How much does pool service cost

If you have a pool in your backyard, you may be wondering what professional pool service costs. The truth is that it depends on the type of service you need and the amount of maintenance required for your pool. 
The most basic form of pool service includes weekly cleaning and chemical balancing. This level of maintenance usually involves checking the chemical levels in the water, vacuuming the floor and walls of the pool, brushing surfaces like steps and ladders, cleaning debris from filters, skimming and scrubbing surfaces, backwashing filter systems, running pumps and motors as needed, as well as adding chemicals like chlorine or algaecide when needed.
