The team keeping Orlando pools clean

AquaClear Pool Care is a local, licensed pool service company built by people who genuinely like taking care of pools. Here's our story, our values, and the team you'll actually meet in your backyard.

Our Story

From one truck to a fleet across Orlando

AquaClear Pool Care started in 2011 with one truck, one route, and a simple idea: pool service should be dependable, honest, and easy to schedule. Our founder spent years working for larger pool companies in the Orlando area and kept hearing the same complaints from customers — missed visits, vague pricing, and technicians who never explained what they were actually doing. AquaClear was built to fix that.

Fifteen years later, we've grown into a full-service pool care company serving more than 3,200 pools across the greater Orlando metro, from Winter Park to Lake Nona. What hasn't changed is the approach: the same technician on your route every week, clear communication before any repair, and a genuine focus on doing the job right the first time. We're still locally owned, still Orlando-based, and still answer our own phones.

Our mission is simple — give every Central Florida pool owner more time by the water and less time worrying about it. Whether that means a routine Tuesday cleaning or an emergency green-pool recovery before a weekend party, our team treats every pool like it's the only one on the schedule that day.

What We Stand For

Our values

Honesty First

We tell you what your pool actually needs, not what pads an invoice. If something doesn't need fixing yet, we'll say so.

Reliability

Same day, same technician, every week. Our customers plan their week around a visit they know will happen.

Respect for Your Time

We show up in our scheduled window, work efficiently, and leave your pool area as tidy as we found it.

Craft & Continuing Education

Our technicians train year-round on new equipment, chemistry standards, and safety codes — this is a trade we take seriously.

Community Roots

We're Orlando-based and Orlando-focused — sponsoring local youth swim programs and hiring locally as we grow.
