Pool repair and pool services in Edgemead
Edgemead is a settled family suburb where many homes have had a pool for decades. We refer you to a pool contractor who covers Edgemead.
Family homes from the 1970s and 1980s
Edgemead was largely developed as a family suburb in the 1970s and 1980s, and many homes there have pools of a similar age. Those pools have usually been through at least one round of resurfacing and several pumps. What remains original is often the plumbing under the paving and the skimmer and return fittings set into the shell.
Ageing pipework and fittings are a common source of slow leaks in suburbs of this era. Because Edgemead sits close to the clay soils of the Plattekloof and Bothasig area, ground movement can add stress to old joints. A leak that starts small can grow over a season.
Pump rooms here have often been rebuilt more than once, with mixed brands of pump, filter and chlorinator. Matching parts and connections is part of the job.
Common pool jobs in Edgemead

What to tell the contractor
Tell the contractor the age of the pool if you know it, what equipment you have, and whether you have noticed water loss or settling paving. If parts of the pump room have been replaced, say which.

Frequently asked questions
My pool is about forty years old. Should I worry?
Not by itself. Many pools of that age are sound. An inspection of the plumbing, fittings and surface tells you what needs attention.
Why do parts not fit my old pump room?
Different brands use different connections and sizes. A contractor can adapt the plumbing when replacing equipment.
Do you cover Bothasig and Monte Vista too?
