Pool Management

Over the past few years, the area has seen an explosion of new single and multifamily properties that have communal pools for the residents of the community and their guests to enjoy.  Many communities have found that using a full service pool management company eliminates one of the biggest headaches that property managers of neighborhoods, condominium and apartment complexes face during the pool season.

One of the biggest challenges that property managers face is finding, training and managing qualified lifeguards to staff the pool during operating hours.  There is nothing worse than dealing with irate residents that are unable to use the pool because the lifeguard did not show up that day!  Many property managers utilize pool management companies for that reason alone, as they have a staff of experienced, certified and trained lifeguards available to staff their client’s pools whenever they are open.  They also have the ability to provide additional guards as necessary as well as replacement guards when the regular guard has a day off or is sick.

Property managers also appreciate the ability to turn over the complete maintenance of the pool to a management company, as it allows the maintenance staff to concentrate on other tasks within the community.  The maintenance of the pool can include such things as getting the pool ready for the season, coordinating inspections with the health department or other government agencies, maintaining the proper balance of chemicals in the pool, pool cleaning, taking care of the deck and the bathrooms and winterizing the pool for the off season.  In most cases, the exact scope of work required of a pool management company is totally customized to the needs of the property owner!

Why Use a Pool Management Service

If you are a property manager, homeowners association, or operate a hotel or other commercial facility that has a swimming pool, you know that a swimming pool can be huge attraction for potential home buyers, apartment and condominium tenants, vacationers and travelers. In some parts of the country, a pool is almost a necessity to profitably operate a hotel or apartment complex.  Despite their attractiveness and desirability, pools pose problems for any type of business.

A swimming pool can be a lot of fun, but managing the pool can be a headache. First, there is the cost and hassle of maintaining the pool.  Pool maintenance includes servicing and repairing the pumps, filters, and other equipment along with cleaning debris from the pool and maintaining the proper chemical balance in the pool.

Pools at commercial facilities have to be clean and full of clear, sparkling water at all times.  Proper maintenance is critical for preventing accidents and preventing damage to the pool.  Ironically, community and commercial swimming pools are harder to keep clean and properly maintained because they are heavily used and it is difficult to control the contaminants that enter the pool.

In addition, liability is a huge issue and keeping pool users safe is very important.  Finding, training, and managing reliable lifeguards and other staff can be a constant battle.

You can avoid most or all of these issues by using a professional swimming pool management service instead of managing the pool yourself.  A professional management company will be fully insured and assume responsibility for the safety of the pool along with the liability for any accidents or injuries.  They also provide staffing and maintenance services which relieves the property manager or business owner from a huge burden.  If you are tired of the hassles of managing the swimming pool at your facility, speak to a professional pool management company.
