FAQ’s

DIY where you can, trust Poolwerx where you can't. Check out Poolwerx’s range of DIY FAQs and DIY guides today.

  • If you notice reduced water flow, strange noises, leaking, or issues like flickering pool lights, your equipment may need attention. Regular maintenance can prevent minor problems from becoming major. Contact Poolwerx for professional diagnosis and repair recommendation

  • Swimming in green pool water is not recommended, as it can harbour harmful bacteria, parasites, as well as algae. To ensure a safe swimming environment, contact your local Poolwerx for immediate green pool cleaning. Our pool service technicians will test your pool pH and water quality in order to create a personalised green pool treatment plan. Don't risk your health -  trust Poolwerx to restore your pool back to its optimal condition.

  • We recommend testing your pool water weekly during peak use and after heavy rain or storms. Regular testing helps you stay on top of any changes and address issues before they escalate.

  • The ideal pH range for pool water is between 7.2 and 7.6. Water outside of this range can cause skin irritation, eye discomfort and reduce the effectiveness of chlorine. Adjusting pH to the correct range also helps prevent scaling and corrosion.

    Poolwerx provides pH balancers that bring your levels back into the ideal range. Our team can help you with the exact dosage based on your pool’s volume.

  • It's recommended to drain and clean your spa every 3 to 4 months, depending on usage. Frequent use or heavy bather loads may require more frequent cleaning. Regular maintenance ensures clean, balanced water, prevents equipment issues, and keeps your spa ready for use year-round.
