Pool ownership brings about different needs over time, from planning and installation to routine care, seasonal service, repairs, and equipment support. R&R Pools brings construction, service, education, and retail support together for homeowners in Halifax and surrounding communities. Whether you’re considering a new pool or caring for an existing one, you can continue working with one family-owned company as those needs change.
Pool Services for New and Existing Pools
R&R Pools’ services include inground pool design and installation, recurring and one-time cleaning, seasonal care, equipment support, inspections, repairs, water testing, and practical pool-care education. We also offer year-round retail support and additional specialized services for existing pools.
New Pool Construction
For new inground projects, our team designs and installs vinyl-liner and fiberglass pools. If an on-ground pool is a better fit for your property and goals, we can help you compare your options and connect you with our partner company, McBurney LeisureScapes, which specializes in on-ground installations as well as above ground pool installations.
We also offer above-ground pool sales and related support. For the inground pools we build, we consider how the pool will be maintained and how equipment can be accessed for future service, so ongoing care is part of the conversation before construction begins.
Recurring & One-Time Pool Services
Recurring services are suited to homeowners who want ongoing help with cleaning and water care throughout the season, as well as those looking for a more hands-off, white-glove approach to pool ownership. One-time service is available when you need help with a specific concern or task, such as a cleanup, equipment issue, pool opening, or closing.
R&R Pools also offers pool sitting while homeowners are away and monthly on-site water testing for those who manage their weekly maintenance but want professional help with more detailed water balancing. Priority scheduling may be available for select services, depending on the service and time of year.
Routine Pool Cleaning and Seasonal Care
Pool-care needs change throughout the season. R&R Pools offers recurring and one-time cleaning, filter maintenance, and pool openings and closings, giving homeowners support with regular upkeep and specific seasonal tasks.
Routine Pool Cleaning
Weekly pool cleaning can include vacuuming, brushing, skimming, waterline cleaning, basket emptying, filter care, and routine water testing and balancing. For homeowners who don’t want to manage these tasks week after week, recurring service keeps the routine cleaning and water-care work together throughout the swimming season.
Filter Cleaning & Maintenance
R&R Pools provides filter sand changes and cartridge cleaning based on the type and condition of your equipment. Filter maintenance helps keep water moving through the circulation and filtration system, making it an important part of the broader cleaning and water-care routine.
Pool Openings & Closings
Pool openings and closings involve different work at each end of the swimming season. Opening service can include reassembling circulation and filtration equipment, reinstalling pool accessories, and starting the system when water levels allow. Closing service focuses on preparing the pool and equipment for winter, including winterizing equipment and, for inground pools, blowing out plumbing lines. Exact tasks depend on your pool and the service package booked.
Pool Maintenance, Inspections, and Repairs
Pool owners may need professional help diagnosing a problem, completing a repair, or deciding how to respond to a more serious concern. Other maintenance needs come down to understanding which routine tasks they can manage themselves and when professional service is appropriate. R&R Pools offers inspection, repair, emergency service, and pool-care education options for both situations.
Equipment Repairs & Inspections
R&R Pools provides basic pool and equipment repairs along with inspections for insurance requirements, home sales or purchases, and diagnostic concerns. Insurance and real estate inspections can help document the condition of the pool, equipment, and visible components so homeowners, buyers, sellers, or insurers have a clearer understanding of what is in place and whether any concerns should be addressed.
For operating problems, unusual performance, or visible damage, a diagnostic inspection can help identify the likely source of the issue.When the problem falls within R&R Pools’ basic repair services, our team can complete the necessary repair and help determine the most appropriate solution when additional service is needed.
Emergency Pool Service
Emergency pool service is intended for major damage or serious leaks rather than routine maintenance and basic repair requests. Contact our service team with details about the damage or water loss so we can confirm current availability and the appropriate response.
Pool School
Not every maintenance task needs to be outsourced. Pool School gives homeowners access to in-store lessons, maintenance instruction, and DIY seminars covering water care, equipment requirements, and routine tasks. Homeowners receive practical guidance to help them confidently handle appropriate maintenance tasks themselves.
Local Experience and Ongoing Pool Support
As a family-owned Nova Scotia pool company, R&R Pools has served Halifax and surrounding communities since 1983. Our long-term approach extends beyond individual installations or service calls, with support available throughout different stages of pool ownership.
Over 40 Years of Local Experience
More than four decades in Nova Scotia’s pool industry have given our team experience with both new installations and well-established pools, along with a wide range of pool systems and equipment. That experience is relevant whether you need support with a newer pool or service for an older system with changing maintenance, equipment, or repair needs.
Ongoing Support for Existing Pools
Homeowners don’t need to have purchased or installed their pool through R&R Pools to use our service team. We maintain, inspect, and repair pools built by other companies as well as those we originally installed.
