Pool Maintenance

WATER BALANCE
Untreated, or improperly treated water can be a health threat. Chemically balanced and sanitised water, on the other hand, will provide a healthy and visually appealing environment for you, your family and friends.

POOL SAFETY

SOLAR POOL HEATING
Installing solar pool heating can increase the use of your pool by up to four months. By using the heating energy from the sun, the cost to heat a pool in this way is very economical.

SANITISING THE POOL
The primary reason for treating pool and spa water with sanitising chemicals is to prevent the growth of bacteria which would make swimmers and bathers sick.

GAS POOL HEATING
The ideal temperature for leisure swimming is around 25 to 26 degrees Celsius. This temperature is very rarely achieved naturally.

POOL BLANKETS
By keeping evaporation to a minimum, you not only save water, (approx 1.5 metres per year in the Sydney Metropolitan Area), but you also save on the cost of chemicals as you dont have to re balance you pool after topping up. It also reduces the amount of chlorine lost to the Suns' UV Rays.

HEAT PUMPS
Heat pumps are relatively new to the swimming pool market, however the technology incorporated in their operation has been used in the air conditioning and refrigeration industries for many years

OZONE
Ozone is a sky-blue gas and is formed naturally by the action of the suns UV (ultraviolet) rays splitting an oxygen molecule (O2) and one individual oxygen atom attaching itself to another oxygen molecule. This is ozone and is expressed as O3. It can also be formed when a large electrical discharge passes through oxygen.(eg. lightening). It is a relatively unstable, highly toxic gas which decomposes to re-form oxygen and is a very effective bactericide.

IONISERS
An ioniser is an ion generating device which is installed in the water circulation system. The device consists of....

SPA POOL MAINTENANCE
If you own a spa pool or hot tub, it is important to understand that it requires a certain amount of owner maintenance to ensure it operates properly and that the water remains clean and healthy
