Pool maintenance
in Marbella.
Crystal-clear water all year round.

A weekly visit with water testing, chlorine and pH adjustment, cleaning of the floor, walls, baskets and skimmers, backwashing the filter and checking the pump and pipework. If I find a fault, I tell you before touching anything.

Yes, and without draining it in most cases. With shock treatment, flocculant, brushing and continuous filtration a green pool is crystal clear again in about two days.

Roughly every three to five years, depending on use. Once the sand compacts the filter stops filtering even though the pump runs: the water stays cloudy however much chlorine you add.

If you use the pool often, yes: it cuts chemical consumption a lot and the water is kinder on skin and eyes. It does need servicing — the plates scale up — but the annual cost comes down.

Yes. Winter is the right time for sand changes, regrouting and repairs, and winter maintenance is what stops you reaching May with a green pool.

Marbella, San Pedro de Alcántara, Nueva Andalucía, Estepona, Fuengirola, Mijas, La Cala de Mijas, Benalmádena and Calahonda. If your urbanisation isn't on the list, just ask.

Not the shell itself. I do handle the pipework pre-installation before the concrete goes in and the complete filtration installation, which is what decides whether the pool works properly afterwards.
