SEASONAL SERVICE CONTRACT •
Seasonal Pool Service Contract in
Empire Pools keeps your pool steady, clean, and low-stress all season — from the first warm stretch
near and through late-summer weekends around .
Seasonal contracts are built for real life in : changing weather, pollen and dust, heavy swim weekends, and the
“one bad week” that can turn clear water into a headache fast. We lock in a consistent visit cadence, run a repeatable checklist every time,
and track your readings so the pool stays predictable — not reactive.
What to Expect
Dialed In for Merrick’s Weather Swings, Tree Debris & South Shore Air
A seasonal contract in starts with a quick baseline on your setup — pool type, sanitizer system (chlorine or salt),
filter type, and how the yard behaves (sun/shade, trees, wind exposure). Then we build a plan that prevents problems instead of chasing them.
Each visit follows the same proven sequence: surface skim and net, brush walls/steps, vacuum pattern tuned to your pool shape, skimmer & pump
basket service, and a complete water test with on-the-spot balancing. We also do an equipment-pad scan every visit: filter pressure trend, pump
lid and unions for air draw, heater status, timers/automation, and any early signs of leaks or flow restrictions. That’s how you avoid the
“sudden cloudy pool” that usually starts with a small pressure/flow issue or chemistry drift.
For homes near , and areas that see heavier debris after wind, we can adjust the cadence
(weekly vs bi-weekly), dial in filtration/cleaning frequency, and keep output settings consistent for salt systems through heat waves.
If you’re closer to or down toward , we factor in coastal air and higher bather load
weekends — then keep sanitizer and pH stable so the water stays clear and comfortable.
You’ll also get text/photo updates after visits, plus a mid-season health check to confirm the plan is still matching your real usage.
What’s Included in a Seasonal Contract
- Weekly or bi-weekly maintenance visits planned around your access notes, yard layout, and routine.
- Skimming, brushing, and vacuuming patterns tuned to your pool shape and debris load common near and .
- Skimmer & pump basket service at every visit; filter backwash/rinse or cartridge clean based on PSI logs instead of guesswork.
- Full water testing & balancing (chlorine/salt, pH, alkalinity, conditioner, calcium) adjusted to your sun/shade mix and bather load.
- Equipment pad check: pressures, lids/unions, heater status, timers/automation, and obvious leak or air-draw issues.
- Salt system inspection, periodic cell cleaning when needed, and log of settings so output stays consistent through heat waves.
- Minor tune-ups during visits (lid o-rings, small air leaks, loose valves/handles) when we spot them as part of routine care.
- Mid-season contract review to adjust cadence if debris spikes, swim use increases, or weather shifts your demand.
- Note: Major repairs, equipment upgrades, and green-to-clean projects are quoted separately but prioritized for seasonal contract clients.
- Note: Pool opening/closing and specialty chemicals can be bundled alongside your seasonal contract or added as needed.

Seasonal Contract — FAQs
When should I lock in a seasonal contract in Merrick?
The best time is late winter through early spring, before routes fill up. That’s when we can reserve your preferred day/window and set the
plan around your pool’s real conditions (sun/shade, trees, wind). Renewing clients choose first, then remaining spots go to new contracts.
If we have availability, we can also start mid-season and price based on the remaining months/visits.
Weekly vs bi-weekly: what’s better for a Merrick pool?
Weekly is usually best if you have heavier debris, lots of swimming, or you see chemistry swings after storms. Bi-weekly can work if the yard
is cleaner and the pool is already stable. We recommend cadence based on your debris exposure and travel patterns around
/ , your filter type, and how quickly your pool drifts between visits.
Do seasonal contracts include chemicals?
The contract covers testing, balancing, and routine dosing to keep water stable. Specialty situations (like remediation after a neglected period)
and unusual, high-volume additions (for example big salt adds or uncommon stabilizer/calc needs) may be billed separately.
We always review it with you first and itemize anything outside the normal contract baseline.
What if storms or a power outage throw my pool off?
We use your latest readings and visit notes to choose the fastest path back to clear, safe water—usually filtration, targeted brushing/vac,
and chemistry correction. If extra remediation is needed, we quote it separately. Seasonal contract clients get priority when weather spikes demand.
Can you bundle openings/closings with my Merrick seasonal contract?
Yes. Many clients bundle opening/closing alongside the seasonal plan so the entire season stays consistent.
We can align start dates, the first stabilization visits, and end-of-season timing so you’re not scrambling at the beginning or end of the year.
How does billing work for a seasonal contract?
Seasonal contracts are priced for the season and set up in predictable payments. We keep a secure card on file so visits run smoothly even if
you’re not home. Any work outside the contract is discussed, approved, and itemized before anything is charged.
