// What we do

Four jobs.
Done properly.

Whether you've got a sneaky leak, a scheduled clean, a swamp that used to be a pool, or gear playing up — we've got you sorted.

01 / Diagnostics

Leak Detection

Finding the sneaky ones.

Pool slowly losing water and you can't work out why? We use proper electronic leak detection gear to track down leaks hiding in your pipes, the pool itself, or your equipment. No guessing, no jackhammering the whole backyard for nothing. We use Hydro Microphones, Pressure Testing, Ink Testing and Underwater Cameras to find exactly where the leak is.

Pool Maintenance

Weekly, fortnightly, monthly, or one-off.

  • Vacuum the floor
  • Skim out leaves, bugs & whatever else has blown in
  • Brush walls and steps properly
  • Clean the filters
  • Check all the gear's running right
  • Balance chemicals — pH, chlorine, the lot

03 / Rescue mission

Green Pool Rescue

Bringing it back from the dead.

Came back from a trip up the coast and your pool's gone full swamp? Algae's a mongrel — but it's beatable. We hit it with the right chemicals, wait for the dead algae to settle, then vacuum the lot out. Crystal clear, like nothing happened.

04 / Gear

Pumps, Filters & Gear

Supply, install, troubleshoot.

We supply and install all the proper kit — pumps, filters, chlorinators. And if something's playing up — blockages, weak flow, dodgy equipment — we'll sort it. No upselling junk you don't need.

// Green pool, four steps

From swamp to swim-ready in few days.

Algae's a mongrel — but it's beatable. Here's exactly how PoolieMate brings a green pool back.

1
Hit it with the right chemicals
Targeted dosage to kill the algae off — not a one-size-fits-all blast.
2
Water'll go cloudy
That's normal. Don't panic. It means it's working.
3
Let it settle (3–4 days)
Dead algae sinks to the bottom. Patience pays.
4
Vacuum the lot out
Back in business. Crystal clear, like nothing happened.
// The sciency bit

Don't worry — we'll keep it short.

Pool chemistry isn't witchcraft. It's four numbers playing nice together. We keep them in line so your pool stays clean between visits and you stop burning money on chlorine that doesn't work.

SI

Saturation Index

Sounds fancy, it's not. Tells you if your water's happy with itself. We aim for zero.

Target: 0.0 ± 0.3
Cl

Chlorine & pH

Chlorine kills the nasties — but only when pH sits between 7.1 and 7.8. Outside that, it's wasted.

pH window: 7.1 – 7.8
CYA

Stabiliser

Sunscreen for chlorine. Without it the Aussie sun cooks 80% of your chlorine in 2 hours flat.

Slip · Slop · Slap
TA

Alkalinity

Stops your pH bouncing all over the shop. The shock-absorber of pool chemistry.

Keeps pH steady
// SI gauge

Saturation Index, plain English

SI at 0 means the water's exactly where it wants to be. Drift too high and you get scaling — that crusty white buildup. Drift too low and the water turns corrosive and starts eating your pool. We keep it sitting right.
