Weekly route
Weekly Pool Service
Brushing, skimming, baskets, pH and chlorine, filter pressure and a full equipment check, with an emailed report every week.
Chapter 01
Nine checks, every visit, in the same order
Every Lakeside visit works down one list: brush the walls and tile line, skim the top and bottom of the pool, vacuum if necessary, empty the baskets, balance pH and chlorine, check filter pressure, backwash if necessary, check the equipment for leaks and damage, and check the water level.
North Valley heat is hard on a pool. Water level drops, chemistry shifts and debris loads the baskets between visits, so the list is built around the things that change from one week to the next. Brushing the tile line keeps scale from settling where the water meets the stone, and the skim and the baskets keep leaves and monsoon debris off the filter.
Filter pressure and the leak check do the quiet work. A pump straining against a full basket or a dirty filter is the early warning Tony wants to see on a route stop in Paradise Valley or Scottsdale, before it turns into a repair. Vacuuming and backwashing happen when the pool needs them, not by habit.

The service report arrives in your inbox
Lakeside routes run on Skimmer, pool route software that keeps detailed service logs and sends a service report to your email after each visit. There are no paper drop slips left in your backyard and no route book to lose.
Customers notice the photos. Bert Honigman, who has lived in Desert Hills for over 20 years, thanked Tony for "clear explanations and actual photos of the maintenance you perform."
Emilie Papageorgiou says Tony "always sends structured and detailed reports about each service, including picture." That report is the record of your pool, week by week.
Chapter 03
Billing, autopay and the twice-a-year filter clean
Billing goes out at the beginning of the following month and is due by the 25th. Autopay customers are charged on the 20th. Payments run through Stripe, with autopay and card-on-file options, and Lakeside also takes cash, check, credit and debit.
Most DE and cartridge filters should be cleaned twice a year. That is an additional charge, and it depends on the type and size of the filter.
The weekly price isn't published, because it depends on the pool. Call Tony at (480) 363-6158 for a quote anywhere along the Paradise Valley, Scottsdale and Carefree routes.
