Pool Maintenance
Our comprehensive weekly pool maintenance ensures optimal water chemistry and equipment function. Trained technicians perform six critical steps including chemical balancing, filtration checks, and debris removal. Each visit includes digital reporting with water test results and maintenance photos emailed directly to clients. This proactive approach prevents costly repairs while maintaining safe swimming conditions year-round.
Salt Systems
We install and service advanced saltwater chlorination systems that reduce chemical costs by 80%. Our systems use electrolysis to generate chlorine while maintaining low salinity levels (1/9th ocean strength). This eco-friendly solution prevents eye irritation and equipment corrosion. We offer Hayward, Pentair, and Jandy brand installations with expert troubleshooting for existing systems across Oahu.
Solar Heating
Our solar heating solutions utilize roof-mounted panels to extend swimming seasons without operating costs. Systems integrate with existing heaters and include automated temperature controls. Installation includes state tax deduction guidance. The eco-friendly design reduces fossil fuel dependence while maintaining consistent water temperatures through intelligent circulation management and nighttime heat retention.
Resurfacing
We specialize in durable ceramic tile resurfacing with a 10-year warrantythe longest in Hawaii. Our scarifier machines ensure proper surface preparation for lasting results. Alternatives include cost-effective plaster options with 10-15 year lifespans. The process addresses staining, cracks, and wear while enhancing pool aesthetics through modern material selections and precise installation techniques.
Automation Systems
We install and maintain leading automation systems including Jandy IQ-904 and Pentair EasyTouch. These systems enable remote monitoring of filtration, temperature, and chemical levels. Features include energy-efficient scheduling, real-time alerts, and integration with existing pool equipment.
