Welcome to the Macca's blog

Welcome — good to have you here.

I'm Macca, and for 25 years I've been looking after pools and homes across Perth's northern suburbs. In that time I've serviced well over a thousand pools, and the biggest lesson is that most pool headaches come down to small things — caught early, or missed.

This blog is where I'll write that stuff down: the advice I'd normally only give you standing next to your pool. What's worth doing yourself, what's worth a phone call, and how to stop a small problem turning into an expensive repair.

No sales fluff — just practical, Perth-specific tips from someone who knows what our climate, our water and our long summers actually do to a pool.

What you'll find here

Pool tips — water balance, cleaning, and getting your chemistry right without overthinking it.

Maintenance — pumps, filters, heaters, and the small jobs around the house that stop little problems becoming big ones.

Seasonal guides — what to check before summer, what to do after a storm, and how to look after things over winter.

If something here saves you a call-out, good. And if it tells you when you genuinely need a hand, even better — that's the honest version of this trade, and the one I'll always give you.

Got a question you'd like covered? Give me a call on 0492 313 347. Otherwise, bookmark the page — there's plenty more on the way.
