Swimming Pool Maintenance in Egypt
Fox Pools maintains residential and commercial swimming pools in Egypt and has worked on pools here since 1993. Choose a periodic maintenance contract or a one-off service visit; the equipment we install is made by our sister company Waterstar in Badr City, and every component is available as a spare part. This page explains how to choose a maintenance company, what maintenance covers, and what drives the cost.
Pool Maintenance Companies — How to Choose the Right One
- Engineer supervision: an engineer follows the work, not just a technician on the visit.
- Written, agreed water-chemistry targets: chlorine and pH ranges defined and logged each visit.
- A clear way of handling faults, agreed before you sign: who you call and what happens next.
- Availability of spare parts for your equipment, so repairs are not delayed.
- A clear written scope: what is included in the contract and what is not.
- A report after every visit: readings, work done, and any notes on the equipment.
What Pool Maintenance Covers
Water balancing & chemical treatment
Testing chlorine and pH and correcting them with measured dosing so the water stays safe and clear.
Filter backwash & media check
Regular backwashing and inspection of the filter media so filtration efficiency holds through the season.
Pump & electromechanical servicing
Checking the pump, valves, control panel and electrical connections, and setting correct runtime.
Vacuuming & brushing
Vacuuming the floor and brushing walls and waterline to prevent deposits and algae growth.
Skimmer & baskets
Cleaning the skimmer and pump baskets and confirming unrestricted suction flow.
Water level & lighting check
Reviewing water level and inspecting underwater lights, transformers, and electrical safety.
Leak inspection
Checking fittings, lines, and water-loss indicators so leaks are found early.
Seasonal opening & closing
Preparing seasonal pools for the start of the season and closing them properly at the end.
Pool Maintenance Prices — What Drives the Cost
There is no single maintenance price that fits every pool, because the work itself differs from one pool to the next. These are the factors that set the cost:
- Pool size and type — an overflow pool also needs its gutter, grating and balance tank cleaned.
- Visits per month, the season, and whether the pool is closed in winter.
- How the pool is used — villa, compound or hotel — and the number of users.
- Whether chemicals are included in the contract or charged separately.
- The condition and age of the equipment, and whether it needs repair before the contract starts.
- Extras such as a jacuzzi, a children's pool, heating or water features.
- Location and distance, especially for seasonal pools on the North Coast and in Ain Sokhna.
That is why we inspect the pool, its equipment and how it is used first, then give a clear quote for the maintenance plan.
What a Pool Maintenance Contract Should State
- Visit frequency and the tasks carried out at each visit.
- Target chlorine and pH ranges, logged at every visit.
- Whether chemicals are included.
- How spare parts and repairs outside the routine visit are priced.
- How faults are handled and how to reach the team when one occurs.
- A written report after each visit with readings and work done.
- Seasonal opening and closing for seasonal pools.
- Exclusions stated clearly.
Maintenance Plans — One-Off Visit or Periodic Contract
You can book a one-off service visit to resolve a specific problem such as cloudy water or a pump fault, or subscribe to a periodic contract on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly cycle. A contract gives you a written visit scope and continuous tracking of equipment condition.
We recommend the right plan after inspecting the pool, its equipment, and how it is used — request an assessment and a clear quote.
If routine maintenance is no longer enough — tiles coming away, a leak, or ageing equipment — see our guide to pool renovation.

Pool Maintenance FAQs
How do I choose a pool maintenance company?
Look for engineer supervision, written water-chemistry targets logged at every visit, a clear written contract scope, a report after each visit, spare parts available for your equipment, and an agreed way of handling faults.
How often should a swimming pool be serviced?
Weekly for heavily used pools, fortnightly for normal home use, plus a full monthly equipment review.
What does a pool maintenance service include?
Water balancing and chemical treatment, cleaning of floor, walls and skimmer, filter backwashing, and inspection of the pump, equipment and lighting.
What determines pool maintenance prices?
Pool size and type (skimmer or overflow), the number of visits per month, how the pool is used, whether chemicals are included, the condition of the equipment, and extras such as a jacuzzi, a children’s pool or heating. We inspect the pool first and give a clear quote before any work begins.
What should a pool maintenance contract include?
Visit frequency and the tasks at each visit, target chlorine and pH ranges, whether chemicals are included, how spare parts and repairs are priced, how faults are handled, reporting, seasonal opening and closing, and exclusions.
Do you offer periodic maintenance contracts?
Yes — weekly, bi-weekly or monthly contracts depending on pool size and use, with a written visit scope and regular tracking of equipment condition.
How do I keep my pool water clear?
Keep chlorine and pH balanced, run the filter long enough each day, and clean the skimmer and filter regularly. Routine servicing is what stops water turning green.
What are the signs a pool needs urgent servicing?
Cloudy or green water, weak pump suction, rising filter pressure, or a water level that keeps dropping.
Do you repair pumps, filters and lighting?
Yes. We repair and replace pumps, filters, underwater lights and electrical panels, and every component of the Waterstar equipment we install is available as a spare part.
Which areas do you cover for maintenance?
New Cairo, Sheikh Zayed and 6th of October, Madinaty, the North Coast, and Ain Sokhna — other areas by arrangement.
