Monthly pool maintenance costs

I currently pay €80 a month for 4 visits, so €60 seems high for once a month. Once I am out permanently I will be doing it myself.

Most, if not all pools, need weekly maintenance, cleaning, chemical balancing, etc. so I'm not sure what benefit a monthly visit would do, unless you're doing the rest yourself?

I'm paying €140 a month for weekly visits, because our property is in a fairly isolated / tranquil location, if not, then I had been quoted €60 a month if the company could fit me in with other visits.

Hope this helps!

Wowser,  shocked at the pool charges, no doubt tax free what a great little earner that is. Nice little portfolio of 10 pools what a great retirement 

Hi Mick,

Oh thanks.  Just maybe I misunderstood and the price is for more than one monthly visit  :-))    Will check it out.    Hope you get to come out permanently very soon.      Anne

Our guy comes every week - 80 Euros/month. He is legal and he pays his tax.

Of course, the electricity and water to run the pool costs as much again.

Well I say, if someone is proactive, hardworking and willing then they deserve to get the work.  

Once they deducted their expenses and taken off their tax free allowance I doubt there would be much left over to pay taxes on.   I shouldn't imagine pool cleaning is a very lucrative job.

Thanks, Will.

That gives us a good idea of running costs now.

I think I misunderstood the price quoted.  It is probably for more than one visit a month!  :-))

Thanks, RichT  (   :-))    smile!

I think I misunderstood him and thought he meant that much for just one visit!

The info so far has given us a good idea of overall running cost and been very helpful.

We pay €50 per month and have a weekly pool clean/maintenance. We receive an excellent service
