What a standard pool clean includes

Every standard service covers the same nine steps, so nothing gets skipped on a busy day.

Swimming pool cleaning that suits the Canberra climate

Canberra is hard on pools. Hot dry summers evaporate water and burn off chlorine, autumn drops a serious amount of leaf litter, and frosty winters mean a pool left alone in June is a green problem in September. We set the schedule around that rather than around a generic template: fortnightly through the season, monthly through the cold, and a heavier first clean if the pool has been left for a while.

Fortnightly cleans through the swimming season
Monthly winter servicing so spring is not a shock
Extra visits after storms and heavy leaf drop

Pool vacuuming, done by hand

Suction and robotic cleaners are useful, but they miss the corners, the steps and anything heavy that has settled on the floor. Manual vacuuming is part of every standard clean, which is the difference between a pool that looks clean from the kitchen window and one that is actually clean.

Manual vacuum every service
Skimmer and pump baskets emptied
Pool cleaner bag emptied and checked
Walls brushed to stop algae taking hold

One off cleans and green pool recovery

Come back from a holiday to green water, or bought a house with a pool nobody has touched since autumn? That is a one off job, quoted before we start. We test, shock and rebalance the water, clean out the filter, vacuum the debris and keep an eye on it over the following week. Most Canberra green pools are swimmable again within a few days.

Quoted up front, no surprise invoice
No obligation to go onto a regular schedule
Filter cleaned as part of the recovery

Common questions

Pool cleaning Canberra questions, answered

What is included in a standard pool clean?

Testing and balancing your chemicals, emptying the pump basket, emptying the skimmers, emptying the pool cleaner bag, skimming the surface for debris, brushing the pool walls, vacuuming the pool, a general inspection of all equipment and an email summary of the visit. That is the $90 plus chemicals package.

Do you offer one off pool cleans, or only regular services?

Both. Plenty of Canberra customers start with a one off clean after a holiday, a storm or a long winter, then move onto a regular schedule once they see the difference. There is no obligation to go regular.

How long does a pool clean take?

A standard service on an average Canberra backyard pool takes roughly 45 minutes to an hour. A first clean on a neglected pool takes longer and we will tell you before we start.

Do you vacuum the pool, or does my pool cleaner do that?

We vacuum it. Suction and robotic cleaners do a good job on light debris but they miss corners, steps and anything heavy that has settled. Manual vacuuming is part of every standard service.

Can you clean a pool that has not been touched in months?

Yes. Neglected and green pools are some of the most satisfying work we do. It is quoted separately from the standard package because it takes longer and uses more chemicals, and we will give you the figure before we start.
