WEEKLY SERVICE CONTRACTS

You work hard all week, so why come home and work for hours on your pool? Wouldn't you rather spend your those Saturday hours enjoying your pool with friends and family? Let Universal, the Baltimore metropolitan area's service experts, handle the hard part of pool ownership for you! The key to an enjoyable swimming pool experience can be summed up with our "Three C's Approach": Chemistry, Cleaning, and Consistancy.

CHEMISTRY - even a crystal clear pool can be a potentially harmful environment. Improper water chemistry can be the perfect breeding ground for corrosion, scaling, pitting, and most importantly: biological contaminants. With Universal's service plans you can have the peace of mind knowing the water you are swimming in is free from harmful bacteria, or conditions that could subtract years from the life of your swimming pool.

CLEANING - pool Chemicals can't work efficiently in a dirty environment. Chlorine can not distinguish between dirt and bacteria, and will exhaust itself trying to oxidize everything  it comes into contact within the pool. Save money, save time, and save natural resources  by letting Universal clean the pool and equipment prior to balancing your water. Our expert staff will remove debris and dirt, allowing the chemicals to work at premium efficiency.

CONSISTENCY - spikes and dips in pool chemistry and cleanliness cost a great deal of time, money, and resources to correct. They also contribute to unnecessary wear and tear on pool equipment, surfaces, and accessories such as handrails and ladders.With Universal's Service Contracts we can keep a close eye on your pool, and avoid the ups and downs of bad chemistry. Let us get you on the consistent path to pool pleasure!

Take advantage of over seventeen years of service expertise and technical know-how! Universal uses the best chemicals in the industry; chemicals with a tried and tested track record.
