OUR PROMISE

Reliable Lakeland Pool Service That Keeps Your Home Pool Clean and Ready to Swim

Your pool should be ready when you are! Whether you are in Downtown Lakeland, Florida, North Lakeland, South Lakeland, Lakeland Highlands, or Grasslands, the heat, rain, and year-round sunshine can quickly affect water chemistry. Changes in pH, low chlorine levels, and algae growth can create problems between visits. 


Our experienced technician follows a thorough weekly process that includes testing, balancing, brushing, and pool cleaning safety best practices. Regular pool service attention helps keep water pristine and gives your family more time to enjoy your backyard.  Contact us today for all your maintenance needs!

The Difference

What Professional Weekly Pool Maintenance Is, and Is Not

If your technician is spending less than 20 minutes onsite, they're probably cutting corners somewhere. Here's what that usually looks like, and what a thorough visit actually includes.

Splash-and-Go Service
Under 20 Minutes Onsite
Common signs of a rushed visit:
  • Quick chemical drop with little time spent evaluating the pool
  • Same basic routine followed regardless of what the pool needs
  • Little or no physical cleaning beyond adding chemicals
  • Visible equipment concerns may go unnoticed during a rushed visit, potentially affecting your pool's life
  • A five-minute mindset focused on getting in and out quickly
  • You're left wondering whether the scheduled visit even happened
Southern Sun Pool Service
20–40 Minutes Onsite
What a thorough visit includes:
  • Water is tested and 7 different chemicals are balanced based on actual conditions to ensure top water quality.
  • Care is adjusted based on what your pool needs during that visit
  • Skimming, brushing, and vacuuming completed based on your plan
  • Filter, pump, and visible equipment checked for signs needing attention
  • A thorough process focused on what the pool actually needs that week
  • You receive a notification after every completed service visit
Our Standard

You should know what you're paying for. Professional service should give you confidence the work was completed correctly, not leave you wondering whether someone simply stopped by and added chemicals. Your pool deserves the time and attention needed to care for it properly.

Common Questions

FAQs

Who is the best pool cleaner in Lakeland, FL?
That depends on what matters most to you, but here's what we can tell you about Southern Sun Pool Service: we're locally owned and operated, CPO certified, and insured. We provide same-tech weekly service throughout Lakeland with no long-term contracts. Call 863-777-5900 to see if we're the right fit for your pool.
How much does weekly pool service cost in Lakeland?
Weekly pool service in Lakeland starts at $120 per month for our Chemical Only plan, with Premium and Premium Plus tiers available depending on how much of the physical cleaning you want us to handle. We'll give you an exact rate after a quick look at your pool.
How often should I have my pool serviced in Lakeland?
Weekly service is what we recommend for every pool in Lakeland. Florida's heat speeds up chlorine burn-off, and heavy summer rain can throw off your water chemistry fast, so weekly visits catch problems before they turn into algae or cloudy water.
What areas does Southern Sun Pool Service cover in Lakeland?
We cover all of Lakeland, including ZIP codes 33801, 33803, 33805, 33809, 33810, 33811, 33812, 33813, and 33815, plus surrounding Polk County communities like Winter Haven, Bartow, and Haines City. That includes neighborhoods throughout South Lakeland, Lakeland Highlands, and Downtown Lakeland. If you're not sure whether your specific neighborhood is covered, call 863-777-5900 and we'll confirm right away.
Does Southern Sun Pool Service handle saltwater pools in Lakeland?
Yes. We service both traditional chlorine pools and saltwater pools, testing and adjusting salt cell levels alongside pH and alkalinity.
Do you service my neighborhood?
Most likely. We cover Lakeland and the surrounding Polk County area. If you're near the edge of our service area, call 863-777-5900 and we'll let you know for certain.
Are you licensed and insured?
We're insured, and our technicians are CPO certified through the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance.
What if I'm not home during service?
No problem. As long as your pool and gate are accessible, our technician can complete the visit without you present. You'll receive a digital report with a time-stamped photo and water test results after every visit.
