How much does pool maintenance cost?
Owning a backyard or indoor swimming pool is a luxury these days. However, regular maintenance check-ins and pool cleanings are necessary to extend your pool’s life and ultimately prevent costly pool repairs down the line. For these reasons, many pool owners hire a company to come in once a week, or however, they see fit, to keep their pool water safe and clean and all the pumps and filters working properly.
Average Cost of A Pool Cleaning
The average cost for pool cleaning is $90 a month for weekly service or about $1,032 per year. You should expect to spend somewhere between $150 and $300 for a one-time-only pool cleaning service, $100 to winterize your pool, and somewhere in the ballpark of $70 to inspect it for any problems or issues. How much money you will pay will depend on the cleaning you’re looking for, such as how big or small your pool is.
If you’re not looking to do anything fancy or drastic, basic pool cleaning is a baseline for what you should do when you want to clean your pool. Basic pool cleaning costs an average of $90 to $200 per session. That all depends, though, on whether it’s a one-time-only cleaning project or part of an ongoing annual contract.
What Does Pool Maintenance Entail?
To do basic cleaning, pool cleaning companies will send a professional to your house however often you’d like to inspect it and run tests. During a basic pool maintenance or cleaning visit, the technician will:
- Test water for cleanliness and pH levels, then adjust the levels if need be
- Check settings, filters, and all necessary equipment
- Sweep up debris
- Brush the walls
- Clean out the skimmer and pump baskets
- Wash the pool’s circulation system
