Commitment to Continuous Learning: In the ever-evolving pool service industry, we never stop learning. Our commitment to excellence drives us to send our staff to a variety of classes, from water chemistry and customer service to equipment repair seminars and the latest chemical applications. We also conduct monthly in-house training sessions to stay updated on new products and procedures.

Industry Engagement: To stay at the forefront of the field, we actively participate in industry trade shows. These events provide us with valuable opportunities to connect with peers, discuss common challenges, and explore effective solutions that benefit our clients.

Wherever you are in Marin County, we’re dedicated to providing exceptional pool services to meet your needs.

How Do We Customize Solutions?

Tailored Pool Service: At our core, we believe in personalized pool care. We take the time to understand how each client utilizes their pool. Whether it’s a neighborhood hub, a sanctuary for relaxation, a wildlife attraction, or a haven for furry friends, we adapt our service to match your specific needs. We consider factors like water temperature, the presence of pets, foliage around the pool, and more because these details significantly impact the way we maintain and enhance your pool experience. Our goal is to ensure that your time in the water is nothing short of exceptional, which might involve using enzymes, salt cells, UV systems, or other chemicals tailored to your unique situation.

Client-Centric Approach: We’re committed to going beyond one-size-fits-all pool care. By considering the individual nuances of each client’s pool, we aim to provide a first-class experience.

Need emergency help? Call right away.

Our Commitment to Sustainability

What’s Our Commitment to Sustainability?

Sustainable Pool Solutions: At Marin Pool Services, we prioritize eco-friendly alternatives for pool sanitation. We specialize in installing UV, Ozone, and Salt systems, reducing reliance on chlorine or tab-based sanitation methods and minimizing their carbon footprint.

Solar-Powered Office and Pool Heating: Our commitment to sustainability extends to our office operations. We power our office with self-generated solar energy from our own rooftop panels. Furthermore, we advocate for the use of solar panels to heat pool water, which can increase temperatures by 10 to 15 degrees during most of the summer. We service and install water solar panels, and for those using photovoltaic solar panels for electricity, we recommend heat pumps powered by solar energy rather than natural gas.

Environmental Responsibility: To reduce our environmental impact, we strategically plan service routes to minimize fuel consumption and emissions. We equip our technicians with reusable water bottles to eliminate plastic waste and opt for large barrels of specialty chemicals that can be transferred into smaller, refillable bottles. Additionally, we participate in bottle refill programs for chlorine and acid, promoting sustainability by reducing single-use packaging.

What’s Our Future Vision?

Evolution for Quality Service: At Marin Pool Services, our commitment to quality service drives us to continuously evolve. We’ve embraced a new approach to pool water chemistry, known as the Langelier Saturation Index (LSI), which has recently been refined by the experts at Orenda. This shift has proven highly effective, enhancing water quality by considering water temperature and its impact on chemistry. The result is a more stable pool environment with reduced chances of scaling or etching in your system.

Enhanced Water Management: This method not only stabilizes water chemistry but also improves overall water stability, making it a key component of our commitment to delivering top-tier pool services. Additionally, we’ve expanded our capabilities in pool remodeling and construction, further extending our ability to meet the diverse needs of our clients. We’re dedicated to providing innovative solutions and exceptional service at every turn.

How Do We Stay Up to Date?

Continual Education and Innovation: At Marin Pool Services, we’re committed to staying at the forefront of the industry. To ensure our service and repair technicians, as well as our office staff, are up-to-date with the latest technology and best practices, we regularly attend industry trade shows and training classes. Our dedication to knowledge extends to online training opportunities, including platforms like Orenda Academy and Jandy Academy, as well as certifications like Certified Pool Operator (CPO), which we offer through online training programs. Additionally, we stay informed about industry developments and trends through publications such as Service Industry News and Pool and Spa News, ensuring that our team is equipped to provide top-quality service.

