In Florida, pools aren’t just for summer—they’re year-round escapes. Backyard happy hours, weekend cannonballs, and evening laps under the palms all depend on one thing: a clean, balanced, well-running pool.
But what does it really cost to keep your private paradise in top shape? The cost of pool service in Florida varies—and while it’s tempting to Google a quick answer, there’s more to the story.
At Fountain Blue Pools, we believe understanding the full picture of pool service costs helps you make smarter, more confident choices. So let’s pull back the curtain.
In general, pool maintenance in Florida ranges from $75 to $200 per month, depending on your service plan, location, and pool features. That price could include anything from basic water testing to full-on vacuuming, filter cleaning, equipment checks, and even algae treatments.
But here’s where it gets tricky—those numbers only scratch the surface.
What you’re really paying for is:
If you’ve lived through a summer storm in West Palm or cleaned your skimmer after lovebug season in Stuart, you know that Florida’s pool care isn’t exactly “set it and forget it.” Between the subtropical rain, intense UV, high humidity, and heavy usage, our pools demand more than the national average.
That's why we’ve designed every Fountain Blue service plan with Florida’s unique climate in mind—accounting for:
Think of us as your pool’s personal defense team. We spot the problems you don’t see—until they cost you.
Here’s a deeper dive into what might raise or lower your monthly maintenance bill:
A 10,000-gallon plunge pool costs less to maintain than a 30,000-gallon showstopper with a spillover spa and lighted waterfall. More surface = more cleaning time + more chemicals.
At Fountain Blue Pools, we offer:
Have weekend pool parties every Saturday? Or is it a quiet retreat used once a week? More swimmers = more skin oils, sunscreen, bacteria, and wear on equipment.
Saltwater pools offer gentler swimming, but they require expert care of the salt cell and careful pH monitoring—something we specialize in at Fountain Blue.
A screened pool collects less debris. A backyard surrounded by palms or tropical gardens? Expect more skimming—and a slightly higher monthly rate.

That doesn’t even count:
And if your water chemistry slips just once? You might be staring down a $400+ resurfacing repair or a burned-out $800 pump.
