Equipment replacement, green pool recovery and pressure testing in Chatswood. A lot of the plant here went in during the 1980s and 1990s and is now due.

Andy covers two fairly different jobs in Chatswood. Around the station and Victoria Avenue there are towers and townhouse complexes where the pool is common property and the person organising the work is a building manager or a strata committee. Further out toward Beauchamp Park and the quieter streets it is detached housing, much of it interwar and post-war, with backyard pools that mostly went in during the 1980s and 1990s.

That second group is where most of the work sits at the moment. A pool fitted out thirty or forty years ago is now on plant well past its service life, and the pumps, filters, chlorinators and heaters from that era are the ones where parts have stopped being made. Andy is independent across the brands he installs, so the recommendation is driven by the pool rather than by whatever a supplier is pushing that month.

Pool services in Chatswood

Equipment installation and replacement

The most common Chatswood job. Andy is brand-independent across Astron, Zodiac, BWT, Pentair, Jandy, Waterco and Aquaheat, so you get the unit that suits your pool, your power supply and your budget rather than the one with the best margin on it.

Winterising and summerising

Worth doing on any pool that goes unused over winter. Shutting down properly in late May costs a fraction of recovering a pool that was left to itself, and starting up in early October means it is swimmable before the weather turns rather than weeks after. Chemistry, cover, equipment shutdown, then the reverse.

Green pool recovery

Nearly always a symptom of something else, usually equipment that quietly stopped keeping up. Andy finds the cause first, restores the water, then fixes what caused it so you are not back here next season. From $550, two to three days.

Pipe pressure testing

When a pool is losing water and nobody can say where, guessing gets expensive fast. Andy isolates and pressure-tests each line so the fault is located before anything is dug up or broken open. From $350.

★★★★★

“Andy has been servicing my pool for about 6 months now and has done an amazing job. He is incredibly knowledgeable and reasonable priced. He helped me troubleshoot problems and offered a variety of pricing options for a new pump with really valuable advice on what the different levels would offer me. The pool looks sparkling after he has visited. I couldn’t be more impressed with the job he does - a vast improvement on any previous pool servicers we have had.”

Pool questions from Chatswood

Does Andy service pools in apartment buildings and townhouse complexes?

Yes. Common-property pools run as a scheduled maintenance agreement with a written record of each visit, which is what a building manager, owners corporation or strata manager needs for their records. New scheduled work is on a waitlist at the moment, so the honest answer is that Andy will tell you where the queue is when you call. Equipment replacement, green pool recovery and pressure testing for a building pool are all available now. Call 0468 650 172.

My pool pump has died. What are my options?

Usually more than one, and they are worth comparing. There is often a like-for-like replacement, a variable-speed unit that costs more upfront and much less to run, and sometimes a repair if the parts are still made. Andy will lay out what each one costs and what it saves rather than quoting a single number.

Which council covers Chatswood?

Willoughby City Council. Every pool in the area must be listed on the NSW Swimming Pools Register, and a valid Certificate of Compliance is required before a property with a pool is sold or leased. Aqua Andy does not carry out safety inspections or issue certificates, so that part goes through the council or a registered private certifier.
