r173216: San Angelo Pool Service Help & Checklist - San Angelo Pool Cleaning Services

San Angelo pool owners: dealing with r173216-style issues (what to check first)

If you searched for “r173216” and landed here, you’re probably seeing a problem at your pool in San Angelo — cloudy water, weird pump noises, or chemistry that won’t stabilize. Concho Valley Pool has been serving San Angelo for 13+ years and the neighborhoods you know: Southland, Bentwood, PaulAnn, College Hills, the Bluffs, Lake Nasworthy and nearby towns like Christoval, Grape Creek, Wall and Mertzon. This guide gives a quick, practical checklist and clear next steps so you can decide whether to DIY or call a local pro.

Quick Checklist — what to look at right now

Is the pump running and showing normal pressure? Check the pump basket and skimmer for debris.
Is the water cloudy, green, or has a film on top? Note color and smell — green usually means algae; a bleach smell means high chlorine.
Check the filter gauge. High pressure after a clean suggests backwash or cartridge cleaning is needed.
Test pH and chlorine if you have strips or a test kit — but remember on-site digital testing is more accurate (see below).
Look for visible leaks: wet ground, low water line, or constantly running pump. Mark photos for reference.
Listen for unusual pump/motor noises or constant tripping of breakers.

What you can try yourself (safe, high-impact fixes)

Skim leaves and debris, empty skimmer and pump baskets. Often circulation problems start here.
Backwash sand DE filters, or clean/replace cartridge filters per manufacturer directions.
Brush walls and floor to free algae so chemicals and vacuums can remove it.
Shock the pool if chlorine is very low and algae is beginning (follow product instructions).
Take clear photos of the pump, filter gauge, and waterline to share with a technician.

When to DIY vs When to Call Us

DIY is fine for routine tasks — skimming, brushing, basic filter cleaning, and small chemical adjustments. Call Concho Valley Pool when you see any of these:

Persistent cloudiness or green water after 48 hours of proper shocking and brushing.
Low flow, noisy pump, tripping breakers, or suspected mechanical failure.
Visible leak, rapidly dropping water level, or plaster damage.
Commercial or HOA pools, hotel pools, or any public pool that needs certified service and documentation.

We’re family-owned, commercial-ready, and handle apartments, HOAs, hotels and public pools — plus residential work across San Angelo and surrounding areas.
