Water Testing, Chemicals and Pool Servicing For Northern Rivers Properties
A slight haze on Monday can morph into pea-soup green by Friday in the sticky Northern Rivers climate. Skip the guess-and-hope routine and swing past our Mullumbimby Hire & Sales shed with a 500 ml sample.
In ten minutes, our coin-disk machine prints your results, we hand you the exact Evo-pure dose, and you’re back home before the pump’s next cycle. While you’re here, you can pick up a spare filter cartridge or lock in a Saturday service slot with our on-call techs.
- Accurate water analysis with our free coin-disk testing
- Quality Evo-pure & Lo-Chlor chemicals stocked in-store
- Genuine advice from experienced local pool technicians
That Post-Downpour Green Tinge?
Constant battles with algae and cloudy water in our humid climate can turn your backyard oasis into a money pit. Don’t waste another weekend troubleshooting chlorine levels.
Guests Arriving To A Dull Pool?
For Airbnb hosts and property managers, a poorly maintained pool leads to bad reviews and lost bookings. A clean pool is more than a luxury; it’s your reputation.
TEST - TREAT - SWIM - REPEAT
Your Fast-Track to a Perfectly Balanced Pool
Guessing with colour strips can push pH and alkalinity further off-track, and overdosing chlorine can chew through a $1,000 salt cell. Bring your sample to us and walk away with a printed action plan: chemicals, quantities, and a timeline that makes sense even if you’re new to pool care.
And if the test flags a sluggish pump or cracked fittings, our professional pool maintenance crew can book a call-out while you grab the replacement parts shelf for baskets, o-rings and cartridges, all in the same visit.
What you can expect:
- Lab-grade print-out – pH, TA, calcium, stabiliser, chlorine, phosphates & salt all measured to a single ppm.
- Exact grams or millilitres of Evo-pure / Lo-Chlor treatment to dose – gentle on gear and skin.
- Easy-to-follow action plan with date prompts – perfect if a friend is pool-sitting.
- Add a mobile service visit right there at the counter to sort out any issues that have been flagged.

My pool just went swamp-green. What’s the fastest rescue plan?
Bring a 500 ml sample and a quick phone photo of the water. Our coin-disk analyser prints exact dosages followed by an overnight pump run and a vac-to-waste the next morning. Need hands-on help? Our holiday service can dose, brush, and backwash while you enjoy the weekend.
How often should I test my pool, and do I need a professional every time?
Keeping your pool water balanced is about more than just looks; it’s about health. When chlorine and pH levels are off, it can lead to nasty skin and ear infections. In the Northern Rivers, with our humid summers and sudden downpours, these levels can get thrown out of whack fast. Swing by our Mullum shop for a precise, printed report with easy-to-follow instructions! If weekly testing isn’t for you, book our maintenance plan and let us juggle the chemistry.
Do I need different chemicals for a salt pool?
You’ll still balance pH, stabiliser, and calcium, but chlorine comes from your cell rather than a drum. Keep salt at 2500 ppm–4000ppm (we test it for free), and clean the cell with mild acid every three months. If your chlorinator is undersized or struggling, the team in pool supplies and equipment can up-spec the cell or fit a variable-speed pump to boost flow and slash power bills.
