Ohhhh Yuck

Pool always cloudy?

When was the last time you had a media change?

A recent filter replacement shows why you need to replace your media a number of times over the filters lifespan. Media lifespan depends on type.

Biofilm is a slimy layer formed by bacteria creating a physical barrier causing poor filtration and bad water quality. Channeling also occurs creating a path for unfiltered water to pass straight through the filter.

We have been using AFM ng (Activated Filter Media Next Generation) for some time and see the benefits first hand. It is a self-sterilizing, hydrophobic filter media made from pure recycled green and brown glass and prevents bio-fouling or bacterial growth.

Using sand as an example, if managed well, it should last 3 - 5 years at optimal filtration. AFM will last 10+ years.

Is your filter over due for an upgrade? Its always better to get these upgrades done over the cooler months. Contact us on 94973077 to organise a quote.

With the cold weather in full swing, it is just as important as ever to ensure your pool is running properly and to minimise potentially expensive repairs.

Emptying the skimmer baskets regularly will ensure full flow through the system and reduce debris load in the pool. A skimmer basket this full can lead to a broken basket, blockage in the pipe or reduce the water flow which can cause damage to your pump or stop your chlorinator from working.

Check your baskets regularly, especially after bad weather.

A recent job we finished. The power was switched off so the pool went green (there are also 2 massive gum trees right above the pool). This is over 3 visits and about 1.5hrs in total to bring this back on line. Process was to remove debris with the Riptide Pool Vac, brush the walls and floor, shock and floc, vac to waste then finish off with a final test and balance.
