Cost of pool maintenance
Rather than publishing one rate, tamam shows what multiple verified vendors charge for pool maintenance so you can pick the tier that fits the job and the budget.
Monthly contract, large pool or twice-weekly summer visitsAED 500–900
One-off deep clean and shock treatmentAED 250–600
Green-to-clean algae recovery (multi-visit)AED 500–1,200
Sand or glass filter media change, including mediaAED 400–900
Heat pump or chiller pre-season serviceAED 300–700
Nothing is charged until you have chosen a vendor and seen their number. There are no surprise call-out fees.
Avoid these
Judging the pool only by clarity
Sparkling water can still be over-stabilised, under-sanitised or corrosively unbalanced. Clarity lags chemistry by days. Insist on seeing actual readings for free chlorine, pH and, in summer, cyanuric acid, rather than accepting a visual all-clear.
Ignoring the pump room until something screams
A weeping shaft seal, a blocked ventilation grille or a timer reset by a power cut are all cheap catches and expensive failures. The equipment kills more pools than the water does; make sure the visit includes the pump room every time, not just the waterline.
Topping up stabilised chlorine tablets indefinitely
Every trichlor tablet adds cyanuric acid that never evaporates. By late summer the pool can be chemically locked, with fine-looking chlorine readings and dull, unsafe water. Dilution with fresh water is the only exit, which is far easier planned in November than forced in August.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my pool turn green two days after a sandstorm?
Shamal dust carries phosphates and organic matter that feed algae, and warm, marginally chlorinated water lets a bloom establish within 48 to 72 hours. The fix is prevention: brush, skim, empty baskets, extend filtration and consider a shock dose within a day of a heavy storm.
How often should filter sand be changed here?
Every two to three years is realistic in the UAE, shorter than the generic three-to-five-year advice, because dust load and near-continuous running degrade the bed faster. If backwashing no longer restores normal pressure, the media is due. Glass media typically lasts longer and resists channelling.
Do I ever need to drain the pool completely?
Rarely completely, but a partial drain and refill every year or two is normal practice, because a UAE summer of evaporation concentrates dissolved solids and stabiliser. Full drains are usually reserved for resurfacing, acid washing or severe chemistry failure, and belong in the cool months.
Do I really need a pool heater in the UAE?
If you want to swim between December and February, yes. Unheated water drops to around 18 to 22 degrees on the coast and lower inland at Al Ain, which most swimmers find too cold. An air-source heat pump is the standard fix, and many units also run in reverse as summer chillers.
What can be done about pool water that is too hot to enjoy in August?
Mechanical measures only: run the pump and water features overnight to shed heat, shade part of the surface, add aeration on the returns, or fit a chiller sized to the pool volume. No chemical lowers water temperature, and 36-degree water is also harder to keep sanitised.
