If it's hardwired, yes. In WA, all electrical work must be done by a licensed electrical worker, and that includes hardwiring pumps, heat pumps and chlorinator power supplies. If your old pump simply plugs into an existing weatherproof outlet, a like-for-like plug-in swap doesn't need one, but we still check the outlet, RCD protection and location against the AS/NZS 3000 pool-zone rules while we're there. Our electrical work is done by licensed electricians you can verify on the WA Building and Energy public licence register.

A like-for-like pump or chlorinator swap is usually done within a couple of hours. A heat pump typically takes half a day plus the electrician's connection. A full plant refit (pump, filter, chlorinator, automation) generally runs one to two days. Commercial plant rooms are scoped and programmed individually. You'll get a timeframe with your quote, not after.

That's exactly what the free site assessment answers. We check your pipe sizes, pad space, power supply and existing equipment before quoting, and flag anything that needs adapting, like unions, valves or a bigger cable run, as a line item up front. No surprises on install day.

Yes, and it's in writing. AstralPool, Zodiac and Davey all condition their warranties on the product being installed in accordance with their instructions, and gas heaters must be installed by a licensed gas fitter. We install to manufacturer spec, record the install date and help you register the warranty, so a claim is never argued on a technicality.

Usually, yes. We'll first check it's correctly sized for your pool, because a properly installed undersized pump is still the wrong pump. If it's a good fit, we install and commission it to the same standard as gear we supply. When we both supply and install, you get one point of accountability for the equipment, the workmanship and the warranty.

For most Perth pools, yes. Running slower for longer, a 5-star variable-speed pump uses around 55% less energy than a 1-star single-speed unit according to energy.gov.au. On a pump running most of the day through summer, that usually repays the price difference well within the pump's life. Every new pump sold in Australia now carries a GEMS energy rating label, so the comparison is printed right on the box.

It depends on the equipment and what your site needs, so we quote from a free assessment rather than guessing. Every quote is itemised (equipment, labour, licensed trades, any extras) in AUD including GST. Supply-and-install packages are usually the best value because the equipment and workmanship come from one accountable team.

Yes, from single-pump gym pools to multi-body aquatic plant. Commercial work is designed around the WA Health Code of Practice for Aquatic Facilities: turnover rates for each pool category, fail-safe automatic dosing, serviceable plant layout, trade waste permits for backwash, and the sampling and documentation needed for sign-off.
