Pink Flamingo Pool Company - Important Service Notes

​

Water Levels: Pool owner is required to maintain the water level at least halfway up the pool skimmer’s opening. If the water level is low upon arrival, the technician will turn off the skimmers or the equipment to prevent damage to system. If water levels are not adequate, service will be re-scheduled, and is subject to a $20 charge if it becomes a common occurrence.

​

Accessibility: There will be no credit issued to customers for service not provided due to locked gates, animal problems, or any other problem beyond our control that might prohibit servicing your pool or spa. If Pink Flamingo Pool Company is scheduled to clean the pool and is not able to access the backyard or is turned away for any reason, Pink Flamingo Pool Company may charge $20.00 unless a twelve-hour notice is provided and depending on the situation.

​

Excessive Debris & Storm Cleanup: All standard service is billed at a rate of 1⁄4 per hour, and any additional labor charges will be billed at a rate of $31.25 per each additional 15 minutes. Potted plants placed near the pool’s edge will be charged an excessive debris rate if any fall into pool and an additional chemical charge will be applied for phosphate removal.

​

Pets: We at Pink Flamingo Pool Company feel that our pets are a part of our family and know that our customers feel the same about their pets. The pool or spa / hot tub owner is responsible for containing and restraining pets or domestic animals when Pink Flamingo staff is on-site. Pink Flamingo Pool Company is not responsible for pet injuries due to chemical exposure or from escaping from open or unlocked closures because customer failed to keep animals restrained. If you do not have a separate fenced off area of the yard for your dogs, please see that they are either in the house or in their kennel/crate on your service day(s).

​

Cyanuric Acid Level: Pools with high levels of cyanuric acid (CYA) will be diluted to under 100 ppm. A free chlorine level greater to or equals to 7.5% of current CYA is needed for proper sanitation. Pools with CYA higher than 50 ppm will be placed on a six-month algaecide (PoolRx Cartridge or Jandy Mineral Cartridge). These two products are not included in the Purple or Pink chemical packages.

​

Missed Service Calls: In the event your service falls on a holiday, service will be rescheduled, and may be 1-3 days before or after the normal scheduled day of service. In the event of rain or inclement weather on your service day, your pool/spa will be cleaned to the extent weather permits and chemicals will be added.
