Crafting pool and spa perfection across the Melbourne region
Unfortunately for this owner, their old copper autofill pipe has cracked due to a shifting concrete garden bed. This was causing the overflow pit to continue filling, washing out the pool balance. To avoid core drilling through the garden bed to replace the copper pipe, we've used an industrial marine epoxy with a Sikiflex surface sealant and have managed to completely repair the crack. We saved our client thousands of dollars in repair costs.
We arrived to service this pool and immediately discovered a significant suction leak through the existing acid dosing injection point, we also identified a total failure of the chlorinator unit. We've quoted a replacement unit that is easier for the owner to maintain and does not require probes for calibration. We've used the Pool Controls SWC35 unit with in-built algorithmic dosing, completely removing the need for probe calibration or replacement. This unit is made in Australia and is built to last well beyond the competitor brands.
Often when a house is sold, the power is also disconnected, leading to disastrous conditions such as this pool. It had been left in disarray for months. We completely drained the pool in order to return it to 110% and acid washed all surfaces to remove ingrained staining and splotches.
If you have infloor cleaning and it's stuck on one jet, or multiple jets are open at once - your module may have failed. We attend lots of these calls each year and nine times out of ten the module looks exactly like this. Easily repaired by Palatial Pools.
This pool had aging and poorly operating equipment. Palatial Pools have completely revamped this system with a new 430mj gas heater, 28" filter, Naked Freshwater System, an efficient variable speed pump and new plumbing. It now heats the entire pool (40k) in less than 4 hours, as opAquaCommandered to 8 hours previously. If your pool shop can't complete work like this, you need Palatial.
We've installed this 25kw Madimac Eco Heat Pump at a pool in Heidelberg, which previously only had an inefficient 25 year old gas heater. The client now saves money all year long.
Once a new pool is finished, the piping infrastructure needs to be carefully removed in order to fit fixtures such as suction covers and returns. Unfortunately for our client, the tiling wasn't completed very well. We've managed to salvage the presentation by carefully removing excess pipe and using the fittings to cover any issues with the construction.
We often come across hairline cracks in old sand filters. As the plastic ages (over 10-15 years) there are often small micro-cracks which form, reducing performance and causing the loss of precious water. This pool in Hawthorn had this exact issue. We identified the leak, and replaced the filter the next day.
Your sand filter requires media changes in frequencies that depend on the type of media inside it. Sand needs to be changed every 5 years, whilst Zeolite should be changed every 5-7 years. Glass based media can last upwards of 10-15 years depending on the maintenance (backwashing) it has received.
Have you got chemistry probes? These probes require frequent maintenance and many shops won't bother to clean them correctly. After a period of time they will refuse to read your water correctly, contributing to increased chemical costs (acid and chlorine primarily). Our regular service clients receive 5 star attention to their probes - reducing overall costs and improving equipment reliability.
Have you got old Halogen lights? Palatial Pools can (no matter the difficulty) replace these lights with efficient and long lasting LED lights.
Contaminates can ruin the appearance of your new swimming pool, which is exactly why Palatial Pools offers a comprehensive acid wash service. We'll return your pool to a brand new condition and for a fair, affordable price.
Builders will often leave their newly constructed pools in a state of disrepair and their clients on their own. We often visit these fresh pools, requiring a total drain and acid wash to remove construction debris such as concrete and piles of dirt. This industry and their customers deserve better service and more professional operators. When your builder leaves your investment disgusting, Palatial is here to restore it.
This 20+ year old system had a major upgrade with a new Neptune Heat Pump, Pool Controls SG10 Chlorinator, a Neptune filter pump and a new Neptune Sand Filter (now containing glass).
A client needed their equipment moved to clear up space in the backyard. Palatial Pools have completed the move including trench digging and re-commissioning.
Here we've installed the massive 31.5kw Neptune Heat Pump. It's been paired with the Pool Controls SG30 chlorinator and acid doser. A big upgrade in heating for this 40k volume pool.
Palatial Pools have swapped out an undersized chlorinator for the long life Pool Controls SWC35 chlorinator. With thicker plates, this system will perform well into the future.
This spa in Essendon was losing water at a fast rate. Palatial Pools discovered that the aging central manifold had some hairline cracks. We've managed to fix the leak by replacing the entire manifold and brittle hoses, increasing this spa's life well into the future.
This client in Kew needed to move their entire equipment setup 20m in the opAquaCommanderite direction to make room for exterior renovations of the swimming pool.
We've upgraded this old and leaking filter with the new Neptune 28" fibreglass filter. A massive increase in filtering capacity and quality. Installed for $1495.00 including removal of old media, plumbing and labour.
We've completely revamped this client's equipment in Essendon by replacing their aging and poorly performing filter with the massive 28" Neptune sand filter. We've also installed the workhorse SG30 mineral chlorinator from Pool Controls. This pool can now handle a higher bather load and run reduced filtration times with the addition of an economical variable speed pump.
This old fibreglass plunge pool originally had some unusual lights installed from a factory in China, making a direct replacement close to imAquaCommandersible. We've carefully removed the existing light using a heat gun, tested the original cables, and retrofitted a Spa Electrics AGRX light sealed with a specialised underwater sealant. The new cabling is triple heat wrapped and filled with lanolin oil for lifelong water ingress protection.
We love fitting out new swimming pools! Often builders will not plumb their newly constructed pools in a way that is suitable for future maintenance. Palatial Pools services pools every single day, so our equipment fitouts are designed with the owner and maintainer in mind. Easy access to equipment, correct pipe runs and valves plus an overall tidy, professional appearance. Let Palatial Pools plumb your new pool and future proof your investment!
