The South Peninsula is spread out, weather beaten and full of pools that stand unused for months at a time. Kwik Pools covers Fish Hoek, Sun Valley, Capri, Noordhoek, Kommetjie and Simon’s Town on a planned route, which is how we keep it affordable this far down.
Between the Noordhoek flats and the Kommetjie side, wind driven sand is a permanent feature. It loads filters, wears pump seals and settles into the floor of a pool faster than most owners expect. Pools here need their filtration hours set for the conditions rather than the textbook, and the filter needs watching.
The bigger issue is pools that sit. A lot of properties down here are holiday homes or second homes, and a pool left unattended through a wet Peninsula winter comes back in spring as a full recovery job rather than a clean. That is avoidable with even a fortnightly winter visit, and it is far cheaper than the alternative. If yours has already turned, start with green pool recovery.
Borehole and wellpoint water is common through Noordhoek and Sun Valley, and it is not the same as municipal water. Iron and manganese cause staining that people mistake for algae, and hardness varies enormously from one property to the next. If you are filling from a borehole, get the water properly tested before you dose anything, which is what water testing and balancing is for.
The other local factor is the water table. In the low lying parts it sits high through winter, and that matters the moment anyone suggests draining a pool. An empty shell can float. We check before we drain, not after.
Free on-site assessment and no call-out fee. Send us a photo and we will tell you what it needs.
Usually iron from borehole or wellpoint water rather than algae. It is a different problem with a different fix, and algaecide will not touch it.
Sandy ground takes a leak away silently. It is the standard Noordhoek and Sun Valley situation, and it needs a proper pressure test.
A fortnightly visit. It costs a fraction of the recovery job that follows doing nothing until spring.
