Cleaning & Maintenance

Pool Cleaning

Each visit includes a thorough clean of your pool — skimming the surface, vacuuming the floor, brushing the walls and tiles, emptying skimmer baskets and pump baskets, and clearing any debris from the waterline. We make sure your pool looks clean and inviting every time we leave, not just chemically balanced on paper.

Chemical Balancing

We test your water on every visit and adjust your chemical levels as needed. This includes checking and correcting pH, total alkalinity, free chlorine, combined chlorine, calcium hardness and stabiliser levels. Maintaining the right balance protects your pool surfaces, extends the life of your equipment and keeps the water safe and comfortable for swimming.

Equipment Checks

On each visit we check that your pump, filter, chlorinator and other equipment are operating correctly. We look for signs of wear, unusual noise, reduced flow, error codes or anything that could indicate a developing problem. Catching equipment issues early avoids costly breakdowns and keeps your system running efficiently.

Salt Level Monitoring

For saltwater pools, we monitor your salt levels on every visit and top up as needed to ensure your chlorinator is producing adequate chlorine. Heavy rain, which is common in the Northern Rivers, can dilute your salt concentration quickly, so regular monitoring is essential.

Filter Maintenance

We backwash sand filters, clean cartridge filters and check filter pressure on every visit. A clean, well-maintained filter is the workhorse of your pool system, and keeping it in good condition is one of the most important things you can do for water clarity and overall pool health.

Seasonal Adjustments

As the seasons change in Byron Shire and the Northern Rivers, so do the demands on your pool. In summer, higher temperatures and heavier usage mean more frequent chemical adjustments, algae vigilance and increased filtration. In the cooler months, we adjust your maintenance routine to reflect lower usage while still keeping your water balanced and your equipment protected.

Homeowners

For homeowners across Byron Bay, Mullumbimby, Bangalow, Brunswick Heads, Ballina, Lismore and the wider Northern Rivers, our maintenance services take the hassle out of pool ownership. Whether you swim every day or only use your pool on weekends, a regular maintenance plan keeps your water clean, your chemicals balanced and your equipment in good working order without you having to think about it. Many of our homeowner clients started with us after struggling to keep on top of pool care themselves — once they experienced the convenience of professional maintenance, they never looked back.

Airbnb Hosts and Short-Stay Accommodation

Byron Shire has one of the strongest short-stay accommodation markets in regional Australia, and a clean, inviting pool is one of the biggest drawcards for guests. Dirty water, algae, cloudy pools or faulty equipment can lead to bad reviews, guest complaints and lost bookings. We work with Airbnb hosts across the region to keep pools guest-ready between bookings with scheduled maintenance visits that cover cleaning, chemical balancing and equipment checks. Your pool is always sparkling when the next guest arrives, and you do not have to worry about managing it yourself between turnovers.

Rental Property Managers

For property managers looking after rental properties with pools, maintenance compliance and tenant satisfaction are ongoing responsibilities. Our scheduled services ensure that rental property pools are kept in a safe, healthy condition all year round, reducing the risk of complaints, damage claims and compliance issues. We provide regular reports and can flag any equipment issues that need attention before they become costly problems.

Strata and Body Corporate

Strata and body corporate pools serve multiple residents and typically have higher usage and stricter compliance requirements than private pools. We provide maintenance services for strata pools across Byron Shire and the Northern Rivers, covering all cleaning, chemical balancing, equipment monitoring and reporting requirements. Our team understands the expectations and responsibilities that come with communal pool management and we deliver consistent, documented service that strata managers can rely on.

Zodiac G2

Our preferred choice and the cleaner we recommend most often. Built on the exclusive Barracuda technology that has been trusted by pool owners for over 20 years, the Zodiac G2 is suitable for all surfaces in both in-ground and above-ground pools. It uses a quiet diaphragm operation to systematically clean the entire pool floor, and it is simple, reliable and effective. If you want one cleaner that does the job without any fuss, the G2 is it.

Onga Lil Hammer

The Onga Lil Hammer is our recommendation for pool owners who want a reliable cleaner at a budget-friendly price. It operates on a similar diaphragm suction principle to the Barracuda range with just one moving part, making it one of the simplest pool cleaners available. It is quiet, efficient and remarkably effective for its price point. Do not let the budget positioning put you off — this cleaner does a solid job on pool floors and is incredibly easy to own and maintain.

Pentair Rebel

For pool owners who want extra thorough coverage, the Pentair Rebel bridges the gap between traditional suction cleaners and modern robotic technology. It is designed to clean floors and walls and features a design that can collect larger debris than most cleaners, making it ideal for pools that accumulate leaves, twigs and larger organic matter. The Rebel is particularly well suited to in-ground pools with hard-to-reach corners and steps. It is only suitable for in-ground pools, but for those pools it delivers a noticeably more comprehensive clean.

Not Sure Which Cleaner Is Right for You?

Pop into our Station Street pool shop in Mullumbimby and we will walk you through the options based on your pool type, surface material, pool size and budget. We can also pair the right cleaner with a professional maintenance plan so your pool stays in top shape with minimal effort from you.

Tailored to Your Pool

Every pool is different — different sizes, different equipment, different usage patterns and different environments. We tailor your maintenance plan to suit your specific pool, your household or property, and the local conditions at your location. There is no one-size-fits-all approach.

Flexible Scheduling

We offer weekly, fortnightly and monthly maintenance schedules depending on your pool's needs and your budget. Pools with high usage, Airbnb turnovers or challenging water conditions may benefit from weekly visits, while pools with lower usage may be well served by fortnightly or monthly services. Our team will recommend the right frequency based on your situation.

Transparent Communication

After each visit, you will know what was done, what was found and whether anything needs attention. If we identify an equipment issue or a developing problem, we will let you know straight away so you can make an informed decision about repairs or replacements. No surprises, just clear and honest communication.
