Professional Pool Brushing & Skimming Services

Keep Your Pool Surfaces Clean and Algae-Free

At McCool's Pools, we understand that regular brushing and skimming are essential foundations of proper pool maintenance. Our experienced technicians provide thorough brushing and skimming services with every weekly visit, preventing algae growth, removing debris, and keeping your pool surfaces pristine. With nearly two decades of experience in the desert environment, we know exactly how to combat the unique challenges Arizona pools face from dust storms, pollen, and intense sunlight.

Comprehensive Brushing & Skimming Services

Complete Pool Brushing

Our technicians thoroughly brush all pool surfaces during every service visit, including walls, steps, benches, and the floor. This critical maintenance step disrupts algae spores before they can take hold, removes dirt and debris that adheres to surfaces, and keeps your pool finish looking its best. We use professional-grade brushes designed specifically for your pool's surface type, whether plaster, pebble, or tile, ensuring effective cleaning without damage.

Professional Surface Skimming

Desert living means constant airborne debris—from dust and pollen to leaves and insects. Our comprehensive skimming service removes all floating debris from your pool's surface before it sinks to the bottom or clogs your filtration system. We skim the entire pool surface, paying special attention to areas where debris accumulates, ensuring your water stays crystal clear and inviting.

Tile Line Attention

The tile line is where oils, sunscreen, and calcium deposits accumulate most rapidly. During each brushing service, we give special attention to your tile line, preventing buildup that can become difficult to remove. Regular tile line brushing keeps this highly visible area looking clean and prevents the need for expensive deep cleaning or acid washing services.

Why Professional Brushing & Skimming Matters

Prevents Algae Growth

Regular brushing is your first line of defense against algae. By disrupting algae spores before they can attach and multiply, consistent brushing prevents the costly and time-consuming problem of green pool water. This proactive approach keeps your pool swimmable and beautiful year-round.

Protects Your Pool Surface

Allowing dirt, algae, and mineral deposits to accumulate on your pool surfaces can cause permanent staining and etching. Our regular brushing service protects your investment in your pool finish, preventing damage that could require expensive resurfacing down the road.

Reduces Chemical Usage

Clean surfaces mean your pool chemicals work more efficiently. When algae and biofilm are prevented through regular brushing, you need fewer shock treatments and algaecides, saving money on chemical costs while maintaining safer, more balanced water chemistry.

Our Brushing & Skimming Process

Every weekly service includes our thorough cleaning protocol:

  1. Initial surface inspection for problem areas or staining
  2. Complete skimming of the entire pool surface
  3. Systematic brushing of all walls from top to bottom
  4. Thorough brushing of steps, benches, and seating areas
  5. Special attention to tile line and water line areas
  6. Corner and crevice cleaning where debris accumulates
  7. Final inspection to ensure complete coverage

Areas We Focus On During Each Visit

Benefits of Regular Brushing & Skimming

Crystal Clear Water

Consistent debris removal and surface brushing keeps your water sparkling clean and inviting. No one wants to swim in a pool with floating leaves or visible dirt on the walls—our regular service ensures your pool is always ready for enjoyment.

Extended Equipment Life

Removing debris before it reaches your filtration system reduces strain on your pump and filter. Less debris means longer filter runs, reduced backwashing frequency, and extended equipment lifespan, saving you money on repairs and replacements.

Prevents Staining

Organic debris and mineral deposits can cause permanent staining if left on pool surfaces. Our regular brushing prevents these materials from bonding with your pool finish, keeping your surfaces looking newer for longer.

Safer Swimming Environment

Clean surfaces mean fewer places for bacteria to hide and multiply. Combined with proper chemical balance, our thorough brushing service contributes to a healthier, safer swimming environment for your family.
