Pool servicing in Woolwich

Equipment installation, acid washing and pressure testing in Woolwich. Salt air is hard on anything metal on a plant deck, so siting the equipment matters as much as choosing it.
Equipment installation in Woolwich comes with a condition attached, and it is worth planning around rather than discovering later. The suburb sits at the very end of the Hunters Hill peninsula, past Woolwich Dock and Clarkes Point, with water on three sides, which makes it the most exposed part of the coverage area. Where the plant sits, and how well it is kept out of direct spray, does as much for its life as which unit you buy.
Salt in the air attacks anything metal on a plant deck. Heater casings, pump housings, salt cells, screws, brackets and handrails all wear faster out here than they do a couple of kilometres inland, and a unit that would give ten years elsewhere can give noticeably less on an exposed deck. That is not a reason to buy the most expensive equipment on the shelf. It is a reason to site the plant sensibly, keep it out of direct spray where the layout allows, and factor a shorter replacement cycle into the budget. Properties tucked behind the house or well back from the water see much less of it.

Equipment installation and replacement
Where the plant sits matters as much as what it is when there is salt in the air. Andy is independent across Astron, Zodiac, BWT, Pentair, Jandy, Waterco and Aquaheat, and specifies for the exposure rather than the brochure. Heaters, pumps, filters, chlorinators and controllers.
Winterising and summerising
Shutting down for winter does more out here than it does inland, because it takes the plant out of five months of salt-laden weather while nobody is swimming anyway. Chemistry dropped, cover on, equipment shut down in late May, then cleaned, balanced and started back up in early October.
Acid washing
For the older concrete and pebblecrete surfaces that are common on this end of the peninsula. Drain, pressure-wash, acid-wash, refill and rebalance, three to four hours on site. From $1,100 and far cheaper than resurfacing.
Pipe pressure testing
Original pipework on an older pool is where slow water loss hides. Andy isolates and pressure-tests each line so the fault is found before anything gets dug up. From $350.
