When our team of pool technicians arrives at your property, we do not work off a generic checklist. Adrian built the 1 Pool Care service process around what actually breaks in Perth. Not what breaks in Sydney or Melbourne. Perth. Where the bore water calcifies everything it touches, where the Fremantle Doctor sea breeze drops afternoon temperatures and shifts evaporation rates along the coast, and where UV sits above 12 for five months of the year. That means checking every piece of equipment, testing the water properly and picking up problems before they cost you money.

Pool Filters

Your pool filters play a critical role in keeping water clarity where it should be. We service cartridge filters, sand filters and glass media filters. Adrian checks the pressure gauge, inspects the internals and assesses whether the media needs replacing or just a chemical soak. In Perth, bore water from the Gnangara Mound carries calcium and mineral loads that clog filter media faster than town water. If you are in Wanneroo, Ellenbrook or anywhere on bore, your filters are working harder than most and need attention more often. We carry replacement cartridges and media on the vehicle so we can swap them on the spot.

Pool Pumps And Salt Chlorinators

If the pool pump is not circulating properly, nothing else works. Everything downstream depends on it. We service Davey, AstralPool, Pentair, Zodiac and Hayward pumps and can diagnose issues from bearing noise and seal leaks to flow restrictions caused by undersized plumbing. Salt chlorinators are the other half of the equation. Adrian checks the cell condition, salt levels, output settings and control board. A calcified cell on bore water is one of the most common callouts we get, especially through the summer months when the unit is working at full capacity.

Pool Lights And Lighting Systems

Faulty pool lights are more common than people think, and in most cases the problem is a seal failure rather than a blown globe. We service Spa Electrics and other major brands. Adrian tests each fitting, checks the transformer and inspects the niche for water ingress. If you have older halogen pool lighting systems, we can advise on upgrading to LED which cuts power draw and lasts significantly longer. George Ribarich, a customer in Joondalup, had a pool light that kept tripping the safety switch every time it rained. Another company quoted a full niche rebuild. George was looking at thousands of dollars. Adrian found the seal had failed on one fitting and replaced it for a fraction of that quote. In his review George wrote that Adrian “was open and honest, gave clear reasons for what is required” and “provided many options that took into account my needs and budget.”

Pool Cleaners

We supply and service robotic, suction and pressure pool cleaners from brands including Maytronics, Zodiac, Pentair and AstralPool. If your cleaner is leaving patches on the floor or climbing the walls but missing the waterline, it usually comes down to a worn diaphragm, blocked throat or incorrect suction setup. Zac, one of our long term customers, described in his review how Adrian noticed his newly installed pump had not been set up correctly during a routine visit and fixed it on the spot. That is the kind of thing we pick up because we are looking at the whole system, not just the one item on the job sheet.

Every mobile pool cleaning appointment covers a full range of checks and tasks designed to keep your pool healthy and your equipment running properly year round.

Pool water testing and chemical balancing. We take a water sample and test for free chlorine, pH, alkalinity, stabiliser, salt and phosphates. If anything is out of range we adjust it on site using professional pool chemicals carried on the vehicle. Perth’s water chemistry shifts fast through the swimming season when UV is high and evaporation pulls water levels down daily.

Skimming, brushing and vacuuming. We clear floating debris, brush the walls and floor, and vacuum anything the cleaner has missed. This is not cosmetic. Algae starts in the areas your cleaner cannot reach, and if those spots are not brushed regularly the biofilm builds and you end up with green pools or cloudy water.

Equipment check. Every visit includes a visual and operational check of the pump, filter, chlorinator, cleaner and any heating or lighting equipment. We are looking for early signs of wear, leaks, unusual noise or declining performance. Catching a failing pump seal early saves you a motor burnout. Catching a dropping chlorinator output early prevents green pools.

Surface and surrounds inspection. We check for cracking, staining, loose coping and tile damage. Perth’s heat cycle expands and contracts pebblecrete and fibreglass over the seasons. Small cracks become big problems if they are left.

One off service visits are also available for specific situations. If you are coming back from a holiday and the pool has gone green, we can do a fast response recovery visit. If you are preparing a property for sale and need the pool looking its best before the photographer comes through, we handle that. If a storm has dumped debris and thrown the chemistry off, we will get it sorted.

Here is something most people learn the hard way. A one off clean gets the pool looking good. Regular maintenance is what stops the $3,000 callout six months later. The difference is consistency. When Adrian or one of the team visits your pool on a regular schedule, they are tracking the water chemistry over time, not just reacting to a single snapshot. If your alkalinity has been creeping up over three visits, that tells us something different than a one off high reading.

We offer weekly, fortnightly and monthly maintenance services depending on pool size, usage and what the water demands. Most residential pool owners in Perth sit on a fortnightly cycle through the swimming season and monthly through the winter months. Even in winter, the pool still needs attention. Leaves build up, pH drifts, and a pump that sits idle for weeks can develop seal problems when you start it again in September. Commercial pools and spas require more frequent attention and we service those on tailored schedules.

Sallie Ketteringham has been with us for over five years. In her review she said she “wouldn’t have anyone else.” Over that time Adrian has replaced her pump, her filter and her pool cover. She does not have to explain her setup every time because Adrian already knows it. That is what regular maintenance actually gives you. Not just a clean pool. A technician who remembers that your chlorinator runs hot in February, that your bore water pushes calcium above 300 ppm, and that the filter needs a soak every six months instead of twelve.
