A swimming pool can be a great addition to a home, but it does require regular maintenance to keep the water and equipment in suitable condition. Whether you maintain the pool yourself or hire a contractor, tasks such as checking the water chemistry, cleaning filters and removing debris need to be carried out regularly.
Pool water should be tested in line with the guidance for your particular system, with adjustments made where required. Filters may also need cleaning or backwashing depending on the type of system and the pressure readings. Skimmer baskets and pump strainers should be checked regularly, as a build-up of debris can restrict water circulation.
Pool walls, tiles and other surfaces should also be cleaned to reduce the build-up of dirt, algae and mineral deposits. Pumps and filtration equipment should be operated according to the manufacturer's instructions and the requirements of the pool.
Damaged or missing drain covers and suction fittings should be dealt with promptly, as they can present a serious safety risk. If you notice a problem with the pool's suction system, avoid using the pool until it has been checked and repaired.
If you do not have the time or equipment to maintain your swimming pool yourself, you can hire a swimming pool maintenance contractor to carry out regular servicing and cleaning.
Maintenance contracts can include tasks such as checking water chemistry, cleaning the pool, inspecting filtration equipment and carrying out routine maintenance. The services included will vary between companies, so compare contracts carefully and check which chemicals, repairs and replacement parts are included in the price.
Swimming pool maintenance costs will depend on the size of the pool, the equipment installed and the level of service required. As a rough guide, a basic pool clean and chemical balance check may start from around £99, while a more comprehensive service may cost around £200. Chemicals and replacement parts may cost extra.
Some companies also offer regular maintenance contracts with scheduled visits throughout the year. To get a more accurate price for your pool, click the "post your job" button on this page to compare written quotes from local swimming pool maintenance contractors.
