Having a pool in your backyard is what most people would consider a luxury, but that doesn’t mean you want to overspend on the care and maintenance of your pool. Pool service can get expensive, especially if you pay an outside company to come for weekly cleaning, to balance your pool’s water chemistry, and to check your equipment. However, you also want to make sure you protect your investment, and that involves staying on top of all aspects of pool maintenance.
For pool owners who want a well-maintained pool, but are looking to cut their costs, here are some money-saving options:
Bi-Weekly Pool Service
At Aqua System, we offer bi-weekly service in addition to our full weekly service. Our bi-weekly customers get the same full service as our weekly customers, just not as often. Bi-weekly service is great for pool owners who are willing to do a little bit of work in between our technician’s visits in exchange for saving some money. This work might include running your own personal pool vacuum to collect debris from the bottom, skimming the pool’s surface when needed, and brushing your pool’s walls on occasion.
This option will require some work on your part, but you’ll save some money and still be able to rely on the expertise of our pool service technicians to do all of the chemical work and the bulk of the cleaning.
Chemical Only Service
If you’re willing to do all of the cleaning yourself, but want someone else to be in charge of the water chemistry aspect of maintaining your pool, our Chemical Only Service is a great option for you! You don’t have to worry about testing the water, buying the right chemicals, and adding the proper types and amounts—we’ll take care of that for you.
This is a great way for people to save some money who have the time and are willing to do the manual labor aspect of caring for a pool.
Clean Your Own Filters
Pool filters need to be cleaned regularly in order for them to effectively remove debris from your pool. While your pool’s skimmer basket and pump basket collect debris like leaves and larger insects, your filters capture whatever is small enough to pass through the baskets. Over time, they become clogged and need to be cleaned in order to continue to do their job.
Cleaning your pool’s filters isn’t difficult, but it is a bit time consuming. If you want to save some money on pool maintenance, cleaning the filters yourself is a good option.
Full DIY Pool Service
Of course, there is always the option to do every aspect of pool maintenance on your own. This is only recommended if you truly have the time and energy to devote to the task, as well as the willingness to learn how water chemistry works. If you don’t, your pool can suffer over time. Your surfaces can become damaged, algae can start to form, and/or the water could become unsafe to swim in.
Before you take on the task of DIY pool service, be sure to do your research, purchase all the necessary equipment and chemicals, and devote yourself to staying on top of things.
