Pool maintenance
Sometimes creating the immaculate pool you deserve means starting fresh.
A drain and restart is a two to three day job with one chance to get it right, so we handle every step, from confirming the drain is actually necessary to balancing the fresh water from zero.
We test total dissolved solids, cyanuric acid, calcium hardness, and pH to confirm a drain is genuinely the right call. If balancing can still rescue the water, we tell you that instead.
An empty shell can shift or crack if groundwater is high or the ground is too hot. We check conditions and schedule the drain for the safest window, then work quickly while the pool is empty.
Water leaves at a controlled rate to the correct discharge point, protecting your landscaping and complying with local water conservation and runoff rules.
We pump the pool all the way down, including standing water in the deep end and main drain, so nothing old is left to dilute the fresh fill.
With the shell exposed we clean the plaster, pebble, and steps, treating the scale and staining that simply cannot be reached with the pool full.
The waterline tile is scrubbed free of calcium scale and buildup. This is the single biggest visual difference most homeowners notice after a restart.
We document cracks, delamination, hollow spots, and failing grout while everything is visible, and review anything we find with you before a drop of water goes back in.
We manage the refill, then balance chlorine, pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness, and stabilizer from zero, so the water is correct on day one instead of chased for weeks.
You get the before and after water chemistry, everything we found on the surface, and a short care plan for the first few weeks of the new water.
Sometimes things can get out of control. A week of travel could mean a frightening surprise on your return. Trusting the wrong San Diego pool company to balance your chemicals can go wrong. It happens; we’ve seen it. We’ve also transformed unsafe pools into immaculate oases through our pool draining and restart service. If your pool water just won’t clear or your chemicals are hopelessly out of balance, we can help.
Chemicals keep your swimming pool’s water crystal clear and swim-ready. However, they must remain balanced, or things can quickly deteriorate. Too far toward one side of the pH spectrum or the other and your pool could become unsanitary or even unsafe. Some of the potential dangers of out-of-balance pool chemicals include: • Scaling on pool walls, steps, handrails, and inside equipment • Algal blooms • Mold growth • Cloudy, hazy, unsafe water • Potentially serious health impacts Concerned your pool chemicals are out of balance? We can quickly test and then act to address the situation. In some cases, adjusting the balance is possible. In others, a drain and restart is the only option.

Cabana pools has been doing a great job taking care of our pool for almost two years. They helped us clean our pool after ducks moved in for a few months and recently Curtis helped us get on top of an algae bloom immediately. Curtis immediately identified the problem, treated our pool, and returned to clean our filters so we were back in action in no time. Highly recommend their pool service to anyone in Fallbrook.
After a week of triple-digit temperatures, we noticed algae starting to form on the walls of our pool. We called Cabana, and they came out the next morning to do a full algae treatment and shock service. They brushed every surface, backwashed the filter, and rebalanced all the chemicals. By the next day, our water was perfectly clear again. I can't recommend them enough for San Diego pool algae removal and prevention.
Sean has been cleaning our pool for over a year now. Prior to Sean, we didn't have an entire summer without algae. Since, he's been our guy, the pool has been sparkling clean. The best part is that I don't even have to think about my pool as a chore anymore :)
I really appreciate Fernando's attention to detail, especially getting the algae off of the grout between tiles. Also, when we had our filter cleaned by a different technician, it had a small leak when reassembled, which Fernando noticed and fixed right away.
Jamison troubleshooted our pump circulation. The skimmer had been closed somehow and the water did not circulate, hence the green water. Thank you Jamison. You saved our pool.
I’ve used Cabana Pool Service here in Roseville for almost a year now, and they’ve completely transformed my pool. When I first called, my water was cloudy and the filter system wasn’t working properly. Their team came out, replaced the filter, cleaned the pool thoroughly, and got everything running smoothly again. They now handle my regular pool cleaning and maintenance every month, and the results are perfect. If you live in Johnson Ranch, Rancho Cordova, or anywhere in Roseville and need reliable pool service near me, these are the people to call.
