The Pool Community

Pool service pricing varies significantly depending on location, pool size, service frequency, chemical usage, equipment, screen enclosure, landscaping, travel time, and exactly what's included in the service.

That can make it difficult for both homeowners and newer pool companies to know what a reasonable monthly price actually looks like.

Pool owners: What do you currently pay for weekly pool service, what area are you in, and what's included?

Pool professionals: What do you consider a sustainable monthly price for quality weekly service in your market? Which factors cause you to charge more or less?

Please include your city or general market when sharing prices so others can understand the regional differences.

Route density can make or break a pool service business. Two technicians might service the same number of pools but have completely different days depending on drive time, pool condition, service requirements, equipment issues, and how tightly the route is organized.

Pool professionals: How many pools do you consider a realistic daily workload for one technician while still providing quality service?

Does your answer change for tightly packed routes versus spread-out accounts? And what have you found to be the best balance between efficiency and service quality?

If you own or manage a pool company, share what you've learned about route density, scheduling, staffing, and keeping technicians from becoming overloaded.
