Weekly Pool Service
Full-service weekly maintenance on a fixed route day. Includes brushing walls and tile line, vacuuming as needed, skimmer and pump basket emptying, filter pressure check, water testing for chlorine, pH, alkalinity, cyanuric acid, and salt, and chemical balancing. Equipment is visually inspected every visit and you get a text or email if anything's off. Same tech every week, never subcontracted. Priced per pool based on size and tree cover — call for a quote.
Every-other-week maintenance for pools with lighter bather loads or good filtration. Same brushing, vacuuming, skimmer and basket clearing, filter pressure check, water test, and chemical balancing as our weekly route — just at a slower cadence. Same tech every visit, never subcontracted. Best fit for smaller pools, screen-enclosed pools, or houses without heavy tree cover. If bi-weekly stops keeping up, we'll tell you and switch you back to weekly, no argument.
Diagnosis and repair on every major brand: Pentair, Hayward, Polaris, Jandy, Sta-Rite, Zodiac, Raypak. Pumps, motors, filters, valves, plumbing, timers, pressure switches, unions, and o-rings. The parts that fail first ride on our truck, so most repairs close in a single visit. We tell you what's worth fixing and what's worth replacing, with the actual cost difference in writing before any work starts.
New pump, filter, or valve installation on every major brand: Pentair, Hayward, Polaris, Jandy, Sta-Rite, Zodiac, Raypak. We size the new equipment to your pool's actual gallonage and flow, not the box the old unit came in. Includes plumbing modifications where needed, union rework, wiring cleanup, and start-up run to verify pressures and priming. Written quote before any purchase, so you know the equipment cost and the labor separately.
Gas heater and heat pump repair on Raypak, Pentair MasterTemp, Hayward Universal H-Series, and Jandy LXi and JXi. Common fixes: ignition control modules, pressure switches, gas valves, thermal regulators, heat exchangers. We also install replacement heaters and run new gas lines through licensed sub when needed. Cold pool the week before a party? We carry the most-failed parts and most repairs finish same day. Full replacement installs run 1 to 2 days.
32 years on the same equipment pads, the same neighborhoods, often the same families. Dennis Petty still runs the company. Our techs aren't gig workers, they're W-2 employees who stick around. That's why your route doesn't get flipped every six months.
02
Licensed, insured, A+ rated
California Contractors License #971699 (good standing through 2028, classification C-53), full general liability and workers' comp insurance, BBB A+ profile rating without paid accreditation. Verify any of it before you hire us. Ask any other contractor to do the same.
03
Parts on the truck
We stock the parts that fail first, pump seals, capacitors, pressure switches, gas valve modules, salt cell flow switches, common o-rings and unions. Most repairs close in one visit instead of three trips and a week-long parts wait. Your pool isn't down for the weekend.
04
Residential only, South Bay only
We don't chase commercial accounts, HOA bids, or routes outside the South Bay. Smaller book of clients in San Jose, Los Gatos, Saratoga, Campbell, and Willow Glen means more attention per pool, not more pools per tech. It's why our customers stay 10, 20, 30 years.
How It Works
Simple from start to finish
01
You call or text
Reach Dennis or the office directly at (408) 323-8275. Tell us what's happening: weekly service quote, pump down, green water, heater out. We answer during business hours, no phone tree, no offshore call center.
02
On-site visit
For weekly service quotes, we come look at the pool, the equipment pad, and the tree cover before quoting. For repairs, we diagnose on-site with the right parts already on the truck. Most repair visits close the same day.
03
Written quote, your approval
You get the price in writing before any work begins. If we find something additional once we're in the equipment, we stop, call you, and quote that separately. No surprise charges on the final invoice, ever.
04
Work done right, in writing
Repairs come with a 90-day parts and labor warranty. Every invoice spells out what we did, what parts went in, and what the warranty covers. Save it, you'll have it when you need it.
05
Same tech, every visit after
If you sign up for weekly service, the tech who quoted you is the tech who shows up every week. Route notes on your property carry forward year over year. New techs don't relearn your pool from scratch.
What Customers Say

"We've been with K&D since 2003. Dennis has personally walked our equipment pad more times than I can count. Same tech shows up every Tuesday, he knows our pool better than we do. When our Pentair pump finally died last summer, he had a replacement on the truck and we were swimming again that afternoon. Worth every penny."

"Called three pool companies after our pool went green following a windstorm. Two wanted to schedule out two weeks. K&D had someone here the next morning. They diagnosed high CYA, did a partial drain and shock, came back every other day, and we were clear in four days. Written quote up front, final bill matched it exactly."

"Raypak heater quit two days before my daughter's graduation party. Called K&D Friday morning. They had a tech out by 1 PM, diagnosed a bad ignition control module, had the part on the truck, fixed and tested by 3. Pool was warm for the party Saturday. This is why we've been with them since 2011."

"Switched to K&D after our previous service kept rotating new techs through who didn't know our equipment. Three years in with K&D and it's been the same guy, Tony, every single Wednesday. He texts me a note any time something's off, refilled chlorine tablets without me asking, replaced a torn skimmer basket out of pocket. Worth the small premium."

Common Questions
Answers to questions we get a lot
We cover San Jose, Los Gatos, Saratoga, Campbell, Willow Glen, Cambrian Park, Almaden Valley, Cupertino, and parts of Santa Clara and Sunnyvale. We're a residential-only shop, so we stay tight to the South Bay rather than spreading thin across the Peninsula or East Bay. If you're on the edge of our area, call and we'll tell you straight whether you're a fit for our route schedule.
Yes. California Contractors License #971699, in good standing through 2028, classification C-53 (swimming pool contractor). We carry full general liability and workers' compensation insurance, certificates available on request before any work starts. We also hold a BBB A+ profile rating (not accredited, we don't pay for accreditation, but the rating is earned). Ask any pool contractor for their CSLB number, then verify it at cslb.ca.gov before you hire.
Most San Jose residential pools fall between $165 and $235 per month for full chemical-included service. Price depends on pool size, tree cover (leaf load), and water chemistry. We give a flat monthly quote after looking at the pool, no per-visit add-on surprises. Chemicals are included in that price. We bill monthly, not per visit, so a 5-week month doesn't cost extra.
We handle urgent repairs (pump down, heater out before a party, major leak) on a same-week basis for existing service customers, and within a few business days for new clients. We're not a 24/7 emergency outfit, we're a small crew that runs a tight route. If your situation is truly time-sensitive, call and tell us, we'll be honest about whether we can fit you in or whether you need someone else this week.
Every major brand: Pentair, Hayward, Polaris, Jandy, Sta-Rite, Zodiac, and Raypak. That covers about 95% of residential pool equipment in the South Bay. We stock the most commonly failed parts (pump seals, capacitors, pressure switches, gas valve modules, salt cell flow switches) on our trucks, which is why most repair calls close in one visit instead of three trips and a parts-order wait.