Year-Round Retail and Pool-Care Guidance
Pool owners can also visit R&R Pools for products, professional water testing, and practical pool-care guidance between on-site service appointments. Our year-round retail support gives homeowners another way to address water-care questions, product needs, and routine maintenance concerns without booking an on-site visit each time.
Talk to R&R Pools About Your Pool Service Needs
R&R Pools is set up to support homeowners beyond a single installation or service call.

Frequently Asked Questions
What swimming pool services does R&R Pools offer?
We provide comprehensive pool care, from seasonal maintenance and cleaning to repairs, equipment work, renovations, and ongoing support.
Our swimming pool services include pool openings and closings, weekly cleaning, one-time cleanups, water testing and balancing, chemical delivery, equipment installation, liner replacement, filter maintenance, leak detection, inspections, basic repairs, and emergency assistance for major leaks or damage. We also offer pool sitting, maintenance instruction, Pool School, and professional advice for homeowners who prefer to manage some of their own pool care. Our team supports homeowners throughout Halifax and surrounding communities with practical service throughout the life of their pool.
How often should I schedule professional swimming pool maintenance?
We generally recommend regular professional maintenance throughout the swimming season, with the right frequency depending on how your pool is used and maintained.
For homeowners who want ongoing support, our swimming pool services include weekly cleaning as well as monthly on-site water testing. Weekly visits can cover vacuuming, brushing, skimming, basket cleaning, filter care, water checks, and necessary chemical additions. Monthly testing can provide a more detailed check of water balance while you continue routine weekly care. Heavy pool use, storms, debris, water-quality problems, or equipment issues may require additional attention. We can help determine a practical maintenance schedule for your particular pool.
Does R&R Pools provide swimming pool repair and leak detection services?
Yes, we provide pool repairs, inspections, and leak detection to help identify and correct problems before they become more serious.
Our swimming pool services include leak detection, pool and equipment inspections, basic repairs, and emergency assistance for major leaks or damage. If your pool is losing more water than expected, equipment is not operating correctly, or you notice signs of damage, we can assess the situation and determine the appropriate next step. Because water loss can have several possible causes, professional diagnosis helps avoid unnecessary repairs. We also service pools we did not originally install, subject to the pool's condition and service requirements.
Can I book professional pool opening and closing services for the swimming season?
Yes, you can book professional pool opening and closing services with us for the start and end of the swimming season.
These swimming pool services help prepare your pool and equipment for seasonal use and protect the system when colder weather arrives. Opening typically involves getting the pool operational again after winter, while closing focuses on preparing the pool, plumbing, and related equipment for the off-season. Professional seasonal service can also give us an opportunity to identify visible concerns that may require attention. We recommend booking in advance, particularly during the busy spring opening and fall closing periods when appointment availability can fill quickly.
Does R&R Pools offer pool cleaning, water testing, and chemical balancing?
Yes, we offer professional pool cleaning, water testing, and chemical balancing for homeowners who want help keeping their pool clean and properly maintained.
Our swimming pool services include weekly cleaning, one-time cleanups, monthly on-site water testing, and professional water-care support. Weekly cleaning can include vacuuming, skimming, brushing, cleaning baskets, checking the filter, testing the water, balancing it as needed, and adding appropriate maintenance chemicals. We also provide professional water testing and chemical delivery options. Because water conditions can change with weather, swimmer use, and other factors, regular testing helps us identify imbalances and recommend the appropriate adjustments before they develop into larger water-quality problems.
Can R&R Pools install or replace swimming pool equipment, filters, and liners?
Yes, we can install and replace a range of pool equipment and provide filter and liner services when existing components need attention.
Our swimming pool services include equipment installation, inground pool liner replacement, filter sand changes, cartridge cleaning, inspections, and related repairs. If equipment is aging, damaged, inefficient, or no longer performing properly, we can assess the existing setup and recommend suitable next steps. We also evaluate liners for wear, leaks, stretching, cracking, or other signs that replacement may be appropriate. Because every pool has a different configuration, we review the pool and equipment before recommending replacement or installation work rather than assuming every problem requires a new component.
Does R&R Pools provide swimming pool services for pools it did not install?
Yes, we service pools we did not originally build or install.
Homeowners can contact us for swimming pool services even if another contractor installed their pool. Depending on the pool's condition and the work required, we can assist with cleaning, water care, equipment inspections, leak detection, basic repairs, filter maintenance, liner replacement, openings, closings, and other ongoing support.
We may need information about the pool, equipment, previous installation, or current issue before scheduling certain work so our team can understand what is required. Our full-service approach is designed to help homeowners maintain and support their pools over the long term, regardless of the original installer.
