Michael Harkins has spent twenty years figuring out why pools fail—pumps that won’t prime, water that refuses to hold chlorine, filters clogged with calcium scale nobody noticed building up. As Owner and PHTA Certified Maintenance Specialist at Pristine Pools PR, he now applies that diagnostic experience to eastern Puerto Rico’s residential pools, where tropical conditions break every rule mainland pool owners learned back home. His service area covers Palmas del Mar, Humacao, and Naguabo, serving homeowners who need someone to actually show up when scheduled and explain what’s happening with their water chemistry. Michael uses photometric testing to get precise readings instead of guessing from color charts, because in 85°F water with UV index 12, close enough isn’t good enough.
