Pool Cleaning & Maintenance near you in Ireland

Routine visits include inspection only. Pump, chlorinator or filter repairs are quoted separately, and in some countries repairs touching plumbing or electrics must be done by licensed trades.

A green-to-clean recovery typically costs several times a normal visit — it involves shock dosing, repeated vacuuming and filter cleaning over several days, and occasionally a drain-and-acid-wash for severe cases.

A one-off clean typically costs the equivalent of 1-3 hours of trade labour, while ongoing weekly or fortnightly service is usually sold as a monthly plan covering skimming, vacuuming, filter checks and water balancing. Chemicals are sometimes billed separately.

It varies. Some companies quote all-inclusive plans, others bill chlorine, acid and salt separately at cost. Always ask, because chemicals can add 20-40% to an apparently cheap plan.

Skimming debris, brushing walls, vacuuming, emptying skimmer and pump baskets, testing and balancing water chemistry, and checking the pump and filter. Chemical top-ups may be included or itemised.

DIY is viable if you test water twice a week and keep up with brushing and filter maintenance. Professionals earn their fee on chemistry balancing, equipment fault-spotting, and holiday cover — one missed algae bloom usually pays for months of service.

Per-visit rates (~€60-140) reflect scarce specialists and travel time. Most owners of indoor pools take quarterly plant servicing plus a monthly chemistry plan rather than weekly visits.
