Below we have gathered over 78 (to be exact) different prices from professional companies in Southwest Florida and calculated an average price of 2 visits each month and 4 visits each month. The price also depends of the size of the property, an apartment may be cheaper than a large family house. Square footage is key.


Note: Prices may have increased due to inflation and are location dependent.

Why does my pool lose so much water during winter time in Florida? This is usually caused by high evaporation, cold outside temperatures and low rainfall.
