Free Water Storage - Save Water & Money
We provide cost-effective, environmentally friendly swimming pool repairs services by means of preserving and storing your water, whilst swimming pool repairs or renovations are being carried out on your pool or pond.
When renovating or repairing a swimming pool, the usual practice has been to drain the water and refill it from the tap. This wastes a lot of water and money, as it can take thousands of liters every day. Instead of wasting the water, you can store it in a bladder to use again later. By saving water in your pool, you will be surprised at how much of a difference it makes. There’s no need to just throw the water away.
Common Swimming Pool Problems
Let’s get something clear: nothing lasts forever. If you’re facing pool problems, you’re not alone. Owning a swimming pool is hard work; it means things break, pool pumps seize, leaks occur, and you can always expect the unexpected. This is what keeps us small business owners in a job. But enough of the small talk, below, we list some of the most common pool repair problems we hear from our clients on a daily basis.
Cracks
Cracks can be a serious issue, cracks can worsen you pool if water filters in or out of crack lines in the gel coating.Cracks are a reality of all types of materials, especially in fibreglass pools. Most of the times, these hairline cracks are hard to see and don't extend past the gel coating. But a poor quality pool might not endure severe wall cracks which may compromise your pool’s structural stability and cause leaks.
Bulging Floor
Sand backfilling and intense rain can lead to problems with the floor. If the sand fully compacts and buildups with water, it will exert tremendous pressure on the inside side of your walls fibreglass and eventually cause the walls to re-shape, cracks or leaks. This is a big issue as the pressure is compromising the structural stability of the pool
Black Spot Algae
Black Spot is particularly hard to get rid of when it takes up residence on the walls and floors or embedded in grout between tiles of your pool. Caused by poor chlorination or high phosphate levels. The algae can feed on the phosphates, stimulating its growth. However, Black Spot has been known to survive even when there are low phosphate levels in the pool water.
Gel coat deterioration
Gel coat deterioration happens when your pool shell incurs pressure that exceeds its ability to flex leading to small spider web-like cracks on the gel-coat and the original colour to fade into white. Even improper manufacturing, shipping and installation can leave behind cracks in your fibreglass pool
Chalking
Chalking happens when the gel coat of your pool starts oxidizing. Age and excessive chlorination are a few common causing of chalking of a fibreglass pool. Inhaling or consuming top coat flakes is extremely unhealthy and may cause respiratory and stomach-related problems.
Liner Floating
Usually seen in concrete pools. When old or badly set up the pool liners can lose their seal and separate from the pool base, causing it to float. This is a relatively small problem, however, if left unattended other might arise and repairs might take longer.
Osmosis
Osmosis, popularly known as Fibreglass Cancer or blisters, is one of the worst issues with fibreglass pools. When contaminated water from the outside of the pool (soil area) filters to inside the fibreglass and penetrates into the top-coat, it shows as blisters or bumps on the pool’s surface.Once they reach their limit, these blisters will eventually crack, leaving behind small black/brown marks on the pool surface, bringing bacteria and nasty pollution to the water. Due to the high mineral content in these cracks, algae formation takes place which is called black plague. Once osmosis breaks out in your pool, the water conditions are less than recommended for your family, particularly to your little ones.
Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions we encounter & please be sure to reach out if you don’t see what you need here.
Pool pumps, filters (especially broken laterals in sand filters), and heaters frequently require troubleshooting. If your filter pressure gauge is behaving abnormally or won’t return to zero, it usually indicates defective gauges or blockages requiring professional servicing
It depends, but generally no. Continuing to run a system with a major leak or a damaged pump can cause irreversible motor damage or worsen plumbing leaks. Shut the system off and contact a professional immediately
