For commercial pools at apartment complexes, motels, health clubs and other facilities, pool management can be a large expense. There are many considerations when maintaining a pool for public use, including meeting health and safety standards, equipment service, staffing and much more. If you own or manage a business with a pool, it may be in your best interest to hire a full service pool management company. Here are some benefits to outsourcing this portion of your business.

  • Expertise.  You can hire and train people to manage your pool area but having a pool management service that are experts on all pool regulations can reduce liability. Having hired experts to ensure your facilities pool is meeting all commercial standards can eliminate fines and legal issues.
  • Maintenance costs. It is not always cost effective to do maintenance for your own pool. Pool service companies can often clean and maintain your pool for an affordable fee. This saves you on wages, insurance and pool maintenance supplies.
  • Staffing coverage. Finding and training qualified lifeguards and pool staff is time consuming. Depending on your locality, there are certifications and other consideration when staffing your pool. A full service pool management service can provide full-time pool staffing or training for your company’s staff.
  • Equipment service. Just like any mechanical equipment, pool pumps and filtration systems need regular maintenance and service to work correctly. A full service pool management company can ensure your equipment is well maintained to save on repair and replacement costs.

Don’t let pool management become a stress on your business. Hire a professional full service pool management company to handle your pool maintenance.

Choosing a Pool Management Service

Do you own or manage a commercial property with a swimming pool? If so, you know how expensive and time-consuming it can be to maintain the pool on your property. Whether the property you manage is a hotel, apartment complex or housing development, you need to ensure the pool is kept clean and safe for anyone using the facilities. One of the best ways to do this is through a professional pool management service.

Finding the Right Pool Management Service

Although there may be plenty of companies in your area who offer pool management, they’re not all equal. Some only offer cleaning and maintenance services, while others have a full range of options available to clients. Before hiring a service to maintain your pool, consider these factors:

  • How often will they clean your pool? A community pool will need to be cleaned more often and to different standards than a residential pool. Make sure the service you hire offers adequate cleaning for a busy pool.
  • Do they do other maintenance? Most commercial pool areas will also have showers, bathrooms and changing rooms that needed to be cleaned and maintained. Choose a pool service that offers complete maintenance for your pool area.
  • Do they offer staffing services? Do you need a lifeguard for busy times on your property? Choose a pool management service which also offers staffing options for your pool.

With the right pool management service in place, you can be assured your pool is being cared for correctly. This can ensure the pool is safe for users, and avoid any costly problems which can occur due to health, safety concerns or lack of maintenance.

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

Comments Off on 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.

Choosing a Pool Management Company

Using a pool management company to manage the swimming pool at your residential development, condominium, apartment complex, or hotel is an excellent idea.  A good pool management services company can relieve the property manager from the time consuming hassle of managing the pool  and can usually do a better job of staffing, maintenance, and keeping the pool safe for users.

Before choosing a pool management company to assume the operation of your pool, make sure that they are a good fit an offer the services you need.  Do you only need the pool management company to handle cleaning and maintenance of the pool or do you need them to provide lifeguards and other staff?  Does the pool management company handle opening the pool in the spring and closing it in the fall?

Ask about their policies for hiring and training lifeguards and other staff.  Do they do background checks?  What certifications are lifeguards required to have? Find out how chemicals and other supplies are treated.  Are they included in the contract price or charged separately?  Does the pool management company handle larger pool repairs such as replacing pumps or repairing filters?  If not, who will be responsible for arranging the repairs and how will billing be set up?

Ask for and follow up on references.  Talk to other property managers about their experience with this pool management company.  Were they satisfied with the services?  Do they still use this company?

Finally, ask for proof of sufficient liability coverage.  In the event of an accident, the pool management company should bear the majority of the responsibility but if they are under insured, the injured party will look to the owners of the facility for damages.
