Kennedy Kleinpeter Pool Services
1 x per week service
$285.00 per month

I've shopped it, and they are right in line with two others that I looked at. Like many, the biggest issue they have (and I have), is that there is a large amount of turnover amongst their service people.

I'm interested to see what others are paying for the services they are receiving.

I do routine pool maintenance on the side in the BR/Praireville area. For most of my pools, I charge between $220 and $280 per month for once/week service. This includes all chemicals. 225.266.669nine

I paid $60 per week. Sometimes $240 and sometimes $300 depending if it was 4 or 5 services.

What I liked is the owner did all the work so it was always great.

Man..: these people are
Getting robbed. I clean pools a side gig…

Dependent upon set up, location , etc.- I charge $35-40 per week. About $160
/mth.

You buy chemicals… comes out much cheaper that way. I’ll buy them for you, give receipts, and charge 10% over for the convenience.

**your looking at maybe $200-300 a year for basic chemicals*

Anyone interested reply to this message and I’ll get an email to you

I used Kleinpeter Kennedy for a while. Service was decent but didn’t care for the owner. Used another guy out of AP and he let my CYA get way out of control. Finally decided to just do the damn thing myself. Get a good robot to clean and a water guru to automatically send daily readings to an app on your phone with instructions on what to do/add to bring your numbers back in balance. It’s not fool proof and you should still use your test kit once every couple days. But this is a really easy DIY, especially if you don’t have a bunch of trees making a mess every day.

I used kleinpeter for a little while, but I didn't like that he was using the chlorine pucks only. My cya was climbing because of it. It also seemed like once a month they were recommending to fix something for an additional fee.
I use pinch a penny now. $200 per month. Chemicals included. The guy is only here for 15-20 min per week, so maybe that is overpriced

Thank you. I ended up selecting another company. If for some reason they do not work out, I will be coming to you.

I stuck with them for 8 years, but things just kept going downhill. The last straw was when my high school daughter said, “Dad, the guys cleaning our pool are in high school with me.”

I’ve got no problem with kids working, but with Jeff’s constant turnover and nobody really checking the work, it wasn’t cutting it. They’d be at my house less than 7 minutes, toss in some chlorine pucks like that was enough, and only scoop the pool a couple times a month.

Vacuuming pretty much stopped altogether. Meanwhile, the price kept going up and the service kept shrinking. And today, I found out I had 9 schedules programmed into my pool's control panel, which was the reason why my pumps kept going off and on every 5 minutes.

I finally said, enough’s enough.
