You wouldn’t run your HVAC system for months without a tune-up. So why let your pool pump, filter, and heater limp into winter without a check-in?

Pool liners don’t get nearly enough credit. They’re the backdrop to every swim, every cannonball, every lazy float. But when they start to bubble, fade, or tear, they go from background player to full-blown problem.

If your saltwater pool suddenly feels more like a science experiment than a sanctuary, your salt cell might be the culprit. Cloudy water, itchy skin, or that weird metallic smell? All signs your system’s struggling to keep up.

You know that sinking feeling when your pool water level mysteriously drops overnight? You top it off, blame evaporation, and move on. But then it happens again. And again. Spoiler alert: it’s probably not the sun. It’s a leak.

Let’s talk about the ultimate flex: a pool that doesn’t just function—it stuns. If your backyard feels more “meh” than “wow,” a pool remodel might be exactly what you need to level up your outdoor space.

September rolls in with cooler mornings, school drop-offs, and the slow disappearance of pool parties. The floats are deflated, the sunscreen’s retired, and suddenly your once-buzzing backyard feels... quiet.

But before you let your pool slip into seasonal neglect, there’s a checklist of chores that need attention—and trust us, this is not the time to ghost your water features.

I get it — when people think about pool maintenance, they picture skimming leaves, tossing in chlorine tabs, and maybe vacuuming once in a blue moon. But here’s the thing: none of that matters if your filtration system isn’t doing its job. It’s not the glamorous part of pool ownership, but it is the part that keeps your water from turning into a murky science experiment.

So let’s give pool filters the credit they deserve.

Just when you think your pool’s done showing off for the season, fall rolls in with a whole new set of headaches. The air gets crisp, the leaves start their dramatic descent, and suddenly your once-pristine pool looks like it’s hosting a forest floor reunion.

By the time August rolls around, your pool has been through it. Endless cannonballs, sunscreen slicks, mystery leaves, and maybe a flamingo float that’s now sun-faded into retirement. But before you swap poolside vibes for pumpkin spice everything, there’s one last round of responsibility: late summer pool chores.

Your pool might look calm and inviting on the surface, but underneath, it could be crying out for help. Whether you’ve had your pool for years or just opened it for the season, there are times when a little DIY won’t cut it—and that’s where we come in.

At Image Pool Service, we believe pool ownership should be more relaxing than stressful. So if your pool’s been acting up, here are five signs it’s time to call in the experts.

So, your water bill just spiked—or maybe there’s a mystery puddle you keep mopping up, only to have it reappear like clockwork. Leaks can be sneaky, silent, and surprisingly expensive if left alone. Whether it’s your backyard pool or your indoor plumbing, knowing how to spot trouble early can save a whole lot of headaches down the line.

Your pool should be the place where stress floats away—not where problems lurk beneath the surface. But sometimes, what starts as a small annoyance (like murky water or a weird noise from the pump) can turn into a costly repair if ignored too long. The good news? You don’t have to be a pool expert to catch the early warning signs.

Summer’s here, and your pool should be the star of the backyard—not a source of stress. But with warmer temps and heavier use, even the best-maintained pools can run into trouble. If you’ve noticed cloudy water, strange noises, or a pump that’s suddenly gone silent, you’re not alone. Here’s a look at the most common summer pool repairs—and how we can help you stay ahead of them.
