Pool Maintenance

Our maintenance-only service is designed to keep your commercial swimming pool clean, balanced, and fully operational year-round. At Greater Houston Pool Management, we don’t just clean—we protect your investment through scientifically backed water chemistry management based on the Langelier Saturation Index (LSI).

By monitoring factors like pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness, and temperature, our trained technicians adjust your pool chemistry to maintain perfect water balance—preventing corrosion, scale formation, and cloudy water. With regular visits, detailed reporting, and proactive adjustments, we ensure your pool remains crystal clear, safe for swimmers, and compliant with health codes.

Included Services: 

  • Daily/weekly pool cleaning and water testing 
  • Chemical balancing and chemical supply management 
  • Pump room operations and preventative equipment maintenance 
  • Spring opening and fall closing services 
  • Off-season maintenance and inspections 

Ideal for facilities that only require expert maintenance without staffing lifeguards. 

Keep your pool clean, chemically balanced, and running smoothly with our expert pool maintenance team. GHPM ensures your water is sparkling and your equipment is in peak condition.

How Lifeguard Training Works

Ready to get certified? Here’s how it works!

If you’ve never been a lifeguard before (or your certification has expired), you’ll sign up for the Lifeguard Certification course. This class will teach you everything you need to know and certify you in Lifeguarding, CPR/AED, First Aid, and Blood-borne Pathogens through the American Red Cross. You just need to be at least 15 years old by the last day of the course.

If you’re already certified but your certification is expiring soon, you’ll take the Lifeguard Recertification course instead. This keeps your certifications current in the same areas, Lifeguarding, CPR/AED, First Aid, and Blood-borne Pathogens, so you can keep working without any gaps.

Just click the course that fits you, fill out the registration form, and pick a date that works with your schedule!

Lifeguard Training Class Requirements

Please review all information before signing up.

  • Must be 15 years old by the last day of class to register — be sure to choose a class that meets the age requirement
  • Bring proof of age to the first day of class (Driver's License/Permit with birth date, State ID, Passport, Birth Certificate, or School Transcript with birth date)

How old do I need to be to take the lifeguard training class?

You must be at least 15 years old by the last day of the class you register for. Be sure to choose a class date that meets this requirement.

Bring proof of age (Driver’s License/Permit, State ID, Passport, Birth Certificate, or School Transcript with birth date), a swimsuit, towels, goggles, a swim cap if needed, extra clothes (including a sweatshirt, since rooms can be cool), a pen or pencil, a notebook, and food and drinks for the day.

If you’ve never had an American Red Cross Lifeguard certification, or yours has expired, sign up for the Lifeguard Certification course. If your current certification is still valid but expiring soon, sign up for the Lifeguard Recertification course instead to keep your certifications current without any gaps.

Your American Red Cross Lifeguard certification is valid for two years from the date you complete the course.

If you’re unable to pass the prerequisites, you can practice and return to another class at no additional charge. If you choose to request a refund instead, you’ll receive 75% of the amount paid, with a 25% administrative fee deducted.