Contact Us: Getting in touch with Marin Pool Services is easy. You can reach us by calling or texting at 415-892-4000. Alternatively, feel free to contact us through Yelp or our website. Whether you have questions, need assistance, or want to schedule an appointment, we’re here to help. Don’t hesitate to reach out, and we’ll be ready to assist you with all your pool needs.

Effective Communication: At Marin Pool Services, we prioritize clear and consistent communication with our customers. We make every effort to keep you well-informed, whether it’s about your service schedule, technician updates, or addressing any issues that arise during regular maintenance or repairs. Our commitment is to provide you with a transparent view of the situation, outlining the necessary actions to be taken and the expected timeline for completion.

My son moved into his new home and needed a pool service asap bcz he was having a party over the weekend. After failing to get anyone to be able to come out with such short notice, I finally was fortunate enough to find Marin Pool Service, and Rebecca was immediately on it. She sent Bruce out who did a fantastic job of making the pool look beautiful, all in one morning. Thank you, Rebecca and Bruce for a job well done. And...of course....they are our new pool service from now on! :))))))

I recently started with Marin Pool Service and they've been great! John is easy to reach if an issue arises and super fun to talk to. David repaired some major problems with the system I inherited from the previous owner and everything is now simplified, and up and running perfectly!

David Metzger is a lifesaver. He and his company were remodeling a neighbor's pool and I had asked him if he could come over to look at the work that our contractors had done on our pool. (I was very concerned that our contractor's workmanship was faulty and I was not getting an adequate explanation as to why some of the results look shoddy). He came over the very next day and spent 45 minutes inspecting their work and then explained all of the issues to me without charging me a dime. He gave me the peace of mind that I very much needed. He is incredibly professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. I only wish I had known about this company sooner! Even though Marin Pool Service did not remodel our pool, we will be hiring them to maintain it.

I manage a hotel in SF and over the Labor day weekend, our pool filter pump started making a peculiar noise and our pool became creepily cloudy. It also happened to be during the peak of the heat wave and people were booking rooms specifically to use the pool. Our normal pool service does not work on the weekends so we were kind of freaking out. We started calling around to see if anyone could help us. At first the girl (Rebecca?) who answered the phone said they don't really service SF but she would check to see if she had someone available to help us. Shortly thereafter, I received a call from David inquiring about the nature of the issue. I sent him some photos of our system and he was able to walk me through various troubleshooting steps. It turns out, our pump filter was completely clogged and with David's help over the phone, I was able to get everything working again in just a few minutes! There was no occasion for money to change hands but that didn't stop David from sharing his expertise and for that I'm truly grateful. This type of customer service is very rare these days. Thank you all!

David O, from Marin Pool, did an absolutely awesome job helping us manage, maintain, and clean our pool for the past year. We are new homeowners, who knew nothing about having a pool, and David not only did an amazing job helping us keeping it in solid order, but also taught us a lot.along the way. I looked forward to his visit each week, always enjoying catching up. Super grateful for ya David

We just LOVE Marin Pools, the whole team from office to John our pool guy is simply awesome. We use Marin pools to service our pool weekly, repair and service all of our equipment as well as using them for larger projects like adding solar and upgrading our heater and other various pieces of equipement. I can't speak more highly of David, who trouble shoots and takes care of any pool problem we throw at him, big or small. We have been with Marin Pools for 4 + years and would not use another pool service to take care of us. Finally, the reason why I felt compelled to write a review is because they just care and want you to enjoy your back yard and your pool. Nothing is too much, they are responsive, great people, and have made our time in the sun and in our back yard and pool 100% perfect. Thank you guys for everything. Thanks for setting up the solar. Thanks for everything! Thanks John, Dave and the entire team.

Marin pool has been incredible since we moved to our home! They helped us first get the pool in working order and have since been helping us with weekly maintenance of our pool. David O'Donnell has been incredible, maintaining our pool with perfection, helping us fix identified issues, and is simply so nice and fun to catch up with every week. Thanks to Marin Pool and especially to David!
