Kim P.'s pool, maintained by Black Flag Pools — ★★★★★
I have used Black Flag for over a year now when they was H2O. I own a vacation rental and have had several pool service companies over the years and I have to say Ryan is the best. I get weekly photos and reports of service provided that week, which is nice being I'm not there. I can be at ease knowing my tenants on vacation have a nice well maintained pool. I highly recommend Black Flag.

Rod's pool, maintained by Black Flag Pools — ★★★★★
Outstanding pool service! A few months ago we made an excellent decision to switch pool services to Black Flag. Communication and service is second to none — no shortcuts. Our pool gets fully brushed and vacuumed every week and our equipment is inspected and adjusted as necessary. We love the detailed weekly reports with pictures and summary of services provided. If you want it done right, give Ryan and the guys a call!

Absolutely the best pool service I have ever experienced. I have had two pools previously. The difference is night and day.

Janis Tobin's pool, maintained by Black Flag Pools — ★★★★★
After about 4 different pool service companies over the past several years, Black Flag is the best pool service professionals we have ever had. Ryan and Victor provide and incorporate integrity and pride in keeping our pool sparkling clean. Our pool had stains from former pool service technicians — Ryan explained in detail the cause and treatment, applied a solution and followed up with cleaning. The stains have disappeared! They even replaced some pool equipment that quit functioning due to age. Hire Black Flag Pools. You will not be disappointed.

Lisa Landry's pool, maintained by Black Flag Pools — ★★★★★
We have loved having Black Flag Pools for our pool maintenance. They are very thorough and helpful. When I have questions, they are so easy to ask and not feel foolish. They have taken a lot of the burden of maintaining our pool from my husband and they are surely worth every penny. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Ryan is the best we've had, and we've been with 4 others. He cares about his clients and is very accommodating and thorough. We're so lucky because he is attentive to our needs and is even available to us on off-hours.

Linda Neer's pool, maintained by Black Flag Pools — ★★★★★
When we bought our home, we knew nothing about pools. The previous owner recommended Black Flag Pools. We are so happy with the service they provide. They come every week, clean our pool and send pictures, so we know they've serviced our pool. Family owned and operated. Thanks Ryan, Victor and Cheyanne — highly recommend this company!!

Membership

How to become a member.

We keep our route small and our standards high. Every pool starts with an initial visit so we know exactly what we're taking on.

Request your initial visit

Book a $150 initial cleaning & reset. Tell us about your pool — screened or open, size, salt or chlorine — and we'll schedule your first visit.

We reset your pool

Full 6-point water test, tile cleaned, vacuumed, brushed, netted, baskets emptied, filter cleaned and every piece of equipment inspected. Sign up and $75 comes back as an account credit.

III

Join the route

If your pool passes the initial visit, it earns a permanent spot on our route — weekly white-glove care from there on out.

Pool green when we arrive? You won't be charged the $150 — we'll assess it and send a quote for a full reset instead.

The Service

White glove, full spectrum.

Membership + chemicals. One rate, everything handled — tested and treated far beyond the basics most companies stop at.

Weekly visits — brushed walls & floor, netted surface, vacuumed, tile cleaned, baskets emptied, equipment inspected.
Full-spectrum testing — we test and treat phosphates, nitrates, metals, TDS and full LSI tracking. Not just chlorine and pH.
Detailed weekly reports — emailed after every visit with readings, photos and dosing, plus text alerts.
Customer portal — your pool's complete service history, any time.
Dedicated member support line — a real person who knows your pool.
Scheduled deep care — filters cleaned monthly, salt cells every 90–120 days.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What does the $150 initial visit include?

A full 6-point water test, tile cleaning, vacuum, brush, net, baskets emptied, filter cleaned and a complete inspection of all pool features and equipment. If you sign up for membership afterward, $75 is credited to your account.

What if my pool is green?

You won't be charged the $150. We'll assess the pool on-site and send you a quote for a full reset instead. Once it's recovered, it can join the route like any other pool.

How is pricing structured?

Membership rate + chemicals. Residential screened pools under 15,000 gallons are $175/month, open-environment pools under 15,000 gallons are $225/month. Rental properties are $300/month screened and $400/month open. Anything over 15,000 gallons is custom quoted. See the pricing page for the full breakdown and calculator.

What do you actually test for?

Beyond chlorine, pH and alkalinity, we test and treat the full spectrum: phosphates, nitrates, metals, TDS, and we track LSI (Langelier Saturation Index) to protect your surface and equipment long-term.

How do I know you showed up?

After every visit you receive a detailed emailed report with photos, readings and everything we dosed and did — plus text alerts. Your full history lives in the customer portal.

Who will be in my backyard?

Only CPO-certified, background-checked technicians — no felons, ever. Every tech goes through ongoing training to stay current on equipment and regulations.

Do you service vacation rentals?

Yes — it's a specialty. Rental membership includes a free emergency visit each quarter, a poolside safety sign, a dedicated text line for guests, extra filter cleanings and do-not-swim notecards after each visit. See rental property care.

Is there a contract?

Membership terms are laid out plainly in our Terms of Service. The short version: we earn your business every week.

Your pool, kept to a higher standard.
