Pool care in Croatia
Water chemistry is the part of a holiday house that punishes absence fastest. A pool left three weeks in July does not drift. It turns.
Getting it back then costs a fortnight of dosing and a filter clean. Everything here runs on a fixed interval instead, and the readings go into the report so you can see the water without being here. Every pool gets a plant survey first: volume, pump, filter type and the age of the media, valve layout, cover, and where the water goes when something leaks. The dosing is then calculated for that pool and that week of weather, not applied by habit.
What is included
- pH, free chlorine, alkalinity and stabiliser tested on site and written into the report
- Chemicals dosed and consumables supplied, itemised
- Skimmer and pump baskets emptied, surface skimmed, floor vacuumed
- Filter backwashed on schedule, pressure recorded, media replaced before the flow drops
- Pump, seals, unions and pipework checked for weeping and for noise
- Cover fitted, cleaned, dried and stored properly between seasons
The two visits that matter most
Winterisation: the level dropped below the skimmers, lines blown and plugged, pump and filter drained, the chemistry set for a standing winter, the cover secured against the bura. All of it photographed, so spring starts from a known state rather than from an argument. Season start-up: cover off and cleaned, water topped up and rebalanced, the plant restarted and run under load, the pool vacuumed and clear before your first arrival rather than during it.
When something is wrong
Losing water is the common one. We run a bucket test before anyone suggests digging, then check the fittings, the light housing, the skimmer throat and the plant, and give you a written opinion on whether it is evaporation, a fitting, the shell or the pipework. Pump and heater failures are diagnosed, quoted by a pool specialist from our partner list, supervised, and the invoice checked before it reaches you.
Where we stop
We are not licensed electricians and we do not open the electrical side of a plant room. Heater installation, bonding and anything that carries a certificate goes to a specialist firm. We source them, instruct them and supervise the work. That boundary is what keeps your insurance intact.

The smoke over Dalmatia: where it comes from and what it does to your house
The haze over the coast in September 2026 is drifting in from fires in Bosnia and Herzegovina, not from local ones. What smoke actually does to a closed-up property, and what it does not.

The bura is dry, sudden and violent, and it does not damage houses at random. It finds the four or five things that were already slightly loose.

Volume, plant and how the house is used. That is enough for a straight answer on interval and price.
