Pool Chemical Service
Expert water chemistry management to keep your pool safe, clear, and comfortable. Professional testing and chemical balancing by a CPO-certified technician.
Why Water Chemistry Matters
Pool water chemistry is not just about keeping the water looking clear. Proper chemical balance protects your family’s health by maintaining effective sanitizer levels that eliminate harmful bacteria and pathogens. It ensures swimmer comfort by preventing the eye irritation, skin dryness, and unpleasant odors that come from improperly balanced water. It protects your equipment by preventing corrosive or scale-forming conditions that damage pumps, heaters, filters, and plumbing. It preserves your pool surfaces by stopping etching, staining, and deterioration of plaster, tile, and other finishes. And it saves you money over time by preventing the costly damage that results from neglected chemistry.
What We Test and Manage
At every service visit, we test and adjust key water chemistry parameters including free chlorine and combined chlorine levels, pH, total alkalinity, calcium hardness, cyanuric acid (stabilizer), and salt levels for saltwater pools. We use professional-grade testing equipment for accurate readings and make precise adjustments based on the results.
Hawaii’s Unique Chemistry Challenges
Hawaii’s intense tropical sun breaks down chlorine faster than in cooler climates, requiring more careful stabilizer management. Year-round warm water temperatures accelerate algae growth and chemical consumption. Heavy rainfall events can dramatically shift water chemistry in a single afternoon. Trade winds carry salt, dust, and organic debris into your pool. These factors make professional chemistry management especially important for Hawaii pool owners.
Our Chemical Service Approach
We do not just dump chemicals and leave. Every visit includes thorough testing, calculated adjustments, and documentation. We track your pool’s chemistry trends over time, which allows us to anticipate needs and prevent problems rather than simply reacting to them. Owner Paul Costello is CPO certified, bringing over 25 years of professional-level knowledge of water chemistry to every pool we service.
Algae Prevention
In Hawaii’s warm climate, algae is a constant threat. Our proactive approach to water chemistry keeps sanitizer levels and water balance in the range that prevents algae from gaining a foothold. Prevention is always easier and less expensive than treatment.
Service Options
Chemical service is included as part of our regular weekly pool maintenance plans. If you need standalone chemical management or a one-time water chemistry correction for a pool that has gotten out of balance, contact us at 808-399-4388 to discuss your situation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should pool water be tested?
We test at every weekly visit using professional-grade equipment. For pools with heavy use or after significant weather events, more frequent testing may be needed.
Are pool chemicals safe for my family?
When properly balanced, pool water is safe for swimming. We maintain levels within the safe range at every visit.
What causes cloudy water?
Cloudiness can result from inadequate sanitizer, high pH, poor filtration, algae beginning to grow, or high calcium levels. We diagnose the cause and treat accordingly.
Do you use chlorine or other sanitizers?
Most pools use chlorine-based sanitizers. We also service saltwater pools and can discuss the differences.
What should I do after heavy rain?
Heavy rain dilutes chemicals and can introduce contaminants. Avoid swimming until proper sanitizer levels are restored. Call us if your pool looks significantly different after a storm.
Why does my pool water sometimes irritate eyes and skin?
Eye and skin irritation is usually caused by improper pH or high chloramine levels, not by chlorine itself. Proper water balancing eliminates these issues.
