Pools are great for bringing family and friends together, but they don’t come cheap. If you are reading this, you know better than anyone that just building a pool is a huge investment. According to Time Magazine, the average in-ground pool costs around $22,000 to build, which is enough to buy yourself or your child a brand new car! Because of this, it is essential to regularly seek out pool cleaning services.
We have put together a list of 4 reasons why you should hire someone to clean your pool regularly.
1. Algae grow at faster rates
If you are anything like us, you love living in Central Florida! Warm beaches, gators, people from all over the world: what’s not to love? Living in a subtropical paradise comes at a cost, though. As you know, algae grow at faster rates in humid areas, which can be a huge problem for pool-owners in areas like Palm Coast, Flagler Beach, or Ormond Beach.
2. Dirty pools can eventually cost you more money
Algae, dirt, and leaves are just a few things that can clog your pool’s filters and pumps. This can lead to increased maintenance costs down the road, whether its deep cleaning components or replacing them entirely. And if you wait long enough between cleanings, the life of your pool will decrease.

3. You could get sick
All of the things that makes a pool “dirty” can cause diseases and infections in people of all ages, especially children and older adults with weaker immune systems. Especially if you have children, your pool should be as clean as possible as much as possible. Children oftentimes swallow pool water and are sometimes happy-go-lucky with their bathroom habits. Yes, chlorine helps kill bacteria, but a pool with an unbalanced pH level can be equally dangerous, which is why we also recommend regular pool maintenance services.
4. It’s just downright unpleasant
Who wants to relax with a film of green algae touching their body?
