President Pool Scouts of McKinney & Northeast DFW

POOL SCOUTS. PERFECT POOLS, SCOUT’S HONOR.
Come on in, the water’s fine – because you have Pool Scouts! We are here to make sure you spend more time enjoying your pool than worrying about cleaning your pool. Our trained Scouts will take care of your pool’s service and maintenance so you can sit back, relax and soak up the sun.

We offer several different options to keep your pool sparkling including season-opening service, ongoing Service and maintenance, pool closing service and one-time single service. If we need to dive into the deep end, you’re covered there too! Our kickstarter service is designed for pools that are open all year round, our green pool service is for unwelcomed pool party guests (algae) and our saltwater conversion service turns your chlorinated pool into an ocean-like oasis.

Pool Scouts uses the latest technology and treatment solutions, so you don’t have to sweat about the small stuff. We will keep you updated on completed services with real-time reporting, and our responsive scheduling will keep you in the know about exactly what’s happening with your Pool Scouts appointment.
