Water & maintenance
What annual maintenance budget for a pool?
A pool is meant to be enjoyed; it also needs maintaining. Here are the items to plan for and how to keep this budget under control.
Good news: maintaining a pool costs less than you might think, especially with the right equipment. Let's go through the items, then see how to simplify it.
The maintenance items
- Treatment products (salt or chlorine, pH, anti-algae): the most regular item.
- The electricity for filtration (and for the heat pump if you heat the water).
- Water: mainly the top-up due to evaporation, limited by a cover.
- Spring start-up and autumn winterising.
- Small equipment: robot, cleaning products, consumables.
How to reduce the bill
- A cover (slatted or tarpaulin): less evaporation, fewer products, warmer water. The most cost-effective investment.
- Salt electrolysis: cheaper in use than chlorine tablets.
- Well-adjusted filtration (or even variable-speed): a big electricity saving.
- Regular maintenance: water that is kept in check consumes fewer products than water you have to "catch up on".

How much does pool maintenance cost per year?
It depends on the size, the treatment and whether or not you heat the water. If you delegate, our annual contracts start at CHF 1490 all-inclusive; on your own, the products and energy budget remains variable depending on your installation.
Does a cover really save money?
Yes, it's the most cost-effective piece of equipment: it reduces evaporation (less water and fewer products), keeps the water warmer (less heating) and limits debris (less cleaning).
Salt or chlorine: which one costs less?
In use, salt electrolysis is generally cheaper than chlorine tablets, once the electrolyser is installed. See our comparison.
Does the maintenance contract include winterising?
Yes, our annual contracts include start-up and winterising. Winterising is guaranteed, and payment can be spread out in instalments.
