Sq Ft of Pool: variesFirm: All About Pool Service
First of all the time a pool pump is supposed to run varies with the size of the pool. The price goes down if the pool is screened in, has a cleaner, or leaf catcher. There are lots of variables that change prices of pool care. And most of the time, depending on the type of filter, most are cleaned once a month. Along with ph and cl2 you will need to check stabilizer and alkalinity. And there is still more to it.
No one should allow any pool company to do work without first discussing the reason for the repair with the home owner.

First off, every pool is obviously different. Regarding, wind,Location of plants,leaves,debris. Use a floater with a quality tablet.in summer I add a gal.of chlorine a week. Approx. 1 pint acid. This keeps the PH @ approx.7.5 which is where you want it. This mimics our pH and keeps your skin from itching etc. After firing lazy...that set the pump @ 12 hours a day... I experimented with pump times,in the summer. First 6 hours. Pool stayed clean. Then 4 hours, still clean. After setting the pump between 2-3 hours, the pool stays clean. I could hear the neighbors pump go from sunrise to sunset, and reminded myself, to Never hire them.Pool co. Typically set the pump for extraordinary lengths of time. Experiment with your own pool, and you may be Very surprised to find your pump has been running 300% more than necessary

We do all pool maintenance ourselves. We've had a green pool that we had to clean back to clear and blue a few times because of storms and power outtages. To include all chlorine, equipment repair and replacement, algaecide, and clarifier $50-$60 a month is what it costs. If you have someone do it for you they do deserve labor costs above and beyond that.

Sq Ft of Pool: 17,000/GalFirm: Private Residence
I'm a 60 year old female and I clean our pool. Pump runs about 4-6 hours a day when it's cold & about 10-12 hours a day when the weather begins to heat up. Kreepy Krauly runs around the pool when the pump is on & I love it. I check the water composition weekly in cold months & about every 3-4 days when the pool water begins to warm up (solar panels); usually more often in the summer when we've temps that exceed 100. I brush down the quartz and tile weekly & clean out the basket and filter trap when necessary. I monitor equipment for problems (Kreepy Krauly too) and keep a watch on filter pressure, but average has been to pull apart and backwash once a year (cartridges). The $20/a month is based on an annual average for chlorine and acid. This is no big deal to me. If I have any mechanical problems I have a guy who will visit at a very, very reasonable price to check things out and fix them for me, but it's rare. It's nice to know I'm saving some bucks.

the price that are mentioned in this post are absolutely way to low. maybe in 1980 the only way a business could even come close to these prices is if everything was under the table and he lived next door. completely unreasonable

Sq Ft of Pool: 400Firm:
I clean pools and I'm good at what I do (very meticulous). If I hire somebody at $15.00/h + gas + insurance + travel time + chemicals then I'm probably making $50 per visit. I could probably charge a little less but my customers are happy to pay it and nobody has every complained. There are some companies around here that charge the same and the guys have no clue what they're doing.

Pool Maintenance
Amount: $165.00 per month
Posted by: Sherman in Tallahassee, FL.Posted: November 27th, 2011 11:11AM
Does the pool need maintenance every week during the winter? The pool in in Tallahassee,FL and not in use during the winter (4-5 mths). There is no cover on it. The $165 isn't a bad price, but it's a rental house and I'd really like to cut expenses if I can. Maybe every other week?

Sq Ft of Pool: 35000Firm: NEpools
pool closing start at $350 in the NEast however Pricing varies by area and region in the south (FL,GA,SC, ect) weekly visits are cheeper at like $40-$60 a visit because their season is longer or all year round .In the NE weekly visits run from $75-$95 weekly. I tell my customers a pool is like an expensive vintage car (Corvette,Porsche,Ferarri) its a luxury and very expensive to maintain. you dont see pools in the Ghetto do you? No its a luxury. And yes to repair as they see during a weekly visit is normal if it wasnt repaired chances are you would call in a few days and say my pool is green and its the pool companys fault. Also most company include Chemicals with their weekly service rate except for chlorine or shock, witch youd spend well over $250 on pool chems if you went to a store so your better off letting the pros do it for a weekly rate.

maintenance price
Amount: $350.00 per month
Posted by: Heartland Pool & Spa in Hartland, WI.Posted: August 23rd, 2010 04:08PM
We do pool maintenance and $400 a month is NOT
out of line. We charge $95 for a trip charge
and the 1st 1/2 hour for a normal service charge.
Paying a worker to add chemicals and to clean once a week is expensive. We don't make very
much money after all expenses are paid.

Their opening service is $225, vacumm, 1/2 hour, $90, weekly maintenance, basically throw some chemicals, $85, AND, they do the repair work without informing us the problem, just leave us a bill and charge whatever they think they should. Is this the common practice of the industry?
