Smart Pool Upgrades for a Cooler, Cleaner Summer  

February in South East Queensland is no joke. It’s coming into the last swimming season at the end of easter, but it doesn’t go out quietly. In fact, it’s the hottest and most humid time of the season. For North Lakes locals and nearby suburbs like Mango Hill, Narangba, Burpengary, and Deception Bay, staying cool is top priority. And if you’ve got a pool, you’ve already got a head start—but is your pool set up to truly beat the heat?

This month is the perfect time to invest in smart pool upgrades that keep your water clean, your energy bills down, and your swimming experience top-notch. At Atlantis Pool Services, we’re here to help make your pool the most refreshing, hassle-free escape on the block.

Why February Is the Perfect Time for a Pool Tech Tune-Up  

“We always tell our customers: February is when your pool is under the most pressure,” says Kylie Rojahn, owner of Atlantis Pool Services in North Lakes. “The high UV index, soaring temps, and heavy bather loads can throw your pool chemistry out of balance quickly.”

Smart upgrades in this peak month will help you:

  • Improve water circulation and filtration

  • Keep sanitisation consistent and efficient

  • Monitor and adjust settings with ease (even while you’re out)

  • Reduce energy costs

  • Save time and hassle

Let’s take a look at the most effective upgrades to consider right now.

1. Robotic Pool Cleaners  

If you’re still manually cleaning your pool or using an old suction cleaner, now is the time to upgrade. Robotic pool cleaners are more efficient, energy-saving, and better at deep cleaning corners, walls, and steps.

“A good robotic cleaner saves hours of manual labour each week, especially during high-use months like February,” Kylie explains. “They run independently, use less power, and filter fine debris far better than traditional systems.”

Atlantis Pool Services stocks a wide range of cordless cleaners and can match the perfect model to your pool size and surface.

2. Saltwater Chlorinators & Mineral Systems  

Traditional chlorine dosing can be inconsistent, especially with heavy swimmers and blazing heat. Saltwater chlorinators, particularly mineral-based systems, keep your pool sanitised without the harsh chlorine smell or sting.

“Our customers love the softer feel of mineral pools, especially families with young kids,” says Kylie. “It’s a gentler swim and easier to maintain.”

Atlantis Pool Services offers installation and expert advice on salt and mineral systems that work best for North Lakes conditions.

3. Variable Speed Pumps: Quiet, Powerful, and Energy-Saving  

Pool pumps are one of the highest energy consumers in a home, but a variable speed pump can reduce your energy costs by up to 80%.

With programmable speeds, these pumps work smarter—not harder.

“They’re whisper-quiet, great for early morning runs, and incredibly efficient. It’s one of the smartest upgrades you can make to your pool,” Kylie adds.

4. Pool Automation & Remote Monitoring  

Imagine managing your pool from your smartphone. With smart automation systems, it’s not just possible—it’s easy.

You can:

  • Adjust on heater unit and lighting

  • Control pumps and cleaners

  • Control water balance

  • Get alerts for maintenance needs

“Pool automation gives peace of mind, especially when you’re juggling school drop-offs, work, and weekend plans. We can install and guide you through the entire setup,” says Kylie.

Don’t Forget Water Testing & Balancing  

High humidity and long, hot days can quickly disrupt your pool water balance. Regular water testing is critical.

At Atlantis Pools, we offer:

  • Free in-store water testing

  • Expert recommendations

  • All the chemicals and balancing agents you need

“Bring in a sample and we’ll take the guesswork out of it. February is not the month to risk green pool water,” Kylie says.
