# Chemical-only service

Chemical-only service is a plan that tests and adds chemicals but does not clean the pool.

The tech checks the water and adds what it needs. You or someone else brushes, skims, and vacuums. It can suit owners who like to do the cleaning.

The risk is that debris builds up between visits. Baskets, filters, and walls still need care. Ask who covers filter cleaning and what happens after a storm. Marina Pool Services lists water testing and chemical balance within its weekly service. Pick this plan only if you can keep up the cleaning each week.
