Lake Elsinore mixes hillside neighborhoods like Tuscany Hills and Canyon Hills with newer communities such as Summerly, Rosetta Canyon and Alberhill. Hillside lots often have views and slopes in equal measure, while the newer areas tend to have flatter, compact yards.
Many Lake Elsinore pools were built in the 1990s and 2000s, so a lot of our conversations here are about remodels: rough or stained plaster, cracked waterline tile, dated coping and older single-speed pumps. A resurfacing job with new tile can make an older pool feel new without starting over.
Summer heat is the other constant. Hot water burns through chlorine, so consistent weekly balancing is what keeps a pool clear through July and August.
