Weekly during summer/swim season; fortnightly during winter for many pools. Saltwater pools with self-feeding systems can sometimes go fortnightly year-round. Heavy-use pools (kids, parties, pets) always need weekly to stay clear.
Yes, 2-3 quotes for ongoing service. Compare scope (test/skim/brush/vacuum/equipment check), chemical inclusion, frequency, and equipment age check. The cheapest quote often skips items that matter (e.g., no equipment check, no monthly water tests).
The core five: chlorine (or salt for saltwater), pH adjusters (acid and soda ash), alkalinity buffer, stabiliser (cyanuric acid), and algaecide. Your tech tests for and doses each one. Saltwater pools need salt top-ups every 6-12 months.
