Thinking of hiring a pro to clean your swimming pool?
We break down what’s included in pool cleaning services—like skimming, vacuuming, and chemical balancing—and why expert swimming pool cleaners can be a game-changer for your property. Let’s dive in!
When most people think of pool cleaning, they picture someone with a net skimming off a few leaves. But cleaning a swimming pool is a lot more than that—it’s about maintaining hygiene, extending the life of your pool equipment, and ensuring a safe swimming experience for everyone.
If neglected, your pool can become a breeding ground for algae, bacteria, and all sorts of nasty surprises. And once those problems take hold, they can be expensive—and time-consuming—to fix.
That’s why professional pool cleaning services are so valuable. Let’s look at what’s included and why it all matters.
Most UK-based swimming pool cleaners offer a comprehensive service that keeps your pool in tip-top shape. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect:
Think of this as the first line of defence. Skimming removes floating debris like leaves, bugs, and other bits and bobs that fall into the water.
✅ Why it matters:
Algae love to cling to pool walls, especially in shady areas. Professional cleaners will brush down the pool walls, steps, and tile lines.
✅ Why it matters:
Whether it’s manual or robotic, vacuuming sucks up the debris that’s settled on the pool floor.
✅ Why it matters:
The pool filter is the heart of the system—it traps particles and keeps the water circulating properly. Professionals will clean and inspect filters during regular visits.
✅ Why it matters:
Chemical balancing isn’t just about chlorine. Pros test and adjust pH levels, alkalinity, and calcium hardness to keep the water balanced.
✅ Why it matters:
So, how do you know when it’s time to stop DIY-ing and bring in professional swimming pool cleaners?
Watch for these red flags:
If you’re seeing one or more of these, it’s definitely time to book a cleaning.
It really depends on your usage and location, but here’s a general guide:
Seasonal changes, weather, and nearby trees can also affect cleaning frequency. The bottom line? Regular maintenance saves you money in the long run.
DIY cleaning might seem tempting to save a few quid, but here’s why hiring a professional pool cleaning service is the better call:
Most cleanings take between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the pool size and condition.
Usually yes, especially if the chemicals are balanced correctly. However, if a shock treatment was done, you might need to wait 24 hours.
Robotic cleaners help, but they don’t replace chemical balancing or filter maintenance. So, be sure to continue with these activities.
Skipping regular cleaning can lead to algae, costly repairs, health risks, and poor water quality.
