With summer fast approaching and spring drawing to a close, it’s time for pool owners in North Lakes and surrounding areas like Mango Hill, Dakabin, and Kallangur to make sure their swimming pools are sparkling, safe, and ready for action 🏖️. November is the perfect window to prepare for the long, hot days ahead—before the rush hits and the Christmas chaos begins.

Whether you’re planning pool parties, backyard barbies, or just some family fun in the sun, proper preparation now means less stress and more time enjoying your oasis. At Atlantis Pool Services, we specialise in taking the guesswork out of pool care and helping locals get their pools summer-ready.

Why November is Your Golden Month 🌞  

“We always tell our customers that November is make-or-break for summer pool care,” says Kylie Rojahn, owner of Atlantis Pool Services. “Waiting until December means you’re competing for service bookings and could face costly issues that could’ve been avoided.”

The spring-to-summer transition brings warmer water, heavier rainfall, and higher bather loads—all of which place extra pressure on your pool’s systems. Poor preparation can lead to green water, clogged filters, or burnt-out pumps just when you need your pool the most.

Here’s our expert guide to ensuring your pool is in peak condition before summer hits.

✅ The Atlantis Pool Services Summer Readiness Checklist  

1. Water Testing & Balancing 🔬  

Start with a comprehensive water test to check for chlorine levels, pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness, and stabiliser. These elements keep your water safe and comfortable while protecting your pool surfaces and equipment.

“Bring in a water sample to our North Lakes shop and we’ll run a free, professional test,” says Kylie. “We’ll give you accurate results and a tailored solution.”

Poor water balance not only leads to murky water and irritation but can also reduce the lifespan of pool components.

2. Pump & Filter Inspection 🔁  

Your pump and filter work hard to keep your pool clean and circulating. A spring check-up ensures they’re running efficiently, saving you money on power and chemicals.

We inspect for:

  • Leaks and wear

  • Dirty or damaged filter media

  • Noisy or overheating pumps

“Your pool’s filtration system is like its engine,” says Kylie. “If it’s not operating at full throttle, everything else suffers.”

3. Chlorinator & Salt Cell Maintenance 🧂  

For saltwater pools, your chlorinator must be in good shape to maintain sanitiser levels. Salt cells can build up with calcium deposits and become less effective.

“We offer salt cell cleaning and replacements if needed—it’s quick, easy, and saves summer headaches,” Kylie adds.

4. Surface & Equipment Inspection 🕵️‍♂️  

Cracks, stains, algae patches, or faulty accessories like pool lights, skimmer baskets, and vacuum hoses can get worse in summer.

Our team checks:

  • Interior surfaces for damage

  • Pool cleaner function

  • Safety equipment

  • Pool lighting

Don’t forget those little details—they can become major problems when your pool is under pressure from daily use.

5. Top-Up Your Chemicals 🧪  

As summer kicks off, chemical demand surges. Stock up early to avoid product shortages and price hikes.

“We’ve seen chlorine sell out before New Year’s in the past,” Kylie warns. “November is the best time to get what you need for the season.”

We supply all the essentials:

  • Chlorine & salt

  • Stabiliser

  • Algaecides & clarifiers

  • Pool shock
