A swimming pool needs to be cleaned and maintained regularly. There is more to cleaning your pool than skimming away the debris, checking the pH value, and adding chemicals. Hiring a professional pool cleaning team is well worth the cost if you want to ensure your investment’s longevity.

Factors That Determine Pool Maintenance Costs

The biggest variable in pool maintenance is where you are located. The costs will be higher if you live in an area where you use your pool all year. The maintenance cost depends on the type of pool you have and the surrounding landscape.  (Trees, bushes, etc.)

The size of the pool, the quantity of debris in it, and its construction material all affect the maintenance cost. For example, pools made of fiberglass have lower maintenance rates than concrete pools.

Maintenance Expenses of Your Pool

A swimming pool is a big investment that adds value to your home. Regular maintenance will keep your pool in top-notch condition and prevent potential problems that may lead to costly repairs. Pool maintenance involves regular checking of chemical balance, vacuuming, and cleaning the traps, baskets, and surfaces of the pool. A professional will provide this service on a weekly basis for somewhere between $150 to $250, depending on your pool.

Are All Pool Repairs Expensive?

You can expect to face a few repair expenses as a pool owner. If you’re lucky, your repairs will cost less than $100. If not, you could pay $20,000 or more. $900 is the average cost for most pool repairs. Leaking pipes, broken pool filters, heaters, or pumps may need to be replaced. The type of pool you have and the nature of the breakdown will determine the cost of the repairs.
