About The Pool Cleaners

Two decades. One focus: residential pools.

Founded in 2004, we've never chased commercial contracts or spread ourselves thin. We've spent 20+ years exclusively on residential swimming pools and spas across Virginia, Maryland, and Washington DC — learning every quirk, every equipment brand, and every seasonal challenge our region throws at pool owners.

From Spring opening to Fall winterization, we handle the unpleasant parts of pool ownership so you're left with nothing but good times around the water.

Every technician completes a rigorous interview with a skills evaluation, a thorough background check, and pre-employment drug testing before ever wearing our uniform.

Continuous, hands-on training under our Regional Service Manager — covering CPO, CBP, CST, and pool/spa start-up certification — with ongoing evaluation by the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance.
