Summer is officially here in North Lakes and the surrounding region — from Mango Hill to Redcliffe, and across the Moreton Bay area — and that means it’s time to dive into pool season!

At Atlantis Pool Services, we’re all about helping you enjoy your backyard oasis to the fullest. Whether you’re hosting friends on the weekend, cooling off after a hot Queensland day, or making memories with family, now’s the time to make sure your pool is ready for action.

 Why Summer Demands Extra Care   

With the Queensland sun beaming down, and our pools seeing more use than ever, maintaining clear, safe, inviting water takes a little more effort than in the cooler months. In summer, heavier bather loads, higher temperatures, and weather events can all affect your pool’s health. For example:

  • Everyday use introduces oils, sunscreen and debris — which can upset your water chemistry.

  • Heat and strong sunshine make sanitiser levels drop faster, and algae can take hold more quickly.

  • Storms or heavy rain can dilute chemical balance or introduce dirt and debris into your pool.

At Atlantis Pool Services, we believe in proactive care so your pool stays inviting all season long, not letting the summer slip by with a half‑used backyard asset.

 Three Key Summer Steps to Stay Pool‑Ready   

Here are the essential steps you should be doing to maximise enjoyment and minimise fuss:

 1. Stay On Top of Cleaning & Circulation   

Daily skimming of leaves and debris, and a good brush of the walls and floor weekly, pays off. A clogged skimmer or full pump basket can reduce flow, let contamination build up, and make your pool look less inviting.

Kylie Rojahn, owner of Atlantis Pool Services, says:

“We often see pool owners in North Lakes and surrounding suburbs get out of the routine in winter, then the start of summer becomes a scramble. My tip: set aside 10 minutes after your last swim each evening to skim the surface and check the basket — it keeps your pool looking amazing with minimal stress.”

Also: Ensure your pump is running long enough for full circulation — in summer you may need to extend pump hours to combat evaporation and increased use.

 2. Master Your Water Chemistry & Sanitising   

One of the most common pain‑points: water that looks fine but feels “off” — cloudiness, skin irritation, or even algae starting to bloom. A weekly or bi‑weekly shock treatment, regular testing of pH, chlorine (or salt system) and alkalinity are key.

“When the mercury climbs and the kids are swimming all afternoon, chemical levels shift faster than you think. At Atlantis Pool Services we recommend a quick check mid‑week during summer, because that’s when things usually head off track,” Kylie said.

If you’re not confident, we offer full water testing and service plans so you don’t have to guess.

 3. Equipment & Surrounds: Don’t Forget the Supporting Cast   

Your pool’s plumbing, filter and Surrounding decking matter almost as much as the water. A blocked filter or under‑performing pump is one of the biggest contributors to messy or cloudy pools.

We also note:

  • Check the skimmer and pump baskets regularly;

  • Backwash or clean filters when needed;

  • Maintain correct water levels to keep circulation working properly.

Kylie says: “The pool is the star, but the filter, pump and your deck are the support team. At Atlantis Pool Services we always encourage clients in North Lakes, Rothwell, Kippa‑Ring—even Caboolture—to think of the environment around the pool as part of the system. Clean deck, trimmed trees, good circulation = better water and fewer emergencies.”
