Pools in Torrox and Torrox Costa: year-round service
Torrox Costa has something that sets it apart from the rest of the Axarquía: many of its residents live here all year, not just in summer. That completely changes how the pool is used. It’s not about opening it in June and covering it in September, but keeping it in use – or at least in good condition – all twelve months.
Total Pool works in Torrox village and Torrox Costa with that approach: continuous rather than seasonal maintenance, heating and cover solutions so the water is usable outside summer, and equipment chosen to run all year, not just three months.

Year-round use: heating and a cover
Extending the swimming season here doesn’t require building work: it requires combining two things well. Heating adds warmth and a cover keeps it in. On their own, the first sends consumption soaring and the second falls short. Together, they let you use the pool from March until well into November at a reasonable cost.
Before sizing anything, we look at the pool volume, its orientation, how much wind it gets and how many hours of sun it receives. We also suggest the middle option, which is the most cost-effective for many owners: a solar cover and a pool cover, without a heat pump, to reduce heat loss overnight and gain a few weeks at both ends of the season.
Continuous maintenance versus seasonal maintenance
A pool that runs all year doesn’t deteriorate less – it deteriorates differently. The pump clocks up more hours, the filter needs more backwash cycles and the treatment has to adapt to widely varying water temperatures. In return, it avoids the classic closed-pool problem: reaching May with green water and a week of recovery ahead.
We plan our visits with that in mind: lighter in winter, strict monitoring in summer, and a full inspection at the two changes of season.
What happens if you don't heat the pool
An unheated pool in Torrox Costa doesn’t break down in winter: it simply goes unused for five months while still costing money in electricity and treatment.
There are two sensible paths. Either winterise it properly, keeping costs to a minimum until spring, or prepare it for year-round use. What’s expensive is the halfway house: keeping it running all year with no cover and no heating, paying to maintain a pool nobody uses.

Frequently asked questions about pool services in Torrox
Is it worth heating a pool in Torrox Costa?
If it’s used outside summer, yes. Thanks to the local climate, a correctly sized heat pump and a cover can add several months of use.
I live here all year. Do I need maintenance in winter?
Less often than in summer, but yes. Keeping the water circulating and treated avoids a costly recovery in spring.
What costs more: the heat pump or leaving the pool cold?
It depends on use. With a cover and a solar cover, the heat pump’s consumption drops considerably, because most heat is lost through the surface overnight.
Do you work with residents' communities in Torrox Costa?
Yes, including the water monitoring and records that a shared-use pool requires.
