Text a pool service question HERE!
Mondays Down Under | Talking Pools Podcast
🔊 Hosts: Peter, Lee, and Shane
Welcome to the first Mondays Down Under of 2025! This week, Pete needs a therapy session—and you’re all invited. Brace yourself for a whirlwind of horror stories about bad pool designs, poor construction, and downright frustrating equipment installations.
This Episode’s Topics:
- 🏊 Infinity Edge Fiasco: A green pool recovery gone wrong—because someone thought a 250L trough was enough to handle a 25,000L pool. Backwashing? Forget about it.
- 🛠️ No Room to Move: How stepping stones, glass walls, and impossible access points make servicing pools a nightmare. Bonus: Cutting down vacuum heads just to fit!
- 🏗️ Equipment Location Disasters: When the equipment pad is placed in the worst possible spot—like, say, behind a six-foot timber screen or buried in a basement.
- 🌳 Heat Pump Headaches: A top-venting heat pump… completely covered by trees. Leaves and debris galore!
- 🚗 Luxury Living, Poor Planning: Another case of a multi-million dollar property with a tiny, inconvenient trough and an impossible driveway.
- 💦 Filter Size Madness: A 10,000L plunge pool with a 400-square-foot quad cartridge filter—because why not? Spoiler: The service price had to go up.
- 🎮 Overcomplicated Automation: When pool control systems start responding to garage door openers and wireless doorbells, you know there’s trouble.
- 🎨 Not Black Algae?! A pool covered in black stains—but not from algae. Pete investigates the mess and unravels the mystery.
- 🧪 Stain Removal Science: Alum sulfate, oxalic acid, and the never-ending battle to find the best stain remover.
