You want your pool to stay clean, safe, and ready for fun all season. We handle balanced water, routine cleaning, and quick repairs, so your pool in Herndon keeps sparkling without the headache.
We recommend hiring us, Dolphin Pool Services, for proper maintenance, longer equipment life, and results you can count on.
We know the local weather and the usual pool problems in Northern Virginia. Our team communicates clearly, shows up on time, and solves issues before they get expensive.
You get to relax and actually enjoy your backyard.
We keep your water clear, your equipment running, and handle seasonal opening and closing the right way. Our work includes weekly cleaning, precise chemical control, routine equipment checks, and full open/close services tailored for Virginia weather.
We remove debris, vacuum the pool, and brush the walls and tile to prevent algae and stains.
We skim the surface, empty skimmer and pump baskets, and clean or backwash filters as needed to keep the water moving well.
At every visit, we test for chlorine, pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness, and cyanuric acid. We adjust chemicals by adding chlorine, muriatic acid, sodium bicarbonate, or calcium increaser, so your pool stays safe and equipment lasts.
We log every reading and treatment. If we notice cloudy water or stubborn algae, we shock the pool or use enzyme treatments and schedule follow-ups.
We check pumps, filters, heaters, automatic cleaners, and salt systems for leaks, weird noises, and weak flow.
We inspect electrical parts and timers to prevent safety hazards and wasted energy.
When we find a minor issue, we tighten fittings, swap out worn seals, or clean impellers to get things running smoothly again.
For bigger repairs, we give you a clear estimate and explain the parts and labor before we start.
We recommend replacing parts like drive belts, cartridges, and o-rings based on how they look, not just their age. By choosing Dolphin Pool Services, you can trust repairs will meet Virginia code and help prevent repeat problems.
When we open your pool, we remove the cover, reconnect equipment, add starter chemicals, balance the water, and check for winter damage.
We clean the lines, run pumps until the water clears up and chemistry stabilizes, and make sure the heater and automation work for spring.
For closings, we lower the water, winterize plumbing and heaters, add algaecide and winter chemicals, and install a secure cover. We follow manufacturer instructions for salt systems and heaters, so your pool is safe through cold Virginia nights.
We document every step and give you a checklist so you know exactly what we did.
We focus on practical upgrades, solid repairs, and local care that keep pools safe and looking great year after year.
We handle equipment swaps, surface fixes, and seasonal plans for Herndon, Maryland, and DC pools.
We suggest replacing old pumps and filters with energy-efficient models to cut your electric bill and keep water clear.
Variable-speed pumps, high-efficiency filters, and automated chemical controllers make maintenance easier and save you money over time.
We install modern heaters, LED lights, and salt systems when they fit your pool design. These upgrades boost comfort and can lower long-term costs.
Before upgrades, we check your current flow rates and electrical setup. Then we give you a written estimate and timeline.
We handle installations to code and leave you with all the paperwork for service and warranties.
We fix cracked plaster, resurface tile lines, and repair leaks using proven materials. Shotcrete repair, replastering, and new coping solve structural problems and make your pool look better.
We match finishes to your pool’s style, whether you’ve got classic plaster or pebble. This way, you avoid weird patches and fewer future repairs.
If your equipment is old, we replace valves, heaters, and automation panels during renovation to cut down on future service calls.
We always tackle safety and water quality fixes first. Every job comes with documentation and a maintenance plan to help you protect your investment.
We understand how Herndon’s weather affects pools—freeze cycles, storms, and hard water all need a different approach.
We schedule winterization and spring startups at the right times to prevent freeze damage and algae blooms.

Trusting Dolphin Pool Services cuts risk and keeps your project moving.
We hear a lot of questions about pool cleaning, chemical balance, repairs, seasonal work, and cost.
Here’s what local pools in Herndon need and why hiring us, Dolphin Pool Services, makes a difference.
We provide weekly or biweekly cleaning, chemical testing and balancing, filter cleaning, and skimmer and pump inspections.
We also handle equipment repairs, heater service, seasonal openings and closings, and algae treatment.
Most people need service at least once a week during swim season for cleaning and chemical checks.
If your pool gets heavy use, has lots of trees nearby, or uses an automatic chemical feeder, we often suggest twice-weekly visits.
Definitely. Heavy rain can dilute chemicals and add debris, so we test and rebalance after storms.
Cold snaps and early frosts mean we have to winterize carefully to protect your pipes and equipment.
Skipping regular chemical testing can lead to scale, corrosion, or algae.
Ignoring small equipment noises or leaks can turn into expensive repairs—call us early so we can fix things before they get worse.
Cost depends on pool size, how often you want service, equipment age, and whether you need repairs or seasonal work.
Special treatments for stains, major repairs, or extra visits each week will raise the price.
Absolutely! At Dolphin Pool Services, we offer options like variable-speed pumps, salt systems, mineral sanitizers, and optimized chemical dosing. These choices help cut down on energy and chemical use.
We’ll take a look at your pool and suggest changes that lower its environmental impact. Our team always aims to keep your water safe and crystal clear, but we also care about the planet.
If you’d like to make your pool more eco-friendly, just let us know. We’re happy to help you find the right solutions.
