Getting your pool cleanAfter a heavy monsoon storm
Monsoon season brings strong winds and blowing dust to the valley every July and August. We clear the heavy debris and rebalance the water.

What you might noticeThe morning after a storm
Summer storms leave behind specific problems that require more than a standard weekly cleaning.
Dust and silt on the floor
High winds blow dirt across the valley. It settles on the pool floor and requires heavy brushing and vacuuming.
Leaves and branches
Palm fronds and leaves can overwhelm your automatic cleaner, leaving debris floating on the surface and sinking to the bottom.
Cloudy water
Cloudy water after a storm can point to debris the filter has not cleared yet, or to low chlorine.
A full skimmer
Debris clogs the skimmer basket during a wind event, which chokes the water flow to the pump.
High filter pressure
As the filter catches the monsoon dust, the internal pressure rises. The filter will likely need a full cleaning.
A pump straining
If the baskets are full of leaves, the pump starves for water and runs louder than normal.
Storm and electrical safety
Stay out of the pool during lightning storms. If you see electrical sparks, smell smoke, or notice water near the electrical equipment, turn the power off at the breaker only if it is safe to do so. Keep everyone away and call NV Energy or 911 if there is any danger.
Understanding the differenceWeekly care versus storm cleanup
We make sure your pool recovers from severe weather, but major storms require a different approach than routine maintenance.
What the weekly visit covers
Your normal weekly route service handles typical wind and daily dust. We skim the surface, empty baskets, brush the walls, and maintain the routine chemicals.
What is billed separately
When a severe monsoon dumps heavy dirt, branches, or mud into the pool, the extra labor and specialty chemicals are billed separately from weekly service as a storm cleanup.
Storm cleanup questions
All QuestionsWhat if my scheduled service falls on a storm day?
If a visit is postponed due to lightning or high wind, the technician will make up the visit within the same week. We do not skip your pool.
Do I have to drain the pool after a dust storm?
Rarely. Most of the time, we can restore the water by cleaning the filter, applying the right chemicals, and vacuuming the dirt. We only recommend draining if the cyanuric acid was already too high.
Will my filter need cleaning?
Yes, severe dust usually packs the filter cartridges or grids. A filter cleaning is often necessary after a monsoon storm and is billed separately unless you are on the Full Care Plus plan.
Is storm cleanup included in my weekly service plan?
No, monsoon and storm cleanup is billed separately from weekly service. This covers the extra time needed to remove heavy debris and dust, clear the filter, and rebalance the water.
