Pool Cleaning Costs in Florida: What to Expect for a Crystal-Clear Pool

Owning a pool in Florida is like having a personal vacation spot right in your backyard—until the water turns green and suddenly, it's more swamp than oasis. Regular pool maintenance is the key to keeping your pool sparkling, balanced, and ready for a swim at any time. But how much does professional pool cleaning cost? And what’s actually included in a maintenance plan?

At Fountain Blue Pools, we take the hassle out of pool care with expert cleaning and maintenance services from Boca Ration to Port St. Lucie. Whether you want a full-service package or just need help keeping your chemicals in check, we’ve got you covered.

How Much Does Pool Cleaning Cost in Florida?

Pool maintenance costs depend on the size of your pool, how often it’s cleaned, and what kind of treatments you need. Here’s a general price breakdown for standard pools:

• One-time pool cleaning (for a non-green pool): $85
• Monthly maintenance (full-service): $145
• Acid wash (for serious deep cleaning): $1,200
  
  

While these prices give a rough estimate, we offer custom maintenance plans designed to fit your pool’s needs and your budget.

DIY vs. Professional Pool Cleaning: Which is Better?

Some pool owners try to handle maintenance themselves, but without the right tools and knowledge, it can be time-consuming and costly.

DIY Pool Maintenance Costs:

• Chemicals: $50–$100 per month
• Equipment: Robotic cleaners start at $500+
• Time: 2–3 hours per week
  
  

Hiring a professional pool service means less work, expert care, and no guessing when it comes to chemicals and repairs.

Choosing the Right Pool Cleaning Service

Not all pool cleaning services are created equal! When hiring a pool company, look for transparency in pricing, a complete list of services, and certified pool technicians. Some companies charge extra for essentials like chemicals and filter cleaning—so always check what’s included.

At Fountain Blue Pools, we provide affordable, high-quality maintenance with no hidden fees. That’s why over 1,300 customers trust us to keep their pools clean, balanced, and ready to enjoy.
