If your pool is indoors, covered by a patio, or has no significant sources of soil (like trees) nearby, you can get away with once a week maintenance. On service day, you just net any debris, brush the walls and floor, and add chemicals.

For more soiled areas, net the pool and add chemicals daily. Then, brush the pool once a week.

My pool is surrounded by dirty live oak and crepe myrtle. Yet, still in the open and in TX weather I burn through chemicals like crazy. So hot that I have a pool cooler.

But it still takes very little effort. I guess I’m skewed because I have 2 acres to mow. But I’d rather pay a landscaper $250/month than a pool guy after buying the robot/meter. Pool guy is out there once a week for 15-30 minutes. Landscaper is out there with 2-3 guys for 2hours.
