Pool servicing in Northwood

Equipment installation, green pool recovery and acid washing in Northwood. Where the plant sits below the house, access decides what fits, so Andy checks it at the quote.
Equipment installation is the job that comes up most in Northwood, and getting to the plant is usually the hard part of it. The suburb is a short peninsula running off Longueville toward Woodford Bay, one of the smallest in the Lane Cove Council area, and it is close enough to Andy's base that a callout here is a ten minute drive. That is worth knowing when something has failed on a Friday afternoon.
On the streets that drop toward the water the equipment often sits on a lower terrace, reached by steps or a narrow side path, which rules some units out on size alone and adds time to any install. Where a property is close to open water there is a second factor: salt in the air is hard on heater casings, pump housings and exposed metal fittings, so equipment on an exposed deck tends to need replacing sooner than the same unit inland. Neither applies to every house in Northwood, which is why Andy looks before quoting.

Equipment installation
Where the plant sits below the house, the size and shape of the unit matters as much as its performance. Andy measures the access and plans the pipe runs at the quote so nothing arrives that cannot be got into place. Astron, Zodiac, BWT, Pentair, Jandy, Waterco and Aquaheat.
Winterising and summerising
Shutting down in late May gets the equipment out of the weather for the five months it is doing the least good, which matters more on an exposed deck than an inland one. Chemistry dropped, cover on, plant shut down, then cleaned, balanced and started back up in early October.
Green pool recovery
Andy is minutes away, so a Northwood green pool usually gets started on quickly. The cause is identified before the water is restored, because a bloom is almost always downstream of an equipment or circulation problem. From $550, two to three days.
Acid washing
For an older surface that has stopped responding to brushing and chemistry. Drain, pressure-wash off the sludge, acid-wash, refill and rebalance. Three to four hours on site, from $1,100.
