Pools in Torre del Mar: maintenance for communities and homes
Of the whole Axarquía coast, Torre del Mar has the most communal pools per square metre. Blocks from the seventies and eighties with a pool in the courtyard, new buildings with rooftop pools, and a summer when occupancy multiplies overnight as seasonal owners arrive.
That profile changes the job. A communal pool isn’t managed like a private one: there are regulations to comply with, a property manager answerable to the residents, an annual budget that can’t be exceeded and dozens of swimmers a day in July. Total Pool looks after communal pools in Torre del Mar with that threefold demand in mind: compliant water, predictable costs and no surprises in the season.

Communal pools: what you need to comply with
Community pools fall into the category of shared-use pools, with obligations that don’t apply to a private pool: daily checks of residual disinfectant and pH, regular water analysis, a log of incidents and treatments, and specific water recirculation requirements.
We handle the technical side and keep the paperwork in order, so the property manager has it to hand if it’s requested. When something in the installation needs correcting to comply – insufficient flow, undersized filtration, unreliable manual dosing – we present it with a quote and a priority, not as a list of problems.
Before the season starts
In a community, almost everything that goes wrong in July could have been spotted in April. We do the start-up check in good time: condition of the pump, filter and valves, dosing test, checks on lighting and safety features, and an estimate of what will need replacing over the summer.
When the community decides to upgrade
Major improvements to a communal pool aren’t decided in summer; they’re decided at the owners’ meeting. And they arrive there badly when presented as a list of problems with no figures.
We prepare the proposal in the format the property manager needs: what has to be done, what can wait, how much each item costs and what happens if it isn’t done. If the work can be phased, we spread it over two or three years so there’s no need to approve a one-off levy.

Frequently asked questions about pool services in Torre del Mar
Do you handle water testing for the community?
Yes – the technical water monitoring and the log of treatments applied, so the community’s paperwork is always up to date.
Do you work with property managers?
Regularly. We provide a fixed annual quote and a report after each visit, which is usually what the property manager needs to report back at the owners’ meeting.
What happens if the pool doesn't meet a technical requirement?
We set it out in writing with the correction needed and its cost. The decision is the community’s; we provide the solution and the order of priority.
Can a fault be repaired with the pool full and in use?
Often, yes. It depends on where the fault is: in the plant room, almost always; in the pool itself, no.
