Local pool cleaning for every part of your pool, from the skimmer basket to the tile line.
Pool cleaning in Central Florida never really takes a season off. Come spring, the oak pollen puts a yellow film on everything, the pool included. By June, the afternoon storms are dumping leaves and sand in it most days. And in this heat, chlorine burns off so fast that a clear pool can go cloudy in a couple of days.
That’s where we come in. Sunwave Pool Pros is a local pool cleaning company, and we skim, brush, vacuum and balance your water so it’s ready when you are. It’s part of our full pool service in Central Florida, and you can book it every week or as a one-time cleanup.
Our pool cleaning service comes in four parts. Pick what you need, or hand us all of it.
This is the plan most of our customers are on, and it’s the one that keeps your Saturdays free. Once a week, we skim the top, empty the baskets, brush the walls and vacuum the floor. We also test the water and keep chlorine and pH in the ranges the CDC recommends. While we’re there, we check the pump and filter too, so a small problem doesn’t turn into a big bill.
Your filter catches the dirt, pollen and sand the skimmer misses. Once it clogs up, the water stops moving like it should and the pool starts looking dull. So we pull the cartridges or grids, hose them off and put it all back together. After that, your pump doesn’t have to strain and the water clears back up.
A hot tub full of warm water and a few people burns through sanitizer fast. So we clean the spa, test and balance the water, and make sure the jets are pushing water the way they should. We do this for spas attached to your pool and for stand-alone hot tubs, too.
Our hard water leaves that white, crusty calcium line right at the waterline. You know the one. The longer it sits, the harder it is to get off. We clean the tile line and take off that buildup using methods that are safe for your tile, so the pool looks sharp again.
We’re out cleaning pools across Seminole and Orange counties every week. So we know what the heat, the hard water and storm season do to a pool around here. We show up when we say we will, and we’ll tell you straight when something on your equipment pad needs fixing.
Keeping the water clean also takes the strain off your pump and filter, so they last longer. Not sure we come out your way? Check our service area.

Here are the pool cleaning questions people ask us most, plus a few that come up online all the time. Don’t see yours? Call us at (689) 312-9063.
The cost to clean out a pool depends on its size and how rough it looks. A pool that just needs a skim, brush and vacuum costs a lot less than one that's full of storm debris or already green. We'll quote your pool cleaning for free before we touch anything. Call (689) 312-9063.
The best way to clean a pool is top to bottom. Skim the surface first, then brush the walls and steps so the dirt drops to the floor. Next, vacuum it up and empty the skimmer and pump baskets. Finish by testing and balancing the water. When the filter gauge reads about 8 to 10 psi over its clean reading, clean the filter too.
The three C's of pool cleaning are circulation, cleaning and chemistry. Circulation means running the pump long enough to push all the water through the filter. Cleaning is the skimming, brushing and vacuuming. Chemistry means keeping chlorine at 1 to 4 ppm and pH at 7.0 to 7.8, per the CDC. Slack off on one and the other two can't keep up, especially in a Florida summer.
To get a pool crystal clear, keep the chemistry balanced, run the pump long enough each day and keep the filter clean. Brush and vacuum every week so dirt doesn't settle. If it's still hazy after all that, it's usually the filter. A good filter cleaning tends to clear it right up.
The cheapest way to clean a pool is to never let it get bad. A few minutes a week skimming, emptying baskets and checking chlorine costs way less than bringing back a green pool. Trust us, the priciest cleanup is always the one somebody put off.
To get pollen out of a pool, skim early and often, run the pump longer and clean the filter more than usual until the oaks settle down. A skimmer sock over the basket catches a ton of it. Around here, spring pollen floats as a yellow-green film that looks a lot like algae. If it brushes right off and doesn't cling to the walls, it's pollen.
The best way to get a pile of leaves off the bottom of a pool is a leaf rake with a deep bag. Pull out as much as you can before you vacuum, because a regular vacuum clogs fast on a big pile. Empty the skimmer and pump baskets as you go. After a big storm rolls through, we clear plenty of these. So call us if it's more than you want to deal with.
The easiest way to keep a pool clean is to put the basics on autopilot. Run the pump on a timer and let a robotic or suction cleaner work between brushings. Then keep chlorine steady with a feeder or salt system. You'll still need to brush and test every week. Or skip all that with our weekly pool service and just swim.
To clean a really dirty pool, net out the big stuff, shock the water, run the filter around the clock and brush every day. If your filter has a waste setting, vacuum to waste so the gunk doesn't go right back in. Clean the filter often, since it'll clog fast. Expect it to take a few days. If it's full-on swamp, that's exactly what our Green to Clean service is for.
To keep a pool clean in Florida heat, check chlorine more often from May through September and keep your stabilizer in range, because the sun eats chlorine fast. Run the pump longer on hot days, too. Test the water after those afternoon storms, since rain waters it down and washes in dirt. And keep an eye on the tile line, where evaporation leaves calcium behind.
