Above ground pool cleaning service in San Angelo — fast fixes for cloudy water and sticky filters

If you own an above ground pool in San Angelo you know they can go from sparkling to slimy faster than you expect — especially during hot months or after a storm. This guide explains what to check, what you can handle yourself, and when to call Concho Valley Pool, our family-owned San Angelo team with 13+ years serving Southland, Bentwood, College Hills, Lake Nasworthy and nearby communities.

Common above ground pool problems we see in San Angelo

  • Green water or algae after heat and heavy use
  • Clogged skimmers, hairline leaks around fittings, or noisy pumps
  • Filter pressure that climbs and doesn’t drop after backwash
  • Chlorine levels that swing wildly because of sun and bather load

Quick Checklist: What to check right now

  • Water level: is it covering the skimmer throat? (Too low can suck air into the pump.)
  • Pump noise and flow: steady flow, no rattling or air bubbles in the basket?
  • Filter pressure: note the psi before and after a backwash or clean.
  • Free chlorine and pH: if you don’t test on-site, take a picture and text it to us.
  • Visible algae or cloudiness: brush surfaces and run a vacuum; photo helps us diagnose.

When to DIY vs When to Call Us

DIY steps you can try today:

  • Brush and vacuum the walls/floor — best first step for surface algae.
  • Clean skimmer baskets and empty pump basket.
  • Backwash or clean cartridge filters per manufacturer directions.
  • Shock with chlorine if you can safely dose according to the label.

Call Concho Valley Pool when:

  • The water stays green after brushing and shocking — that’s often a circulation or filter capacity issue.
  • You suspect a leak, hear unusual pump noise, or have low/no flow despite a good pump.
  • You need commercial-grade service for apartments, HOA pools, or heavy-use backyard pools.

Practical tips for above ground filters and pumps

  • Cartridge filters: remove and hose down every 3–6 months; replace cartridges when torn or soft.
  • Sand filters: backwash when pressure rises 6–8 psi above clean pressure; check laterals if backwash doesn’t clear.
  • Pumps: keep the lid O-ring lubricated and replace cracked lids; trapped air is a common flow killer.
