Pinelands was laid out as a garden suburb and it still lives up to the name, which is charming to look at and relentless on a swimming pool. Kwik Pools services Pinelands and Thornton weekly.

Tree cover is the defining issue. Pinelands pools collect leaves constantly, and the problem is not just the skimming. Decomposing leaves release phosphates into the water, which feed algae and quietly push your chlorine demand up until you are dosing twice what you should be and wondering why.
Shade compounds it. A pool that gets a few hours of direct sun and sits damp under trees through a wet winter recovers slowly from any green patch, and it needs longer filtration and closer chemical attention than an open pool in the northern suburbs would.
The houses here are largely original stock, which means pools of a similar vintage: sound shells, tired surfaces and plumbing that has been patched more than once. Where a Pinelands pool is losing water we look at the fittings and the old lines first, because that is where it usually is.
Free on-site assessment and no call-out fee. Send us a photo and we will tell you what it needs.
Leaf load. Decomposing leaves feed phosphates into the water and burn through chlorine faster than most people dose for.
Enormously here. It is the single best thing you can do for a pool under trees.
Pinelands is served on our Southern Suburbs route alongside Rondebosch and Claremont. Weekly, fortnightly and one off visits are all available, and you get a note after each visit with what was done and where the water sat.
