Many factors come into play when estimating maintenance cost. Like how many gallons is your pool? A simple formula for an approximate size is : Length of your pool X (times) Width X average depth (6' in the deep end 4' in the shallow, average depth is 5') X 7.5 , and your answer will tell you the gallons of your pool. How much foreign material falls into the pool, total pool usage, hot weather and filtering system upkeep. Add up your chemical cost from that, and some good 'ol fashioned labor is all it cost's. An average cost per month for a 10' by 30' pool should cost about $25. Of course more pool traffic, more chemicals. more cost. But the enjoyment of the pool certainly makes up for any cost. Chemical tester strips are a must, buy some and learn to use them, they'll pay for themselves in the long run, avoiding costly shock treatments or worse, pool drainage, and acid washes.
The backbone of a healthy swimming pool is weekly maintenance. Your swimming pool may not be safe from harmful disease and bacteria without regular maintenance, especially properly balancing the water and ensuring proper filtration and circulation.
Typically, getting professional weekly pool cleaners cost around $75-$165 per month. While do-it-yourself pool cleaning runs $20-$100 per month for chemicals during the summer after initial purchase of pool tools including a vacuum head and hose from $50, and a maintenance kit with a wall brush, leaf skimmer, test kits and telescopic pole for around $60.
Looking to own and maintain a swimming pool? Here's a useful tip: always take measures to prevent bad situations from arising. The old saying "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" has never been truer in terms of swimming pool maintenance. Make sure you are regularly checking chlorine levels and constantly purifying the water. These activities are not difficult and should be done anyway, but should you neglect them, you could be looking at hundreds of dollars in pool maintenance - make the smart decision and prepare your home from the very beginning.
100 or so dollars a month.. a bit extra if you have service
more then my family can afford
15 bucks a month for pool cleaner
Put a cover on the pool to minimise sunlight on the water
Keep pumping it out as it builds up but don't block it of you may end up with a pool floating up out of the ground.
Due to evaporation you have to keep topping it up constantly. How much depends on the humidity of the air during any given time.
YES if you keep water running lol
Pool worms they come from the trees and blow into the pool. Keep up on the chlorine, make sure the levels are right and use the pool cover when it is not in use. The chlorine will eventually kill them and they will be filtered out.
You spray the chlorine gas engine and then scoop up the caterpillars with a pool cleaner net.2You could put something they can't climb up around your pool, but low enough so you can get in.
$15,000 and up more for a negative edge pool
They couldn’t keep their trunks up
depends how much you fill it up
I'm going to assume you mean the cushions that under the pool cover. They keep the rain water from pooling up on your cover.
Keep 1 to 2 chlorine tablets in Skimmer every day, depends on the size of the pool too.
$300!!
