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

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
