Oak tassels, palm fronds, and roadside dust rain onto pools all year in Florida. Our Leaf Removal Pool Service in Fort Lauderdale nets every leaf before it sinks, protecting clarity, saving sanitizer, and leaving an uninterrupted blue mirror for every sunrise swim.
A single handful of soggy leaves can devour milligrams of free chlorine in hours as tannins leach and bacteria hitchhike on decomposing stems. When chlorine oxidizes organics, it can’t disinfect pathogens, leaving water dull, smelly, and unsafe. In Fort Lauderdale most pools sit beneath live oaks or royal palms that shed year-round; windy afternoons deposit fresh litter even after an automatic cycle ends. Hand-net removal interrupts this cycle, preserves sanitizer, and reduces combined chlorine that causes red eyes and “pool smell.” Homeowners who add three skims per week report up to a 25 % drop in annual chemical costs, longer filter runs between back-washes, and fewer shock treatments through hurricane season.
Our technician starts with a slow perimeter walk, coaxing floating debris inward with gentle pole sweeps that avoid stirring settled dust. Using a carbon-fiber pole and a silicone-edged, micro-mesh net, they draw broad overlapping arcs until every visible leaf, seed pod, and insect carcass is captured. Throughout the pass they inspect tile grout, return-jet turbulence, and circulation patterns, noting any early signs of scale, algae film, or weak flow.
After skimming, baskets are emptied, weirs freed, and overflow troughs cleared so pumps never starve. All debris is bagged for compost or eco-disposal—never left poolside. A time-stamped photo log lands in your inbox moments later, giving transparent proof of service. Because nets are disinfected between properties, cross-pool contamination is impossible—critical for hotels, HOAs, and public facilities aiming for flawless inspections.
By removing organics quickly, we keep free chlorine available for sanitation instead of oxidation, so pH drift slows and combined-chlorine odours vanish. Families notice brighter goggles, fewer ear and skin irritations, and cleaner waterline tile. Resorts report smoother health inspections and higher guest review scores citing “spotless water.”
Equipment thanks you as well—open baskets let pumps run cooler, heaters reach set-point faster, and robotic cleaners avoid jam-shutdowns. Filters maintain lower PSI, cutting kilowatt draw and extending media life, turning a simple surface skim into measurable energy savings.
A screened patio pool needs fewer visits than an open waterfront deck; a vacation rental demands photo-ready water before every check-in. We offer sunrise skims for early swimmers, midday touch-ups for resorts, and rapid storm-response calls when tropical squalls blanket the surface. All agreements are month-to-month with free pauses during renovations or travel, and route clustering ensures a 15-minute arrival window.
Service reports arrive via SMS and email, complete with date-stamped photos and concise notes owners can forward to boards, guests, or inspectors—clear evidence of proactive pool care, no hype required.
Over 500 homeowners and 35 commercial facilities in Fort Lauderdale rely on our leaf removal schedule.
