We are a new and upcoming business with over 20 years of experience. We are owner operated and ready to take on pools. We pride ourselves on being customer friendly and easy to get ahold of. Let us take care of your pool and or spa today.

"This is my one-year anniversary of using Ogre Dan's pool service and I couldn't be happier with the results. I used to maintain my pool myself and every year around this time I would be fighting the black and green algae. Now my pool is beautiful, clean and blue. I'm so looking forward to having the family over for swimming this year and I have Ogre Dan's service to thank. Erin, who services my pool, is always courteous, responsible and efficient. In addition, he is always careful to look after my dogs when he is on-site. He even picks up my Amazon deliveries and brings them up to the house. These guys are the best and I recommend them to anyone who wants quality pool service."

Pool & Spa design and installation. DIY Pool build packages available. We cover all aspects of back yard design including hardscape and landscape.

"California Custom Pools installed an inground Freeform pool for my family and I and they knocked the project out of the park. Our experience with them was tremendous, from the initial meeting at our home to discuss our options to the final inspection. George was our project manager and Austin was our designer and these two gentlemen were amazing to do business with and excelled with customer service. They were sure to answer all of our questions and provide us with all the information that we needed. Communication throughout the process was never a problem and they were always available at any time to answer any questions or concerns or provide more details. When I contacted California Custom Pools, George and Austin were out at our home 2 days later for a meeting. 3 days later we had a design and one week later they broke ground with construction. I’m truly amazed at how fast they moved on this project. They started on August 19th and we had water in the pool on September 21st! Absolutely amazing!! Throughout the process, my wife and I had some minor issues/concerns and when we brought them to the attention of George and Austin they took care of it immediately. George also had glow in the dark pebble installed in the pool and glow in the dark sand to border the pool. Very cool feature that our kids love! I highly recommend California Custom Pools to anyone interested in their services and appreciate George and Austin for doing such an amazing job with our pool! Thank you guys."

FAQs for swimming pool cleaning and maintenance service projects in El Cajon, CA

Closing your pool for winter entails comprehensive preparation that protects both the pool and its equipment from freeze damage. Your professional service will remove, clean, and store all removable components; apply a chemical shock to eliminate algae and bacteria; vacuum and deep clean the pool; lower the water level to protect the liner; drain and lubricate the equipment; test and balance the water chemistry; and secure the pool with an air pillow if required. This detailed process ensures long-term pool health and prevents costly repairs.

Your local climate determines the ideal time to close your pool for winter. In colder areas, closing in September or October, when temperatures consistently drop below 65° F, protects your pool and equipment from freeze damage. In warmer climates, you may extend usage until a genuine risk of freezing is present, but timely closure is essential to prevent structural and equipment damage.

When draining your pool for winter, your pool pro will lower the water only until it's a few inches to two feet below the skimmer to protect the liner and equipment. The average cost to drain a pool is $175 to $225. This precise drainage minimizes strain on the pool structure and avoids risks associated with a complete drain.
