Decades-old equipment
Many pumps and filters here have outlived their first owners. We listen for bearing noise, check pressure gauges and look for drips at unions and valves on every visit.

Suburban pools built around the lakes
Kendale Lakes grew up in the 1970s and 1980s as a planned suburb in West Kendall, with streets curving around a network of excavated lakes. The rock dug out of those lakes became the fill the houses were built on. Today the area is mostly single-family homes on modest lots, with some townhouse and villa communities mixed in, and a good number of those homes have a pool in the back.
Because the housing is several decades old, many pools here have been resurfaced at least once and are running replacement equipment of widely varying age. We regularly find single-speed pumps that have been rebuilt several times, cartridge and DE filters that are overdue for a teardown, and plumbing with small leaks at the pad. Weekly service in Kendale Lakes means cleaning the water and also keeping an honest eye on that equipment.
Lakeside homes along the water deal with more insects, grass and wind-borne debris, especially on breezy afternoons. Inland lots tend to have mature ficus, black olive or palm trees along the fence line, which drop leaves and flowers throughout the year. Either way, the skimmer and the filter work hard here, and keeping them clean is most of what keeps the water clear.

Kendale Lakes pump acting up?
Loud motors, filters that never seem to get clean, and slow leaks at the equipment pad are what Kendale Lakes homeowners call us about most.
Local conditions
What Kendale Lakes pools deal with
Lakefront debris
Homes on the lakes get midges, cut grass and leaves blown in off the water. More frequent skimming and basket cleaning keep it from sinking and staining.
Resurfaced and aging finishes
Older plaster and patchwork resurfacing can roughen over time and hold algae. Correct pH and calcium levels protect the finish and make brushing more effective.

Through the year
A year of pool care in Kendale Lakes
-
Cooler months (Nov–Mar)
A good time to replace a failing pump or overhaul a filter, since pools are less stressed and algae grows more slowly.
-
Late spring heat
As temperatures climb, chlorine demand rises quickly. Older, less efficient equipment starts to show its limits, and we adjust run times to keep water moving.
-
Summer storms and hurricane season
Heavy rain raises lake levels and pool levels alike. We lower water when needed, rebalance after storms and check equipment after power outages.

Kendale Lakes FAQ
Questions from Kendale Lakes pool owners
My Kendale Lakes pump is loud but still running. Is it about to fail?
A loud pump often means worn bearings or a motor that is overheating. We can inspect it and tell you whether a bearing or seal repair will do or whether replacement makes more sense for its age.
Our house is on one of the lakes. Why does the pool need more cleaning?
Water and open space let wind carry insects, grass and leaves directly into your pool. We empty baskets and skim more thoroughly on lakefront lots and check the filter pressure each visit.
The previous owner resurfaced the pool years ago. Can you keep it looking good?
Usually, yes. Keeping pH, alkalinity and calcium in balance slows further wear, and regular brushing prevents algae from settling into rough spots. If the finish is failing, we will tell you honestly.
Can you fix a small leak at the equipment pad?
Yes. Leaks at unions, valves and pump lids are common on older Kendale Lakes pads. The same crew that cleans your pool handles repairs and leak detection, so there is no hand-off.
