Pool maintenance for businesses

Nobody at your company wants to think about the pool. The point of this contract is that you do not have to.

How does a maintenance contract work for a business?

It works like any other facilities contract: a written scope, a single point of contact, a report per visit and a monthly invoice matching the proposal. In Lisbon and on the South Bank, ManutençãoPiscinas maintains pools at company headquarters, staff residences, event venues and serviced apartment buildings — weekly or fortnightly depending on use, with a written record of every visit and written notice of any anomaly before it becomes a shutdown. Contracts from €280/month with a weekly visit, VAT included. The first step is a technical visit to the installation, which sets the plan and the figure.

What a facilities buyer needs from a pool

Budget predictability. A pool treated call-by-call is a cost line that moves every month and is impossible to defend at a budget review. A contract with a fixed monthly figure and a written scope is a line you approve once and never see again — and that is what the buyer wants.

A contact, not a supplier. What consumes time in a facilities team is not cost, it is management: chasing a report, explaining the same problem twice, finding out in July that something should have been done in March. We work with a single contact, a report that arrives without being asked for, and written notice before a shutdown rather than after.

No surprises. A pool that fails the night before an event is a problem that escalates immediately. Most of those failures give weeks of warning — and the value of the contract is precisely in seeing those signs and reporting them while they are still a part rather than a shutdown.

What your organisation needs, and what we do

The left-hand column is not a legal obligation: it is what makes this contract defensible internally.

What your organisation needs	What we do
A predictable monthly cost	A fixed monthly figure with a written scope: chemicals, travel, testing and labour included
A single point of contact	One person accountable for your account, and the same technician wherever possible
Reporting without chasing	A written report per visit, sent automatically to the contact you nominate
Warning before a shutdown, not after	Written notice of any anomaly found, with its urgency and an estimate for the fix
Documentation for internal audit	A consolidated history of measurements and work done, exportable at any time
Clean invoicing	One monthly invoice per installation, so each cost centre carries its own spend

Rhythm through the year

Frequency is set by how the pool is actually used, not by the calendar.

Period	What happens
In-use season	Weekly visit with testing, correction and a report; fortnightly where use justifies it
Before an event	A preparation visit booked in advance, so the pool is immaculate on the day
Low-use season	Spaced visits with filtration and water held stable, never abandoned
Technical window	Replacements and heavy work planned outside use periods and notified in advance

What ends up in your file

All of it written to be read by someone who was not there: an auditor, a director, a successor in the role.

An installation data sheet: real volume, flow rate, type of treatment, equipment
A written report per visit, with measurements, products and work done
Written notice of anomalies, with urgency and an estimate
A consolidated history, exportable for audit
A written proposal with the scope in full, comparable against others
One monthly invoice per installation

What it costs

Contracts from €280/month with a weekly visit, VAT included — the entry figure, for smaller pools. The real figure depends on volume, use and the agreed frequency, and we give it in writing once we have seen the installation. The proposal comes with the scope in full, what is included and what is not, in a format built to be compared with others and approved internally without a second conversation.

Frequently asked questions

The questions operators ask us before signing. If yours is not here, call us.

Yes, one monthly invoice per installation, at the agreed figure and with VAT at the applicable rate. If you manage several installations we invoice each separately so every cost centre carries its own spend, with a single contact on the coordination side.

Yes, given notice. We book a preparation visit in the preceding days, which is the correct way to do it — a pool is only immaculate on a specific day if it was worked on in the days before. What is not realistic is a last-minute correction on a pool that has been under-treated.

One person accountable for your account, and the same technician on site wherever possible. The point is that you never explain the same thing twice or find out about a problem by accident.

A written proposal with the scope in full, the visit frequency, what is included, what is excluded and the monthly figure with VAT. It is a document built to circulate inside an organisation and be compared with others, not a number in an email.

We report it in writing when we find it, with the urgency and an estimate, and we do not proceed without approval. Repairs and replacements are always quoted separately from the monthly contract — that is what lets each item be approved on its own merits.
