Pool Maintenance – The Cost of Keeping Your Pool In Great Condition

The national average of costs when it comes to pool maintenance is $750. If you only hire someone to open and close your pool, you may be able to get it down to $150 but if you want full service during the entire season, you may be looking at costs of $1,050. Even the higher rates are not excessive when you think of the peace of mind you have in protecting your investment from ruin.

Keep Up Your Pool Maintenance for Health Reasons

According to the report by the World Health Organization on recreational swimming pool maintenance, daily and weekly treatment of swimming pools are recommended in order to avoid various health risks. There are a number of health problems that can come from standing water, like a swimming pool. Bacteria, viruses, and pathogens are just as glad to have a party as any of your guests that you invite over.

People that have lowered immune systems, as well as the elderly and children, are more susceptible to illness from pathogens introduced to the water through a variety of ways. Fecal matter, pests, groundwater runoff and more could be responsible for the introduction of pathogens to the water.

Pool Maintenance Types

There are a number of different maintenance tasks that must take place during the year. Depending on what time of year it is and the conditions around you, you will need different services. This is why it is important to know what you are doing or hire someone that knows what they are doing to help you do the work or to do the work for you.

The size of your pool is going to play a part in the cost of your maintenance. It only makes sense that a larger pool is going to have more pool maintenance cost than a small pool (spool).

Besides for the actual work that is done with pool maintenance, you also have to think about the supplies for the work you are doing. There are various chemicals that will also cost money when you are adding up the costs of taking care of your pool.
