Equipment installation, green pool recovery and pressure testing in Lane Cove North. Builder-supplied plant gets chosen on price, and it shows. Andy is a few minutes down the road.

New pools do not need rescuing, they need setting up properly, and that is most of the Lane Cove North work. A lot of the calls here are about equipment specified to hit a builder's budget rather than to suit the pool, and the green pool recoveries that follow when it falls behind. The Mowbray Road and Epping Road corridor has changed more than anywhere else in the Lane Cove Council area over the last twenty years, with much of the post-war stock replaced by townhouses and duplexes, so a good share of the pools here are newer and smaller than the ones a kilometre south.

Small pools are not less work. A smaller body of water swings out of balance faster, so a fault shows up in days rather than weeks, and undersized plant is usually what is behind it. It is also flatter and more open up this end than down toward the bays, so plant access is generally straightforward and leaf load is lower on most streets. Andy is a few minutes away either way.

★★★★★

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 Lane Cove North

Is the pool equipment that came with my new townhouse any good?
Sometimes, and sometimes it was chosen because it was the cheapest unit that met the specification. Andy will look at what is actually installed and tell you whether it suits the pool or whether it is costing you in running cost and service life, without pushing a replacement you do not need.
Do small townhouse pools need less maintenance?
The visits are usually quicker, but they are not less frequent. A smaller body of water swings out of balance faster, so a fault shows up in days rather than weeks. In practice a small pool often needs seeing just as regularly as a full-size one.
Can Andy service a pool that is shared between a few townhouses?
Yes. Common-property and shared pools run as a scheduled maintenance agreement with a written record of each visit, which is what an owners corporation or building manager needs for their files. New scheduled work is waitlisted at the moment. One-off jobs are not, so if the complex needs a pump replaced, a pool recovered or a leak found, that can happen now. Call 0468 650 172.
