What our customers say

The skimmer app allows us to record the services performed and chemicals added at each visit. After the service is finished Skimmer sends a detailed report to your email. This ensures you're always informed and updated on the current status of your pool or spa.
Water balance
Boise Pool Pros uses the Langelier Saturation Index (LSI) through the free Orenda app so your water stays in the safe zone for plaster, vinyl liners, and equipment—never guessing from isolated test numbers alone.
The Langelier Saturation Index (LSI) is a standard way to predict whether pool water will dissolve calcium carbonate (aggressive, corrosive tendency) or deposit it as scale. It was developed for water treatment in the 1930s and is widely used today because it combines pH, temperature, alkalinity, calcium hardness, and TDS (including salt) into one number—how those factors interact matters as much as each reading on its own.
Water constantly seeks equilibrium around calcium carbonate. When the LSI is too low, water can draw calcium from plaster and grout, stress vinyl and fiberglass, and accelerate wear on heaters and metal components. When the LSI is too high, excess calcium carbonate can plate out as scale on tile, plumbing, salt cells, and heat exchangers. Industry guidance commonly targets roughly -0.30 to +0.30 on the index so water is neither aggressively hungry nor oversaturated—see also Orenda's overview of the LSI.
On every service visit we treat your pool as a complete system: we record honest test values, plug them into the Orenda Calculator® on mobile, and adjust dosing toward an LSI that protects finishes and equipment. The app shows an LSI color band in real time while you set current chemistry on the left and goals on the right, then provides step-by-step dosing after you tap Calculate—details in Orenda's calculator guide.
The mobile app color-codes the LSI value at the bottom of the calculator so you can see balance at a glance. The bands below match how Orenda describes its calculator in public documentation (not a screenshot).
Purple (about +0.31 and up): oversaturated—scale-forming; water needs to shed calcium carbonate to rebalance.
Green (about 0.00 to +0.30): ideal LSI balance for satisfied water in most pools.
Yellow (about -0.30 to -0.01): acceptable; pH can still drift upward, so the LSI may move toward green—or higher—over time.
Red (about -0.31 and below): aggressive water hungry for calcium—risk to cement, vinyl, fiberglass, and equipment until corrected.

With over 10 years in the pool service industry, our team of certified pool technicians brings expertise, dedication, and a meticulous eye for detail to every pool and spa they service. We're committed to using the latest pool cleaning technologies and eco-friendly practices to not only maintain your pool's beauty but also its health and longevity.

Boise Pool Pros is built around short drive times and repeat visits, not one-off fly-bys. Most of our week is spent on pools we already know: how the skimmer pulls after a windstorm, how fast pH drifts when the cottonwoods shed, and how your fill water behaves when irrigation season kicks in. That local rhythm is what keeps chemistry stable when the forecast swings from cool nights to triple-digit afternoons.
Day-to-day routing covers Boise, Meridian, Eagle, Garden City, Kuna, Nampa, Star, and Middleton. If you are on the edge of town or just outside that ring, call anyway—we regularly pick up pockets near Highway 44, Lake Lowell, and the west bench when the calendar allows.
