built our service around these realities—with testing methods, chemical targets, and maintenance schedules adapted specifically for tropical conditions.

FAQs
Weekly service is essential in Puerto Rico's tropical climate. Year-round temperatures of 85-90°F create continuous algae growth conditions, while UV exposure degrades chlorine within hours. Bi-weekly service leaves too much time for water chemistry to drift and algae to establish—by the time you see green, the problem is already serious.
Every visit includes surface skimming, vacuuming, wall brushing, basket emptying, photometric water testing, chemical adjustment, filter inspection, and equipment checks. Chemicals are included in your monthly rate—we don't charge extra for them. You'll receive a digital water chemistry report after each service confirming exactly what we tested and adjusted.
Green pools result from algae growth when chlorine levels drop below effective sanitization. In Puerto Rico, this happens fast—UV index levels of 10-12 can deplete unstabilized chlorine within 2-3 hours. Common causes include low CYA (cyanuric acid) levels, inconsistent service visits, filter problems, or simply being away for two weeks without maintenance.
No. We operate month-to-month with no lock-in contracts. You can cancel anytime—though most clients stay because consistent weekly service keeps their pool in better condition than they've ever experienced. We do offer an annual payment discount if you prefer to pay upfront, but it's entirely optional.
We use the WaterLink SpinTouch photometric testing system—the same laboratory-grade technology used by commercial facilities. It tests 10+ parameters simultaneously with digital precision, eliminating the guesswork of color-matching test strips. After each visit, you receive a detailed report showing exact readings and what adjustments we made.
Both work well when properly maintained. Saltwater systems offer gentler water and lower ongoing chemical costs, but require specialized maintenance most local providers can't deliver. Traditional chlorine gives you more direct control over sanitization. We maintain both types and can help you evaluate whether conversion makes sense for your situation.
