Service includes chemicals.
Winter is the perfect time to enjoy the visual benefits of your pool - keep your pool crystal clear with our Winterisation Valet Treatment.
This treatment prepares your pool for cooler months by preventing algae and phosphates forming - the lead cause to turning pools green. It works for a three-month period and has been formulated to reduce the amount of chemicals, equipment runtime and attention you will need to give your pool over the cooler months.
Important: this treatment doesn’t replace normal care; and chlorine levels must be maintained for the treatment to remain effective during the three-months.
Our Pool Winterisation Valet Treatment is a four-step process, completed by our valet in one visit. It includes:
Step 1: debris removal and rebalancing
- scooping debris from your pool's service
- brushing your pool walls clean and vacuuming all debris from your pool floor
- backwashing your filter
- emptying and cleaning your skimmer and pump baskets
- a comprehensive pre-treatment water test analysis of your pool
- adding of valet chemicals required to balance and sanitise your pool
Step 2: adding a pre-treatment to eliminate lingering bacteria and algae
Step 3: adding Winterising Treatment chemicals
Step 4: adjusting the pump/chlorinator timer.
Please note:
- this service is not for already green pools, instead please select our Green to Blue Service. If your pool is green when our valet visits, the green service fee will be charged, and the difference is payable pre-service
- we only use the chemicals that we supply, we do not use chemicals that are already on site or provided by you. This is to ensure the quality of the source and quality of the outcome.
Timeframe: maximum 60 minutes
