Initial Start Up — There may be additional fees charged based on the time and materials required to prepare the pool for regular maintenance. The estimate for this maintenance will be provided prior to commencing weekly maintenance.

Pool Operating Equipment and Condition — Our ability to deliver the services agreed is contingent upon the customer keeping the pool and all its equipment in proper working order. If there are equipment failures or deficiencies, Gold Medal Pools will notify customer and offer to send a certified technician to diagnose the problem and provide estimated cost of repair.

Filter Cleaning Schedule — Filter cleanings are necessary for all residential swimming pools.Filter manufacturers, swimming pool builders, and home warranty providers require regular filter cleanings to ensure their filter warranties are not voided. A typical recommended filter cleaning schedule is every 4 months. Proper filter cleanings typically pay for themselves just by providing electrical savings alone. Filter cleanings also save our customers money by extending the life of their pool equipment -specifically the pump, pump motor, and filter.

Gold Medal Pools requires customers have their pool filter cleaned at a regularly scheduled interval(every 4 months)by GMP certified service technicians. Customers on our Standard Plan require filter cleanings that are billed as a separate charge from the monthly pool maintenance invoice.Gold Medal Pools is not responsible for algae or algae follow ups for customers who do not approve or participate in consistent filter cleans. Additional fees will be applied for any services necessary to bring a pool back to sanitation standards.

As part of our Gold Medal Maintenance Plan all filter cleans are included. Additionally, Gold Medal Maintenance plan customers receive a 10% discount on parts and labor for all repairs.
