What this covers
A pool maintenance professional looks after water quality and keeps the filtration system working. The job covers testing and correcting pH and disinfectant levels, vacuuming the floor, brushing walls and the waterline, cleaning baskets and the filter, and checking the pump and its running times. It also includes small repairs, leak detection and preparing the pool for periods of heavier use.

Timing and emergencies
Emergencies are rare, but two should not wait: a pump running dry, which burns out quickly, and a fast drop in water level, which points to a leak. In both cases switch the filtration off and book a visit. Water that goes green after warm rain can be recovered, but the longer it sits, the more chemicals and filtration hours it takes.
How to choose well
- Decide whether you want regular visits or one-off jobs, and at what interval
- Check whether treatment chemicals are included or invoiced separately
- Ask who responds if the pump fails between the scheduled visits
- For holiday rentals, agree visits that fit around guest changeover days
