A healthy pool needs a mix of regular cleaning, good circulation and balanced water chemistry. That usually means skimming leaves, emptying baskets, brushing the walls, vacuuming, checking the filter, and testing and adjusting chemicals on a routine basis. Many pool owners also book a professional maintenance visit every few weeks to keep everything in top shape and catch issues early.
The 3 C’s of pool maintenance are Circulation, Cleaning and Chemistry. Circulation keeps the water moving through the filter and sanitiser, cleaning removes debris and build-up from surfaces and equipment, and correct water chemistry makes the pool safe, comfortable and sparkling clear. When these three are looked after, your pool is far less likely to go cloudy or green.
The cost of regular pool maintenance depends on the size and type of pool, how often it’s serviced, the condition of your equipment, and whether extra chemicals or parts are needed. Travel time and any one-off problem-solving (like algae treatment) can also affect the price. The best way to get an accurate figure is to request a tailored pool maintenance quote for your home or commercial pool.
A simple daily checklist might include skimming leaves and debris, checking the skimmer and pump baskets, making sure the pump and chlorinator are running, and doing a quick visual check that the water is clear with no strong odour. In hot weather or after heavy use, it’s also smart to test the chlorine and pH and top up as needed to keep everything in balance.
Most Australian pool owners find a professional service every 4–6 weeks works well, with more frequent visits over summer or when the pool is heavily used. Regular servicing supports your own in-between checks, keeps equipment running efficiently, and helps you avoid costly breakdowns or green-pool dramas.
Yes. Robotic cleaners are great for picking up debris from the floor and walls, but they don’t replace proper water testing, chemical balancing, filter cleaning or equipment checks. You’ll still need a regular maintenance routine (and professional servicing where needed) to look after your pump, filter, chlorinator and overall water health.
Absolutely. Consistent maintenance keeps sanitiser levels where they should be, removes debris that feeds algae, and ensures your filter and circulation system are working properly. When your pool is regularly cleaned, tested and adjusted, it’s far less likely to turn cloudy or green – even during peak swimming season or after summer storms.
