"One customer's pool hadn't been tested in six years. It looked perfect. The test showed no chlorine, very low pH and salt through the roof. Not water anyone should swim in."

Clear water isn't always safe water.
A pool can sparkle and still have no chlorine, very low pH and far too much salt. So every service starts on the WaterLink Spin Disk, a digital lab test, before anything goes in.
The WaterLink Spin Disk reads your water in minutes.
Free chlorine
The sanitiser that is actually working. Heatwaves and heavy swimming burn through it fast.
pH
Low pH eats surfaces and stings eyes. High pH makes chlorine lazy. Everything else depends on it.
Alkalinity
The buffer that holds pH steady, so it doesn't swing every time it rains or you top up.
Calcium hardness
Too low and water takes it from your surfaces. Too high and scale builds on tiles and cells.
Stabiliser
Shields chlorine from our sun. A little helps; too much locks the chlorine up.
Salt
Kept where your chlorinator wants it. Adding salt for low chlorine is the most common mistake.

Long heatwaves
Not one hot day but a week of them. More swimming, more chlorine used, longer filter runs and equipment running hot.
Mallee dust storms
Fine red dust in the water and the filter, and mustard algae that looks just like it.
Orchard and vineyard spray
Overspray on the edge of town can tip pool chemistry. Regular tests catch it early.
Green to clear, without draining.
A light green pool is often clear overnight. A thick one that sat over winter can take five days. Either way it is a process, and every stage matters.
- First visit
Assess
Water, equipment and how bad the algae is, to find the cause: low chlorine, phosphates or a filtration fault.
- Same day
Shock
A commercial strength sanitiser dose calculated to your pool's volume.
- Same day
Brush
Floor, walls and steps brushed hard to break the algae loose.
- Daily until clear
Clear
Flocculant or clarifier where needed, and the filter backwashed and cleaned.
- Final visit
Vacuum and rebalance
Dead algae vacuumed to waste, chemistry rebalanced and a follow up check booked.
Sixteen years of local pool experience
Meet Aaron"After eight years building, plumbing and renovating pools with Cooke's Pools and Spas, I started Mildura Pool Service to give locals a service built on honesty and education. I don't believe in hiding trade secrets."
Questions Aaron hears every week
Straight answers. If yours isn't here, just ask.
How often should my pool be serviced?
Every two to four weeks for most pools. In summer, or for a busy family pool, weekly or fortnightly keeps it steady.
Why does my pool keep going green?
Usually low chlorine or a filter that isn't keeping up. Fixing the cause matters as much as clearing the water.
Do I really need to run my pump that long?
In summer, eight hours or more a day. Over winter you can drop back to around four.
How often should I add salt?
Only after a professional water test, to keep the level your chlorinator needs.
Do you service NSW?
Yes, very often. Gol Gol, Buronga and Wentworth are regular routes with no cross-border surcharge.
What if I'm outside your area?
Aaron is happy to travel further, and any travel charge is agreed upfront and kept reasonable.
