Pool Cleaners Varsity Lakes

Most pools on the Gold Coast use a saltwater chlorinator to sanitise the pool. By converting salt to chlorine, this chlorinator is able to keep your pool healthy and clean. Now, while we may not be gardeners, personal experience suggests that high levels of chlorine and concentrated amounts of salt will damage your lawn. Avoiding spilling salt onto your lawn and keeping the pool's chlorine levels in check is the easiest way to protect your lawn from this damage.

Yes. It's safe to have pool lights in your pool, because these lights are low voltage. The power is passed through a transformer which reduces the voltage to a safe level (typically 12 volt). We can help you find modern pool lights that utilise LEDs to allow for a variety of features, such as remote control or colour-changing functionality.

You should not rely on a pool cover to keep you or anyone else safe around the pool. Requirements surrounding fencing and pool safety are made extremely clear in Australia's swimming pool safety laws. A pool cover will not stop accidents from occurring. Here at Active Pool Supplies, our Bundall and Runaway Bay stores can help you answer any questions you may have about pool covers or pool safety in the Gold Coast, and you're welcome to either visit us in-store or reach out to us at (07) 5537 3341.

In order for your pool to be healthy and balanced, appropriate levels of sanitiser must be present. You'll commonly want to use chlorine to achieve this, thanks to its ability to kill undesirable elements within your water, including algae, bacteria, and small organisms. There are several different ways of adding chlorine to the pool. Manually chlorinating your pool on a regular basis was a common option in the past. Today, anyone with a Varsity Lakes pool is able to cut out the maintenance time with a filtration system fitted with a saltwater chlorinator. These systems create a soluble hypochlorous gas using electrolysis and salts, thus killing algae and bacteria and sanitising the pool water. You'll need to keep your pool water well balanced to ensure the chlorine is able to work effectively. Your pool water will also need to be well-filtered, and your filter will need to be cleaned of the dead algae and bacteria that it captures. Good water flow throughout the pool is helpful, as is periodic brushing/cleaning of the walls and floor of the pool to remove dirt, dust and other debris.

Owning a pool can be hard work, requiring constant maintenance and upkeep. Though you may want to try to speed through your maintenance commitments for your pool wherever you can, you might not be able to rush the process of balancing your pool's chemicals. Thankfully, Active Pool Supplies can help you understand the best practices for maintaining the chemical balance of your pools. Get in touch with us on (07) 5537 3341 about all pool care in Varsity Lakes.

It's best if you avoid changing the chemical balance of your pool by large amount in single passes. You can instead use small amounts of chemicals to make small changes to your pools chemical balance. After these changes have been made, test the water once you've left it to rest for a few hours with the filter running. The chemical balance of your pool can be perfected by making multiple small changes and testing the water after each one, which you might not be able to do if you use large amounts of chemical at once. By adding large amounts of chemicals to your pool at once, it's possible that you'll make significant changes that will be difficult to correct. Rather than making a single, large change to your pool's chemical balance, it's important that you make multiple smaller changes instead.
