Pool service in El Paso

El Paso Water's conservation rules list letting water run into the street among the violations that can bring a $50 to $500 fine. When a pool company drains or backwashes, ask where the water will go and get the answer before it starts. The same rules fine a leak left unfixed for five working days, which is worth knowing if your pool is losing water.

The cover rebate is 50% of the cost, up to $100. Check El Paso Water's rebate page for the paperwork before you buy, since rebates set their own terms. Building a new pool is different work: in El Paso, pools are on the list of residential contractor jobs that need city registration, $100,000 of liability insurance and a $50,000 bond.

HomeGuide's national prices are the reference. Weekly or every-other-week cleaning runs $80 to $150 a month, about $960 to $1,800 a year. A first visit to a neglected pool costs $150 to $350, and opening or closing a pool about $300 to $550. A pump motor repair runs $50 to $300 and a replacement $150 to $800.

Pool maintenance is taxable in Texas, at a home or a business, and that holds even when a self-employed person does the cleaning. Ask whether the monthly price includes tax, and what chemicals, filter cleaning and equipment checks each visit covers, so you compare the same work. Our Texas pool service guide has the full price list.

TDLR lets a Residential Appliance Installer License holder install or replace pool pumps, motors, heaters, underwater lights, GFCIs and automation on the load side of the control center. A new or upgraded line circuit for that equipment is work only a licensed electrical contractor may offer, so call an El Paso electrician for it, and ask for the license number before work starts.

Fence rules in Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 757 cover apartment and HOA pools, not ordinary backyard pools, so ask Planning & Inspections what El Paso requires for yours. Supervision still matters: DFPS counted 88 child drownings in Texas in 2025 and says a child should never be left alone near water.
