Keeping Your Luxury Pool Pristine All Year Round
A luxury swimming pool is an investment in both lifestyle and property value. But to enjoy it fully, proper maintenance and professional servicing are essential.
At Blue Cube Pools, we combine over 25 years of UK experience with bespoke, energy-efficient systems to ensure your pool stays clean, safe, and ready to use throughout the year.
This guide covers:
- Running costs and efficiency
- Pool chemistry and water balance
- Routine maintenance and professional servicing
- UK 2025/2026 best practices
1. Understanding Running Costs
Several factors influence your pool’s ongoing costs:
- Size & Type: Larger or heated pools cost more to run. Indoor pools have higher energy demands due to dehumidification and climate control.
- Energy Use: Heating, pumps, and lighting account for most running costs. Modern heat pumps and LED lighting reduce energy consumption.
- Chemicals & Water: Proper chemical dosing and water balance minimise waste and reduce expenses.
UK Example: A 10m outdoor luxury pool with heat pump and LED features costs around £1,500–£3,500/year for electricity, heating, and chemicals.
Blue Cube Tip: Combining energy-efficient pumps, heat pumps, and automated dosing systems is the most cost-effective way to enjoy luxury with manageable running costs.
2. Pool Chemistry & Water Quality
Maintaining the right chemical balance is crucial for safety, aesthetics, and equipment longevity.
Key Steps:
- Test Regularly: Monitor pH (7.2–7.6), chlorine, alkalinity, and calcium hardness.
- Use Precision Dosing: Automated systems like Bayrol dosing prevent over or under-dosing and reduce chemical waste.
- Shock Treatments: Periodic shock treatment removes contaminants like sunscreen, debris, and organic matter.
- UV Systems: UV technology naturally sanitises water and reduces reliance on chemicals.
Blue Cube Pools Insight: Proper water chemistry prevents algae growth, protects pool surfaces, and ensures swimmers’ skin and eyes remain comfortable.
3. Routine Maintenance Tips
A well-maintained pool stays beautiful, safe, and cost-efficient.
- Skimming & Vacuuming: Daily removal of leaves and debris prevents clogging of filters.
- Filter Cleaning: Maintain clean pumps and filters for optimal circulation and energy efficiency.
- Check Equipment: Regular inspection of pumps, heaters, and dosing systems prevents costly repairs.
- Seasonal Care: Winterise and summerise outdoor pools to protect against UK weather fluctuations.
Pro Tip: Blue Cube Pools recommends scheduling professional maintenance 2–4 times per year, depending on pool type, to catch minor issues before they become major problems.
4. Professional Servicing & Expertise
Even with excellent daily maintenance, professional servicing is essential for luxury pools:
- Inspections: Identify leaks, equipment wear, or structural issues early.
- Repairs & Upgrades: Replace outdated pumps, heaters, or filters with energy-efficient systems.
- Compliance & Safety: Ensure all installations meet UK building regulations, health, and safety standards.
