Are you looking for reliable pool maintenance in the Var for your second home? A shimmering, crystal-blue swimming pool is the centerpiece of your villa in Provence—the exact spot where you and your guests relax during warm French summer days.
However, a pool in the South of France requires continuous, specialist care. Intense sunshine, high temperatures, and the notorious Provençal wind can alter the water quality in just a few days. Nothing is more frustrating than arriving—or having your holiday tenants arrive—to a pool that has turned green.
As your local Dutch-speaking partner, we provide expert maintenance to prevent just that. We ensure your pool system functions flawlessly, the water remains chemically balanced, and the pool always looks inviting. You enjoy all the benefits, while we handle all the work.
Pool maintenance requires custom solutions and technical expertise. We offer a full-service package designed to keep your pool in peak condition year-round—or specifically throughout the rental season. Our service includes:
During the summer months, we visit weekly or bi-weekly to thoroughly clean and inspect your pool:
Pool cleaning: Skimming leaves and debris from the surface, brushing the walls and waterline, and vacuuming the pool floor.
Filtration system maintenance: Cleaning the skimmer baskets and pump basket, as well as performing any necessary backwashes on the sand filter.
Water testing and balancing: Using professional testing equipment, we monitor pH levels, chlorine content (or salt levels for salt-water systems), alkalinity, and stabilizer. We dose the precise chemicals required to guarantee healthy, safe, and skin-friendly water.
Engels When autumn arrives, correctly preparing your pool for winter (hivernage) is essential to prevent costly frost damage to pipes and the pump:
Active or passive winterization: Depending on your setup and preferences, we lower the water level, insulate the pipework, add specialized winterizing chemicals, and install pool gizzmos, ice compensators, or winter covers as needed.
Spring opening: In spring, we perform a thorough deep clean, reconnect the system, rebalance the water chemistry, and get your pool completely ready for the new season.
In recent years, the South of France has increasingly faced severe droughts, leading local authorities to impose strict water restrictions (arrêtés de sécheresse). Unnecessary refilling or draining of a swimming pool in the Var can result in heavy fines.
This is precisely why professional pool maintenance in the Var is more crucial than ever. We closely monitor your water balance, check filter efficiency, and detect evaporation issues or micro-leaks early on. By maintaining perfect chemical balance, we prevent the need to drain and replace your pool water. This keeps your pool sparkling blue, ensures full compliance with local French regulations, and saves precious water.
We rigorously inspect your pool for (hidden) leaks to avoid water waste.
We advise and assist you in making optimal use of your pool cover (such as a slatted cover or tarpaulin) to minimize the evaporation of precious pool water.
English and Dutch-speaking communication: No complex French technical jargon. We explain the condition of your pool in clear, plain language and send a quick update via WhatsApp after every inspection.
Prevention is better than cure: Turning around a green pool takes considerable time, expensive chemicals, and massive amounts of water—which local French restrictions often prohibit anyway. Our preventive care keeps the water stable, saving you both time and money.
Experience with French pool systems: Whether you have a traditional chlorine pool, a modern salt-water system (electrolysis), or a pool equipped with a heat pump, we know the equipment and understand the unique challenges of the South of France region.
