02. What Pool Cleaning at Bling Bling covers
The scope of work in Vienna at a glance — what the contract says and what actually happens on site.
Winterising and recommissioning
In autumn the water level is dropped below the inlet nozzles, pipework and pump are drained, frost protection is set and the cover goes on. In spring the empty pool is deep cleaned, filled, the values are set and the season starts with a shock chlorination.
Cover pit and pool cover
In the pit of a below-deck cover, water stands with little circulation, and that is exactly where biofilm sits on the slats, the walls and the roller tube. Slat packs are cleaned run out to full length, the pit is drained, brushed and vacuumed.
Overflow channel, grating and balance tank
With an overflow pool the channel, the grating and the surge tank come with it: solids settle in the tank and, with residual chlorine, form a layer of sludge that loads the whole water system. Drain, clean, check the level sensor and the float switch.
Pool material treated differently
Liner pools tolerate neither hard brushes nor a permanently low pH, tiled pools need work on the joints, and polyester and GRP pools no abrasive products, because of the gelcoat layer. What is used is settled at the pool once the condition has been assessed.
Salt electrolysis, UV and dosing equipment
The electrolysis cell, quartz sleeve, UV lamp, dosing hoses, injection points and measuring cells are checked, descaled or reported for replacement. A scaled-up cell produces less without reporting a fault — it only shows up in the water.
Whirlpool, jets and air channels
The air and water channels behind the jets are warm, barely flushed through and therefore the most critical point in the installation. They are flushed by a suitable method, the water is changed and the filter cleaned or replaced.
Private pools lie mainly in the hillside and outer districts — Hietzing, Döbling, Liesing and the Donaustadt — and to those are added roof and courtyard pools in new buildings, where equipment and materials have to go up in the lift and the plant room is in the basement. The fill water from the mountain spring mains is karst-derived and rich in calcium, which is why the waterline, the heat exchanger and the electrolysis cell show scale earlier here than in soft water areas. With installations in housing estates that are used commercially there are record-keeping duties on top, which we document as well.
03. Pool Cleaning: Bling Bling vs. the competition
A pool does not stay clear through chemistry but through circulation, filter performance and a stable pH — chlorine is the last link in the chain, not the first. Cloudy water, or water on the turn, almost always has its cause in the hydraulics: too short a running time, caked filter sand, a half-closed intake. That is why we check baskets, filter pressure and running time first, measure the values photometrically and record them, instead of adding more product and hoping. We give the cost range after the inspection, because pool volume, plant and use determine the work involved. In Vienna, Bling Bling works with the same core team that knows the building.

06. 10 reasons for Pool Cleaning from Bling Bling
What a cleaning company has to be measured against — and which of it can be verified.
1In business since 2014
A family firm, not a franchise and not a broker — whoever quotes also carries out the work.
2Registered core team
Permanently employed and properly registered. No chain of subcontractors where nobody is liable at the end.
3The same people every time
The team knows the building, the access and the routines. Cover is arranged and named in advance.
4€3m public liability
Personal injury, property and financial loss covered; the certificate is attached to the quotation.
5RKI/VAH-listed agents, HACCP
Listed agents, trained staff, a cleaning and disinfection plan for each building.
6Multilingual
German, English and five further languages — the briefing gets through.
7No price without a site visit
A flat price over the phone rarely holds. After the visit the framework is set out in writing. A monthly flat rate applies to weekly recurring cleaning; one-off and deep cleans by effort - hourly, per square metre or flat - travel included.
8Dated proof
Record of each visit and photo documentation, reported monthly.
9Building matters do not stay open
Loose coping stones, leaking joints, cracks in a tiled pool or a damp plant room are building work, not pool care. That part is taken on by our partner firm Skyline Bau GmbH, and we say so when we report the findings.
10Whatever is not in the water circuit is part of the visit
The cover pit, the overflow channel, the balance tank and the air channels behind the jets belong on the list — those are the places where an installation turns even though the readings are right.

