Pool Equipment Installation Melbourne

New gear needs to work with what you already have. We check the pipes, flow, and space before we install anything.

What we do

Installation of pumps, filters, chlorinators, and heaters

Before we arrive

Send photos of the old gear, the pipes, and the space around it.

Common problems

What could be going on

The same problem can have a few different causes. We test before we start replacing gear.

Problem 1

New equipment reports low flow after installation

What might cause it

The existing pipework, filter, valves or pump settings may not provide the flow the new unit requires

How we check

We establish the system pressure and flow, trace the full water path and confirm the new equipment's operating requirements before altering settings or pipework

Problem 2

New pipework leaks once the system reaches operating pressure

What might cause it

A seal may be pinched, a joint may be poorly prepared, or unsupported and misaligned pipework may be loading the connection

How we check

We inspect the alignment and supports, then pressure test every new section and union under the conditions it will actually run

Problem 3

Lids, baskets or valves cannot be serviced without removing other equipment

What might cause it

The layout has insufficient service clearance or the components were installed in the wrong sequence

How we check

Before final connection, we physically check lid removal, valve operation, electrical access and the space needed to replace each serviceable part

We turn it on, test it, and show you how it works.

After the visit

What happens next

Clean swap

We fit the new unit and match it to the old pipes.

Staged plan

We fit the urgent parts now and leave room for the rest later.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the questions we hear most often.

Can you just swap it for the same model?+

Yes, if it is still made and it was the right size to begin with. We always check the sizing first.

Do you have to change the pipes?+

Usually a little bit. New gear has different connections, and we want to make sure it does not leak.

How do you choose the size?+

We look at the pool volume, the pipe size, and what the heater and cleaner need to work.

Do you organise the electrician?+

We tell you exactly what power is needed so your electrician can hook it up.

Do you take the old gear away?+

Yes. We take the rubbish and the old parts with us.
