Most Sydney pools need weekly or fortnightly service in the warmer months and fortnightly or monthly in winter. Pools under trees or with heavy use need more frequent visits.

Yes — salt, chlorine, mineral and magnesium pools. We test the water, check salt levels and inspect the chlorinator cell.

Most home pools are kept at roughly 1–3 ppm free chlorine, with pH around 7.2–7.6. Your ideal levels depend on your pool type and stabiliser level, which is why we test on site.

Yes. Salt pools still produce chlorine, so we test chlorine and pH as well as the salt level and check the chlorinator cell.

Many Sydney pools need a cartridge clean every few months, and more often in summer or after storms. A rise in filter pressure is the best guide.

Yes — if the media or cartridge is worn out, we'll tell you and quote the replacement.
