Transform Your Pool: Before and After Images from the Team

There's nothing our team enjoys more than turning a pool nobody wants to swim in into one nobody wants to leave. Every week our technicians photograph the pools they service, and some of those before-and-after shots are too good not to share.

Here are a few recent transformations from across Sydney's North Shore and Eastern Suburbs, along with what it took to get them there.

Buried in Leaves: A Pool Brought Back to Balance

This pool hadn't turned green, but it wasn't far off. After weeks of leaf fall from the surrounding trees, the floor was covered, the skimmer basket was packed solid, and the water had taken on a dull, tea-coloured tint.

Leaves are more than an eyesore. As they break down in the water they use up chlorine, push the chemistry out of balance, and feed algae. Left a little longer, this pool would have been green.

Our technician started by clearing the load. That meant netting the surface, vacuuming the floor, and emptying the skimmer and pump baskets so the water could circulate properly again. The walls and waterline got a thorough brush to lift the stains the leaves had left behind.

Then came the chemistry. The water test showed low chlorine and pH and alkalinity well out of range, so we rebalanced it step by step and topped up the chlorine to get the pool sanitising again.

By the end of the visit the floor was clear, the tint was gone, and the water was balanced and ready to swim. The owner received the before and after photos and the water test results in their service report the same day.

Tip from the team: If your pool sits under trees, a leaf cover or more frequent autumn and spring services can save you a big clean-up later.

Waterline Tiles Back to Their Best

The waterline is where scale, sunscreen and body oils build up, leaving a grimy band around the pool. It's often the first thing guests notice.

With the right cleaning products and some elbow grease, we lifted the build-up and brought the tiles back to their original colour. Keeping the calcium and pH balanced at each visit helps stop the scale coming back.

Every Visit Is Documented

These photos aren't taken just for the blog. Our team photographs every pool at every service, and the photos go into the report you receive after each visit, along with your water test results and notes on what we did.

So even if you're at work or away on holiday, you can see what your pool looks like and know it's being looked after.
