What San Rafael pools deal with

San Rafael is the county seat and the biggest town on our routes. It stretches from the flats near the bay to the warmer inland valleys of Terra Linda and Lucas Valley, so two San Rafael pools a few miles apart can behave very differently.

The inland neighborhoods heat up in summer, which speeds evaporation and chlorine loss. Pools closer to the bay get more wind, and wind carries leaves and dust into the water.

Many San Rafael homes have older pump and filter equipment that predates California's variable-speed pump rules. We repair what you have or tell you plainly when replacement makes more sense.

San Rafael homes get water from Marin Water, which bills on tiered rates, so refills from evaporation or leaks land in your most expensive tier.
