850-495-7318When to Call for Emergency Pool Service
Some pool problems cannot wait for your next scheduled maintenance visit. Here is when you should call us right away.
Your Pool Turned Green Overnight
A green pool indicates a severe algae bloom, often caused by a sudden chemical imbalance, equipment failure, or extreme weather. The longer you wait, the harder and more expensive it becomes to fix. Call us immediately for a green pool rescue.
Your Pump or Filter Stopped Working
A non-functioning pump means your pool water is not circulating or being filtered. Within 24 to 48 hours, stagnant water can become a breeding ground for bacteria and algae. This requires urgent attention to prevent further damage.
You Notice a Significant Water Leak
Rapidly dropping water levels can indicate a serious leak in your pool shell, plumbing, or equipment. Leaks waste water, damage surrounding structures, and can undermine your pool's foundation if not addressed quickly.
Storm Damage or Flooding
After a major storm or hurricane, your pool may be filled with debris, contaminated water, and damaged equipment. Our storm cleanup service restores your pool safely and efficiently so you can get back to normal as soon as possible.
Strong Chemical Odor or Irritation
If your pool has an overpowering chlorine smell or swimmers are experiencing skin and eye irritation, your chemical balance may be dangerously off. This is a health concern that needs immediate professional correction.
Electrical Issues Near the Pool
Sparking outlets, tripped breakers, or malfunctioning pool lights are serious safety hazards. Do not attempt to diagnose electrical pool problems yourself. Call us immediately and keep everyone out of the pool until it is resolved.

Storm Season Preparedness
Living on the Emerald Coast means hurricane season is a reality from June through November. At Witt Co Pool Pros, we help you prepare your pool before a storm hits and restore it quickly afterward.
Before the Storm:
- Balance water chemistry to protect pool surfaces during the storm
- Lower the water level to prevent overflow from heavy rainfall
- Secure or remove loose pool equipment, furniture, and accessories
- Turn off and protect electrical pool equipment from surges
- Do NOT drain the pool -- the weight of the water helps hold the shell in place
After the Storm:
- Remove all debris from the pool and surrounding area
- Inspect all equipment for damage before powering anything on
- Shock treat the water to eliminate contamination
- Restore proper water chemistry levels and circulation
- Document any damage for insurance claims if needed
