Is your pool trying to tell you something?
Even if you skim the surface and add chlorine regularly, pools in Alpharetta and the surrounding communities can still show signs of deeper issues that only a pro can fix. Knowing what to look for can help you avoid costly repairs, protect your equipment, and keep your water safe and swim-ready year-round.
Here are seven signs it’s time to call in Top Notch Pool Management for a professional cleaning:
1. Cloudy or Green Water
If your pool water isn’t clear and blue, something’s off. Cloudy, discolored, or green water usually means an imbalance in your pool’s chemistry—or worse, an early sign of algae growth.
Professional cleaning can restore water clarity and rebalance your system before problems get worse.
2. Algae That Keeps Coming Back
Scrubbing and shocking your pool but still seeing green? Recurring algae is often a sign of poor circulation, filtration failure, or hidden nutrient buildup.
We don’t just treat algae—we prevent it from returning by addressing the root cause.
3. Slippery or Slimy Surfaces
If your pool steps, walls, or floor feel slick, it’s a red flag. Bacteria, algae, or biofilm could be building up and spreading.
Professional brushing, vacuuming, and chemical balancing can eliminate slippery hazards fast.
4. Strong Chlorine Smell or Eye Irritation
Ironically, a powerful chlorine smell doesn’t mean your pool is clean—it often means your water is imbalanced and full of chloramines (used-up chlorine).
If swimmers are complaining about stinging eyes or skin, it’s time for a reset.
5. Persistent Stains on Walls or Floor
Brown, green, or white stains that won’t scrub away? These can come from mineral deposits, algae, or imbalanced pH.
A professional pool tech can identify the cause and treat stains without damaging your surface.
6. Loud or Strange Equipment Noises
Is your pump whining, grinding, or sounding different than usual? That’s a sign your system is under stress—often from debris, blockages, or water chemistry issues.
Early intervention saves your equipment from long-term damage.
7. Rapid Water Loss
If your water level keeps dropping and it’s not due to heat or splash-out, you could have a leak—or a circulation problem.
We’ll inspect and rule out leaks, check valves and seals, and restore proper function.
