How Often Should a Pool Be Cleaned?
Having a swimming pool requires ongoing cleaning to keep it safe and hygienic.
Here’s a general guideline for scheduling pool cleaning:
- Weekly cleaning: For most residential pools, a thorough cleaning should be done at least once a week. This includes skimming, brushing, vacuuming, and checking chemical levels.
- After heavy use: If your pool has been used for a party or a larger-than-typical gathering, it’s advisable to clean it immediately to remove debris and maintain water quality.
- Seasonal cleaning: During peak swimming season, you may need to clean your pool more frequently. In contrast, during the off-season, you can reduce the frequency but should still perform regular maintenance.
- Weather impact: If you live in an area with heavy foliage or frequent storms, you may need to clean your pool more often to remove leaves and debris.
How Long Does It Take To Clean a Swimming Pool?
The average time it takes to clean a pool depends on its type, size, and the level of cleaning required. A quick clean, which involves skimming the surface and checking the skimmer basket, typically takes about an hour, depending on the pool size.
For a more thorough clean, you can expect it to take roughly three to five hours, while a deep clean may take a day or more, especially if the pool has been neglected. Please keep in mind that these are general timeframes and may vary slightly based on the specific details of the cleaning service.

How Balancing Pool Chemicals Keeps Your Pool Clean
Proper chemical levels help prevent algae growth, reduce cloudiness, and ensure that the water remains clear. Additionally, maintaining the right balance protects your pool’s surfaces and equipment from corrosion and scaling while also eliminating harmful bacteria. Regular testing and adjustments of your pool’s chemical levels are crucial, so consider scheduling routine checks with our professional pool cleaning service to guarantee optimal water quality.
Experienced Swimming Pool Cleaners
Deciding to invest in a pool is a big decision, but if cleaned and maintained thoroughly it can be a very worthwhile investment that will serve you and your family for many years to come.
However, cleaning a pool correctly and to the proper standard requires expertise beyond the DIY level of most pool owners. In other words, it is not a one-man job. Why not call the pool maintenance experts and let us take care of all the work for you. You worked hard to get the pool of your dreams, now spend your time enjoying it.
Advanced Pool Cleaning Equipment
A common myth that exists about cleaning your pool is that, like your kitchen or bedroom, it simply requires some elbow grease and a can-do attitude. While these things are important, maintaining and cleaning a pool is actually a little more complicated.
At Miami Valley Pools & More LLC, our pool maintenance professionals are skilled technicians that know how to optimize your pool’s longevity by employing the most advanced and trusted cleaning techniques. These include:
- Cleaning the skimmer weir and the baskets within the skimmer.
- Thoroughly scrubbing the pump basket.
- Scrubbing with thick bristled brushes above and just below the waterline.
- Brushing the straight walls of the pool using an extended brush handle and pole.
- Monthly checks of the filter’s pressure gauge.
- Backwashing at least once a month to ensure that water is not susceptible to greenness or algae.
Pool Vacuuming
To correctly vacuum your pool, it is necessary to have the right tools and equipment. At Miami Valley Pools & More LLC, our commitment to advance technology means that all of our customers’ pools receive the utmost attention. While automatic pool vacuum cleaners are reasonably effective, we recommend manually cleaning your pool with our skilled team at least once a month during the busy summer months. Using the manual option allows our team to reach the dirt, fragments of leaves and other debris that may be missed by the automatic cleaner. Our tried and tested method requires an industrial length pole and a durable vacuum nozzle. From there our pool cleaning professionals are able to move the vacuum head to those hard-to-reach places and ensure a thorough vacuum of your pool.
