Pool Cleaning & Maintenance in Central Luzon

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.

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.

Weekly in swim season is the norm; fortnightly can work for covered or lightly used pools. Skipping service for more than a couple of weeks in warm weather risks algae, which costs far more to fix than routine visits.

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.

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.

Weekly service typically runs ₱4,000-12,000/month depending on pool size and location, with per-visit cleans at ₱1,000-3,000. Many villa owners instead train a caretaker and use a pro quarterly for chemistry and equipment checks.
