A swimming pool maintenance company will come to your home once a week and handle your pool maintenance for you which is very convenient. For those that have a hard time paying for chemicals and electricity on the pool, the pool maintenance company will be a large expense. You can expect to pay anywhere from $125-$225 a month for your pool maintenance services. The problem with this is that it won't cover the costs of chemicals as well; those will all be additional. Most pool owners find that purchasing an automatic vacuum and learning how to balance chemicals is the best way to make pool care affordable and easy.
