Winter is the perfect time to upgrade old equipment while the pool is not in use. There are a number of reasons to upgrade your old equipment, from better water quality & power-saving alternatives to reduced maintenance and peace of mind.

So what should you be looking for when upgrading your equipment? We've listed a few of the most common upgrades for your pool below and have provided links to the products we suggest and supply to help you with your research.

POOL PUMPS

Upgrading your old pool pump to a Variable Speed pump will not only save you money on your power bills, but its reduced flow rate also takes the pressure off the pool plumbing increasing the life of your other equipment. You'll also get peace of mind with quality construction and warranty support.

POOL FILTERS

Upgrading to a media filter will require much less maintenance than the other filter types. These filters only require backwashing to clean and take at the very most just five minutes with the turn of a valve. It is usually only done every two to three months in Winter and once a month in Summer so you'll save lots of time on maintenance.

FILTER MEDIA

Glass filter media such as AFM is non-porous, self-sterilising, and can trap 30% more bacteria and organic material than a traditional Sand Filter, giving Bacteria nowhere to grow within the filter. Backwashing will be required less often and when you do it will be more efficient, using less water.

ROBOTIC POOL CLEANERS

No more clicking noise from your suction cleaner interrupting a relaxing time by the pool. A robotic cleaner is easy-to-use, runs independently from your pool system.

It runs silently and intelligently, adapting to your pool. Simply plug it into power, drop it into your pool & turn it on.

One will cover the entire pool and filter the water as it goes to leave your pool clean and clear, much faster than other cleaners.

MINERAL SWIM SYSTEM

Using 100% natural minerals to produce low levels of chlorine combined with an Ozone water purification system that almost instantly neutralises bacteria, algae, and other organic material.

This system provides the safest, clearest, and healthiest, low chlorine swimming water available. The minerals soothe and hydrate the skin, relax muscles and clear the water, while Ozone provides one of the most effective sanitising agents available.

POOL COVERS & ROLLERS

Pool covers are the best way to reduce dirt and debris getting into the pool, minimising your cleaning time.

They will save you hundreds of dollars in excess water bills by preventing evaporation.

They're also great at retaining heat to extend the swimming season.
