Customized according to the provided data
Smart alerts for your pool
Possible leak detected
A loss greater than 1 cm per day may be consistent with a leak in the vessel, pipes, or hydraulic elements. A professional inspection is recommended to confirm the source.
Pool with high age
Pools older than 10 years are more likely to show wear in joints, wall penetrations, skimmers, and pipes. Annual professional inspection is especially important.
Previous leak history
Pools that have had previous leaks are more likely to experience problems again. We include additional leak checks in your schedule.
Salt chlorinator: special attention
Salt chlorinators require periodic control of the cell, salinity, and pH. We have included specific tasks for this system in your calendar.
Intensive use: higher frequency
Intensive or public use increases wear on equipment and the demand for chemicals. Control frequencies must be higher than those for a residential pool.
Special elements identified
Lights, waterfalls, spas, and climate control systems are critical points that require specific maintenance. We have added tasks tailored to your items.

Everything about preventive maintenance for pools
Professional information to keep your pool in perfect condition and prevent issues.
Why is preventive maintenance important?
Preventive maintenance of a pool is not an expense, but an investment that avoids costly repairs. A pool without regular maintenance can develop serious problems: persistent algae, pipe blockages, joint deterioration, damage to waterproofing, and water leaks.
Checking the critical points regularly helps detect problems at an early stage, when the fix is usually simpler and cheaper.
Leaks in pools: how to prevent them
Leaks in pools are one of the most common problems and can go unnoticed for weeks or months. The most vulnerable points are the light conduits, the skimmer joints, the return jets, and the buried pipes.
The best prevention is regular inspection: check the water level daily, perform the bucket test monthly, and request a professional review at least once a year, especially for pools over 10 years old.
Water control: pH, chlorine, and chemical balance
The chemical balance of water is essential for the health of swimmers and the lifespan of the pool. An incorrect pH can cause skin and eye irritation, corrosion of metal elements, and deterioration of the lining.
The pH should be maintained between 7.2 and 7.6, free chlorine between 0.5 and 2 ppm, alkalinity between 80 and 120 ppm, and calcium hardness between 200 and 400 ppm. Weekly monitoring of these parameters is essential during the bathing season.
The filter: heart of your pool
The filtration system is the most important part of the pool. It includes the circulation pump, the filter (sand, glass, or cartridge), the multiport valve, and the pre-filter. Each component requires regular maintenance.
The filter media should be changed every 5-7 years. The pressure gauge indicates when to perform a backwash (when it rises 0.5 bar above the normal pressure). The pump should operate without vibrations or abnormal noises, and its seals and gaskets should be checked annually.
Start-up and end of season
The startup and closing of the season are the most critical moments of the year for a pool. A proper opening includes complete cleaning, inspection of all elements, leak testing, and water balancing.
Proper winterization protects the pool during the cold months: shock treatment, winterizing product, adjustment of water level, and placement of frost protection. Poor winterization can lead to cracks, algae proliferation, and damage to the installation.
Maintenance according to type of construction
Not all pools require the same maintenance. Gunite pools need special attention on joints and tiles. Liner pools require monitoring of tension and sealing. Polyester pools must be checked for osmosis or delamination.
Each type of construction has its weak points: concrete can crack, the liner can puncture, polyester can develop blisters. Knowing your type of pool is the first step to effective maintenance.
When to call a professional
Daily and weekly maintenance can be done by yourself, but there are tasks that require a professional: pressure testing, inspection of buried pipes, waterproofing repair, and diagnosis of hidden leaks.
If your pool loses more than 5 mm of water daily, you notice bubbles in the suction, the filter pressure fluctuates, or dampness appears around the perimeter, it's time to contact a specialist like Telefuga for a professional inspection.
Cost of not maintaining vs. cost of maintaining
Regular maintenance usually costs much less than repairing the damage from a leak that goes unnoticed for months: besides the lost water, the pool shell, the ground or the installations can be damaged.
Spotting a loose tile or a worn joint in time usually avoids more complex repairs, such as those on buried pipes.
Frequently asked questions about pool preventive maintenance
We address the most common questions about pool care and the prevention of problems.
Prevention is cheaper than repair.
Proper preventive maintenance can save you thousands of euros in repairs. If your pool is over 10 years old, has had previous leaks, or you notice an abnormal loss of water, a professional inspection will give you the peace of mind you need.
