Equipment installation, pipe pressure testing, green pool recovery and seasonal changeovers in Huntleys Cove. It sits on the Parramatta River next to Huntleys Point, and like its neighbour it is small enough that Andy fits work here into a Gladesville or Hunters Hill run rather than making a separate trip of it.

Much of Huntleys Cove went up as one residential development rather than street by street, so a fair share of the pools here are common property attached to a complex, with plant rooms and pipework designed as part of the building. That is a different job to a backyard pool. Pipe runs are longer, access is through a gate or a basement rather than a side path, and a slow leak can sit under paving or planting where nobody notices it until the water bill arrives.

Equipment installation and replacement

In a shared plant room the constraint is usually space and ventilation rather than budget, so what will physically fit and run safely comes before what performs best on paper. Andy measures the space before ordering anything. Astron, Zodiac, BWT, Pentair, Jandy, Waterco and Aquaheat.

Pipe pressure testing

Long runs under paving and garden beds are where leaks hide, and on common property the cost of digging in the wrong place lands on everyone. Each line is isolated and tested so the repair goes where the problem actually is. From $350.

Green pool recovery

A complex pool that has been left over a long weekend can turn quickly. Andy restores the water, then checks run times, filtration and dosing so it holds rather than going straight back. From $550, two to three days for most pools.

Winterising and summerising

For a complex pool nobody uses between May and October, a proper shutdown saves the chemicals, the power and the spring algae bloom that follows a half-maintained winter. Chemistry down, cover on, equipment off, then reversed for the season.

★★★★★

“Andrew has been servicing our pool for about seven months and we are extremely impressed with the quality of work. Andrew is reliable, professional, and always takes the time to explain any issues or recommendations. On his first visit he even fixed our broken filter pump free of charge, which was not straightforward and involved him having to locate a hard-to-find spare part across the other side of Sydney. The pool has consistently been kept in excellent condition, with great attention to detail and proactive maintenance. I would highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy pool professional.”

Pool questions from Huntleys Cove

How do you find a leak without lifting the paving?

By pressure testing each line in turn. Every line is capped and brought up to pressure, and the one that will not hold is the one that has the problem. That turns a guess into a known location before anyone starts digging. From $350, and most leaks are isolated within an hour.

Does Andy work with building managers and owners corporations?

Yes, and a written record of each visit comes as standard, which is what the committee needs for its files. New scheduled agreements are waitlisted right now. Project work is not, so a plant replacement, a recovery or a pressure test can be quoted and booked with normal turnaround.

Is the pool water bill really worth chasing?

Usually, yes. A leak large enough to notice on the level is large enough to notice on the bill, and it keeps costing until it is fixed. A pressure test is the cheapest way to find out whether there is one at all. Call 0468 650 172.
