Jonathan's Pool Solutions — Frequently Asked Questions

  • How often should my pool be serviced in Las Vegas?

    Due to desert heat, dust, and evaporation, weekly service is recommended. This keeps your water balanced, equipment protected, and pool ready for use.

  • Are variable-speed pool pumps really worth it?

    Yes. They are energy-efficient, run quieter, and can significantly reduce your power bills compared to older single-speed models.

  • How much energy can I save with a new pump?

    On average, variable-speed pumps can cut energy use by 40–65% compared to traditional pumps. Many homeowners see noticeable monthly savings.

  • How long do pumps and salt cells last?

    With proper care, pumps typically last 8–12 years, while salt-chlorinator cells last about 3–7 years depending on usage and maintenance.

  • Why are regular filter cleans important?

    Clean filters allow water to flow properly, reduce strain on your pump, and keep your pool water clear. Neglecting filter care can shorten equipment life.

  • What maintenance do salt systems need?

    We check and clean the salt cell, confirm water flow, and ensure salt levels are balanced. Proper maintenance helps extend system life and keeps chlorine production steady.

  • Should I repair or replace my pump?

    If your pump is newer and just needs minor repairs, fixing it makes sense. But if it’s older or inefficient, upgrading to a variable-speed model usually saves more money long-term.

  • How do you clean pool tile in Las Vegas?

    We use professional methods to remove hard water and calcium buildup, restoring the look of your tile without causing damage.

  • Do pool covers or enclosures really help?

    Yes. Covers help reduce evaporation and save water, while enclosures keep out dust and debris, reduce cleaning, and add comfort and safety.

  • What’s included in Residential vs. Commercial Maintenance?

    • Residential: Weekly cleaning, water testing, filter care, and equipment checks.
    • Commercial: All of the above, plus detailed reporting and compliance with local health and safety requirements.
