It’s that time of year again — the sound of sausages sizzling on the BBQ, the hum of cicadas in the background, and kids laughing as they splash into the pool. Summer in North Lakes and the surrounding suburbs means pool parties are back on the calendar — and if you’re planning on hosting friends, family or neighbours this festive season, now’s the time to make sure your pool is ready to impress.

Whether you live in Mango Hill, Rothwell, Kippa-Ring, Narangba, or out toward Burpengary or Redcliffe, a sparkling, well-equipped pool can become the centrepiece of your summer gatherings. And at Atlantis Pool Services, we’ve got all the products, services and local know-how to help you get your backyard celebration-ready.

“We always see a big rush in December with people wanting to get their pools looking perfect before the guests arrive,” said Kylie Rojahn, owner of Atlantis Pool Services in North Lakes. “A little preparation now means you can relax and enjoy your party instead of worrying about cloudy water or broken equipment.”

Here’s your go-to guide to hosting an unforgettable pool party — and how we can help.

 🧼 Step One: Crystal-Clear Water That Wows   

Your guests won’t be reaching for their swimmers if your pool water looks dull or cloudy. Before the invitations go out, make sure your water is clean, balanced, and inviting. If you haven’t been regularly testing your water, now is the time.

Atlantis Pool Services offers free water testing in-store, and our team will recommend exactly what your pool needs — whether it’s a quick chlorine top-up, a full shock treatment, or stabiliser adjustment.

“We encourage our customers to come in with a water sample at least a week before their event,” Kylie said. “That gives us time to make any corrections and ensure the pool is safe and sparkling for everyone.”

For peace of mind, consider booking a professional pool service a few days before your party. Our technicians will inspect your system, clean filters, balance your water, and make sure everything is running smoothly — leaving you free to focus on the food, the playlist and the guest list.

 🤖 Get Clean Without Lifting a Finger   

The last thing you want to be doing on the morning of your party is dragging out the manual vacuum. A robotic pool cleaner can do all the heavy lifting for you — and fast.

“A lot of our clients invest in a robotic cleaner right before Christmas,” Kylie said. “It keeps the pool party-ready throughout the season, and it’s one of the best ways to maintain a clean pool with minimal effort.”

Atlantis Pool Services stocks high-performance robotic cleaners that are ideal for Moreton Bay’s leafy backyards. Some even come with smartphone connectivity so you can clean the pool while prepping snacks inside.

 🌡️ Make It Comfortable: Pool Heating & Lighting   

Even in Queensland’s balmy summer, pool temperatures can dip in the early evening — and if your party stretches into the night, you want guests to stay comfortable. Solar pool heating is a great solution, letting you warm your pool efficiently and affordably.

“We’ve had a lot of locals tell us that heating extended their party past sunset,” Kylie said. “The water stays warm, and guests stay in the pool longer — which makes the event even more memorable.”

To keep the vibe going after dark, Atlantis Pool Services also offers LED pool lighting. Add colour, ambience, and that Instagram-worthy glow with energy-efficient lighting options that can be tailored to your setup.

 🪑 Don’t Forget the Poolside Setup   

A successful pool party is about more than just the swim — it’s the whole experience. Comfortable seating, pool-safe accessories, shade, and maybe even a floating drinks tray can take your event to the next level.

Atlantis Pool Services carries a range of poolside accessories, including:

  • Inflatable loungers and pool toys for the kids

  • Stylish outdoor storage boxes for towels and goggles

  • Shade umbrellas and floating coolers

  • Maintenance gear for quick touch-ups before guests arrive

“Little extras like floating lights, drink holders and fun pool games can transform a get-together into something really special,” Kylie said.

 🧪 Post-Party Pool Recovery   

Once the last guest has gone home and the BBQ’s cooled off, your pool will need a little TLC. Sunscreen, body oils, hair products, and higher bather load all affect your pool’s chemical balance.

Kylie recommends testing your water within 24–48 hours after a party to avoid issues like cloudy water or algae growth.

“We often see pools go green after a big party — not because people did anything wrong, but because the chemical balance was thrown off,” she explained. “It’s an easy fix if you act quickly, and we can guide you through the process.”

Atlantis Pool Services offers shock treatments, balancing kits, and expert support to help get your pool back to peak condition — fast.

 🎄 Planning for the Holidays? We’ve Got You Covered   

December and January are some of the busiest months of the year for pool servicing in North Lakes. If you’ve got guests coming over for Christmas, Boxing Day, or a New Year’s Eve bash, make sure to book your pool service early.

“We get fully booked every year in the lead-up to Christmas,” Kylie said. “Booking early ensures your pool is in top shape before the holidays really kick off.”

We recommend:

  • Booking a pre-party service a few days before your event

  • Scheduling a follow-up check if you’re entertaining multiple times over the break

  • Stocking up on chemicals, test kits and spare filters in advance

Our shop is fully stocked with everything you need to stay ahead of the rush.
