on the package you want. It can be had for about 59 euros per month. It is cheaper to do it yourself, just don't listen to all the so called experts who make it more complicated than it is. A tub of chlorine tablets is about 25 euros and lasts all summer, a tub of chloro shock is about 25 euros and is used if the pool starts to look dirty. A decent ph test kit is about 9 euros and lasts for ages, check the ph weekly and adjust the ph with the appropriate agent as necessary. With a bit of effort it is easy to keep the pool clean, skim regularly, brush the bottom regularly, remove large debris from the surface and bottom each day, scrub the water line daily. Have the pump serviced annually and empty the filter weekly, clean out the skimmer boxes weekly, check the pump pressure regularly and backwash the filters if the pressure is high. Change the filter sand as and when but it can last literally for years. We do not drain the pool in winter or cover it, just decrease the amount of skimming and chlorine additives. the water has been clean all winter. This sound a lot of work but really is not once you get the hang of it. Use the money you save to enjoy yourselves