Bling Bling works in Vienna, Graz, Linz, Salzburg and Klosterneuburg — with its own staff on site, not with subcontractors hired in.
08. Pool Cleaning for 5 typical situations
The same service looks different depending on the occasion — these five situations come up most often.
Whirlpool and spa water changes on a cycle
Small volume, high temperature, many users per litre: here it is the planned water change, together with flushing the pipework and the jets, that decides the water quality, not the dosing.
Before the sale or handover of a house with a pool
Buyers ask about the plant, its condition and how it is run. We survey the installation and the state of the pool, take the readings and hand over the documentation with photographs.
Frost damage after the winter
Cracked unions, leaking pump housings, burst heat exchangers and settlement at the coping show up when the pool is filled. We set out the findings and draw the line between what is pool work and what is building work.
Start of the season in spring
Clean the empty pool, commission the plant, fill, set the values. What is done properly here saves chemistry all summer.
Green water after heat or a thunderstorm
Heavy rain and pollen bring nutrients and spores into the pool, and heat accelerates chlorine consumption. That is a visit of its own with shock chlorination, flocculation and repeated backwashing.
★ Worth knowing
What is often misjudged about Pool Cleaning
Said up front, on the facts — not after the invoice.
Salt electrolysis needs maintenance; it is not maintenance-free
An electrolysis cell produces chlorine from the salt dissolved in the water, and on the plates precisely that scale comes out which never becomes visible in the pool: production falls off gradually without the unit reporting a fault, and the self-cleaning polarity reversal is not enough with hard fill water. Descaling is done to the manufacturer's instructions with dilute acid and without scraping, because the coating on the plates is lost in the process and the cell is then a spare part. The second point is the chloride load: salt water attacks stainless steel on ladders, handrails, cover profiles and screws as pitting corrosion, and it makes natural stone at the pool edge effloresce, which is why these parts are rinsed and checked after the season. Salt is not consumed; water loss dilutes it — topping up follows a measurement, not a feeling.
The pH decides whether chlorine works at all
Chlorine acts in water as hypochlorous acid, and the proportion in that form depends on the pH: at around 7.2 most of it is in the effective form, at 8.0 only a fraction. Adding more chlorine at a high pH raises the reading but barely raises the disinfection performance — and at the same time it loads the liner and the heat exchanger, because at a high pH and with hard fill water, scale comes out of solution. That is why the work always goes in this order: first set the total alkalinity as a buffer, then the pH into the range 7.0 to 7.4, then the disinfection.
Cloudy water is usually a filter problem
Filter sand cakes together over the years through grease and scale; the water finds channels through the bed and runs past the filter performance, while the pressure stays deceptively normal. Typical accompanying errors are too short a pump running time — the pool contents should pass the filter several times a day — and a backwash without the rinse afterwards, which carries sand back into the pool. The finest cloudiness, which the filter does not catch, is brought together by flocculation and then vacuumed off; the sand should be changed after about three to five years.

●. Frequently asked questions about Pool Cleaning in Vienna
What does Pool Cleaning cost?
There is no price before the site visit, and a figure given over the phone rarely holds. We look at surfaces, access and time windows, and then the cost framework is set out in writing with a schedule of services. What changes the price: the area, the frequency, the condition at handover and the time of day the work is done. Two rules apply everywhere: a monthly flat rate is only offered for recurring cleaning at least once a week, including stairwells. One-off jobs, first cleans and deep cleans are billed by effort - depending on the service by the hour at a higher rate, by square metre or as a flat price - and travel time there and back counts.
Is the site visit really free?
Yes, free of charge and without obligation. It is the only way to quote seriously, so we treat it as part of the offer, not as a service to be paid for.
Does the same person come every time?
Yes. The team is permanently employed and knows the building, the access arrangements and the routines. Cover is arranged in advance and named, and it works from the building log, not from a verbal handover.
Is your staff properly registered?
All of them, with social insurance. No chain of subcontractors in which nobody is liable at the end. Proof is provided on request.
What insurance is in place?
Public liability of €3m, covering personal injury, property damage and financial loss. The certificate is attached to the quotation.
What happens if something is not right?
It is put right within 48 hours, in writing, at no extra cost. Measured against the schedule of services and a joint inspection, not against an impression.
Can you work outside business hours?
Yes — early, late, at weekends or on public holidays. In occupied buildings, daytime cleaning in sections is often the better option, because the client sees the work and can raise anything immediately.
Do I have to provide materials or a room?
Materials and equipment we bring. What helps is a lockable store with a slop sink, space for the trolley and somewhere for pads to dry — damp pads in a closed bag are the most common source of smell in an otherwise clean building.
What notice period applies?
The contract is terminable monthly. There is no minimum term and no automatic extension by the year.
Do you also work in English?
Yes — German, English and five further languages. The briefing gets through, which matters more on site than it sounds.
Which documents do I get?
A schedule of services with frequencies, a dated record of each visit, photo documentation before and after, and a monthly report.
How quickly can you start?
Usually within a few working days of the quotation being accepted. Short-notice jobs are most readily possible in Vienna, because travel times within a district are short.
