Most Asked

"What happens if my pool turns green the night before guests arrive?"

It happens more than you'd think — especially after a Cape Town southeaster drops dust and debris, or when the pump timer slips during load-shedding. Algae can bloom in under 48 hours in warm summer water.

Airbnb hosts in Camps Bay face the worst of it: a green pool at check-in means a 1-star review, a refund request, and a platform flag. We've cleared pools in as little as 6 hours for hosts with same-day turnovers.

Service Standards

"How often do you actually test the chemicals?"

Every visit. Without exception. The digital pool passport means you never have to take our word for it — every number is logged, dated, and yours to keep.

Every service visit includes a full 7-point chemical test: pH, free chlorine, combined chlorine, total alkalinity, calcium hardness, cyanuric acid, and TDS. For maintenance contracts, this happens weekly. Results are logged in your digital pool passport and available on request.

Surface skimming, brush walls and floor, vacuum debris, empty baskets (pump and skimmer), backwash filter if required, chemical balance adjustment, and a written log entry. Visits take 45–90 minutes depending on pool size.

Yes - and winter is when neglect does the most damage. Cold water slows algae but doesn't stop it. Rain carries organic matter and drops pH fast. We maintain weekly schedules year-round, adjusting chemical doses for seasonal water temperature.

Every client receives access to a digital pool log - a running record of every test result, chemical addition, and service note. It's useful for body corporate compliance audits and useful evidence if a health complaint is ever raised.

Legal RiskRead This

"Am I actually liable if someone gets sick in my pool?"

Yes. Under South African common law, the owner of a property owes a duty of care to anyone lawfully using it. A pool with incorrect chemical levels — whether too low (bacteria) or too high (chemical burns) — is a foreseeable hazard.

The City of Cape Town's Environmental Health directorate has the authority to issue prohibition notices for non-compliant recreational water. Body corporates in Sea Point received 14 such notices in 2024 alone.

The cost of inaction

A single guest illness claim can exceed R200,000 in legal costs, even if you win. A monthly maintenance contract costs less than a single consultation with a liability lawyer.

How Chlorine Protects You

⚖️

City of Cape Town Health Ordinance

Risk: A pool in a rental property that causes illness can trigger a formal investigation under the Environmental Health Act. Fines start at R5,000.

Chlorine: Our compliance report documents every chemical reading and service date — your paper trail if anything is ever questioned.

🏢

Body Corporate Bylaws

Risk: Sectional title schemes must maintain shared facilities to SANS 10134 standard. Non-compliance means compliance notices — and eventually a levy surcharge.

Chlorine: We manage the full compliance calendar for Sea Point and Green Point complexes. Your trustees receive a monthly report automatically.

🏠

Short-Term Rental Liability

Risk: Airbnb and Lekkeslaap hosts are personally liable for guest injuries linked to pool conditions. Platform insurance doesn't cover negligent maintenance.

Chlorine: Our guest-ready certification is a timestamped record that you maintained the pool correctly before every check-in.

Client Results

Three types of clients. One standard.

Constantia homeowners, Camps Bay hosts, Sea Point body corporates. All served to the same City of Cape Town health standard.

"We hadn't touched the pump settings in two years. Chlorine came out, found a cracked impeller, sorted the chemistry, and left us a three-page report. For the first time in years I actually know what's in my water."

"I run three listings. Before Chlorine I was paying a random guy cash and hoping for the best. Now I have a compliance PDF I can attach to every booking confirmation. My review scores went from 4.6 to 4.9."

"We received a compliance notice in March 2024. Chlorine took over the following week. We haven't had a single letter since. The monthly report goes straight to our managing agent — zero admin on our side."
