    Default Pool Cleaning, Pool Maintenance

    Pool cleaning and pool maintenance does anybody include this in there list of services and if so is it a good earner.

    I'm trying new things to think outside the square and seperate myself from the flock is this one to look at?

    A fair few of my clients have pool cleaners/maintenance guys/girls and from talking to them most are charging between $70 and $90 inc GST and a small amount of chemicals per visit every 2 weeks from October through to April moving to a monthly visit over winter with most visits lasting between half an hour and an hour.

    For me it looks like a good add on probably better rates than gardening and far easier for mine what do others think?

    Scoob, the guy I just put on, that was his last job (his own business).
    The prices u quoted r exactly what he's telling me.
    He's also an ex Jim of 10 yrs.
    Down from the sunshine coast.
    Will need to pick his brain a little further down the track, but no use at the moment as we cant keep up.
    Cheers Fred.

    and according to the movies you'll get heaps of hot chicks
    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you

    What another Queenslander r u intercepting them at the border lol, why would you leave the Sunshine Coast is beyond me.

    The rates seem good hey and the work easy so could be a good add on, you might have to organize a fish and beer session with him and we'll pick his brain for tips and tricks.

    Courty not as many down here but there wouldn't be as many pools either rates seem good at present from what i've researched.

    And yes Ian i think i've seen one or two of those movies you r talking about.
