Pool News & Care Tips | JK Pools and Spa

Practical pool care advice from JK Pools and Spa, written for homeowners across Surrey, Langley, Maple Ridge and White Rock. Everything here comes out of twenty years of actually maintaining pools — what works, what does not, and what you can safely do yourself between visits.

Start with what you need

If you are looking for something specific, these are the quickest routes:

Keeping water clean between visits — automated cleaning, seasonal maintenance, and seasonal care.
Deciding on a system or upgrade — saltwater vs chlorine, pump sizing, and liner selection.
Safety — keeping children safe around a pool.
Planning work — renovation on a budget and child-friendly features.

Would rather just have someone handle it? We run weekly maintenance routes across all four cities — see pool maintenance or get in touch.
