Services
Practical Pools provides a variety of pool cleaning services for residential pools in the Sarasota, FL area. Our company handles all service and cleaning work relating to pools and spas. We know the importance and safety of having a clean pool and work hard with over 15 years experience in the pool service industry to ensure our customers satisfaction.
Balancing Water Chemistry - Pool water chemistry is a vital part of every swimming pool. This is why we monitor water chemistry each week on our full service plan to ensure safe and proper chemical levels are present. Netting Pool Debris - Each week as part of the full service plan we will net any debris on or below the surface of the pool water to keep your pool swim ready and running efficiently.
This reduces the amount of cleaning required for our technicians, so as a result it is our cheapest option. This option is for customers who have little to no overhanging tree limbs, plants, or shrubs near or around the pool and also have an automatic pool cleaner installed. All pricing provided is for monthly pool service and all rates listed are current and up to date.

To be perfectly honest, Craig knows all there is to know about how to maintain a swimming pool and he is always happy to advise and if necessary recommend better ways of looking after your pool.

They are very dependable. They follow up on all concerns. Practical pools is number one in customer service. They are the pool construction experts! Everyone was very friendly and they always put the customer first. Something you usually don’t see anymore. I have already recommended them several times.

We are very happy with Practical Pools. A lot of research went in to our decision making to include four different pool company interviews. This company is honest, they work hard and have always taken my call. We have a 25000G curvy pool with spill over jacuzzi. Reviews have always been a factor making these kind of decisions for us. I hope this will help someone with their decision. I would definitely refer Practical Pools.

Scott came out to look at our pump, showed up when he said he would. He kept me informed with what was going on. Had to have our pump replaced, he did it in the same day! Very pleased with these folks, would definitely recommend them for your pool needs

They cancelled 2 appts to start with.had to call constantly to finally get someone to give me a quote. I should stopped there, but then the price was hard to beat. I had already interviewed 2 other pool companies so I did not ask what the pool was made of. I found out looking at my neighbors pool they (practical pools)are using ply wood instead of polymer walls. To me wood and water don’t mix. Seems like they would explain to all new customers what their pools are made of.
PS I don’t think it should take over 2 months to complete a pool. The pool company I have hired will have it complete

Great place for parts and advise.
I purchased the wrong pool motor,
Went back and explained my situation
No problem we exchanged motors with the proper mounting. The counter people are always helpful. They have my business from water testing and chemicals to parts.Super folks.

This has been the worst experience of my life! The pool was not dug to 7 foot but 6 foot and you have to call them everyday for anyone to come out and do some work. They take on to many jobs with not enough people. Greed! That's all it is. I'm very unsatisfied with this pool project and when they are finished I hope I never have to deal with any of them again. I would not recommended this company to ANYONE! I'm stuck with a 14x28 6 foot pool that my kids love and I hate! By the way we are still waiting on them to finish the salt water pump. It's been 6 weeks now. My husband will call them again
