Weekly or bi-weekly pool service: which is right for you?

Most Palm Beach County pools do best with weekly service. Bi-weekly can work for some. Here’s how to tell which fits your pool.

Why weekly is the default here

Heat and strong sun use up chlorine fast, and from late spring through fall, afternoon storms add rain and debris several times a week. Seven days is about as long as most Florida pools can go before chlorine runs low and algae gets a start.

Weekly is the better fit if

  • The pool is unscreened or sits under trees
  • Kids, guests or rentals use it often
  • It gets full sun most of the day
  • Nobody checks the water between visits
  • It’s summer and rainy season

Bi-weekly can work if

  • The pool has a screen enclosure and little debris
  • It’s used lightly
  • You have an automatic cleaner and a salt system or chlorinator keeping chlorine steady
  • Someone checks chlorine and empties the skimmer between visits

Questions

Is bi-weekly pool service enough in Florida?

Sometimes. Screened, lightly used pools with steady automatic chlorination can do well bi-weekly. Most unscreened or busy pools need weekly visits, especially in summer.

Can I switch from weekly to bi-weekly later?

Yes. Plans can change with the season or how you use the pool.
