Pool Care and Services in Te Arai

Te Arai is a stretch of dune country and coastal forest on the east coast north of Mangawhai, with a small number of high value properties set among pine, dunes and open beach. Conditions here are more severe than anywhere else we service. Sparkling Pools looks after pools at Te Arai as part of a scheduled Matakana Coast and northern route, with visits planned rather than arranged individually.

Services include:

Scheduled servicing for coastal properties
Salt and sand related equipment care
Off season care and reopening
Tank water testing and balancing
Pump, filter and chlorinator repairs
Resurfacing and interior renovation
Care between owner visits

The Harshest Conditions We Service

Te Arai is the most demanding coastal environment we work in, and it is not close. Properties sit in dune country with a direct line to the open Pacific and no meaningful shelter. Salt laden air is constant rather than occasional. Sand moves with every wind. Ultraviolet exposure on an open dune site is far higher than it is behind trees in a suburb. Every one of those shortens the life of something.

Sand is the practical enemy. It gets into skimmers, past worn baskets, through pump seals and into filter beds. Once a sand load is established in a filter it reduces flow, which reduces sanitiser distribution, which lets the water go off while every individual component tests fine. Filter maintenance intervals that would be sensible in Auckland are far too long here.

The second reality is occupancy. Most of these properties are not lived in full time, and an unattended pool in this environment deteriorates faster than an unattended pool anywhere else. Salt corrosion continues whether anybody is there or not. Sand keeps arriving. Water keeps evaporating in the wind and concentrating whatever is left behind.

That is why we run this coast on a schedule rather than responding to calls. A property that is checked regularly stays in good order. A property that is only looked at when the owner arrives is always in worse condition than they expect.

What we commonly see at Te Arai:

  • Aggressive salt corrosion on rails, fixings, light housings and equipment
  • Wind blown sand loading filters and reaching pump seals
  • High UV weathering interiors and burning off sanitiser quickly
  • Rapid deterioration at properties left unattended between visits
  • Equipment failing well short of its expected life in coastal conditions

Full pool and spa renovation in St Mary's Bay, Auckland, including Quartzon Galaxy interior resurfacing, new tiles and copings, lighting, heat pump installation, and filtration relocation.
In November 2011, my partner and I purchased a property with a swimming pool and spa. Having never previously owned a property with pool facilities, we relied on Grant, Julia and the rest of the team at Sparkling Pools to bring us up to speed with what was required to keep the pool in order. Combined with this, some pool equipment components had been neglected by previous owners; Grant made time to come and carry out a complimentary inspection of the pool, from a holistic perspective, and to give us detailed feedback on what improvements (heating, filtration equipment, covers etc) we could make, over time, bearing our budget in mind. The pool and spa are now looked after on a regular basis by Sparkling Pools on a specific customised maintenance plan. Denis (our dedicated valet man) comes on time, on the same week-day each time, and he does a great job maintaining the pool. We love the team from Sparkling Pools and we love the service we get from them. The pool and spa always look and feel fantastic, and looking after them is one job we just never have to worry about!

A full interior renovation of a large, elegant older pool on a beautiful Kohimarama property, including new Quartzon plaster, waterline tiles, copings, and LED lighting upgrades.
Our older pool was looking incredibly worn and really needed a complete refresh to match the character of our heritage property here in New Zealand. The team completely transformed the space. The new Santorini blue plaster and updated waterline tiles breathed completely new life into the area without losing its original elegance. The upgrade to modern LED lighting means the pool looks absolutely stunning in the evenings, creating a perfect atmosphere for entertaining. The entire process was incredibly professional, and the final result perfectly complements our home.

This project comprised all the classic elements of a comprehensive pool renovation; interior resurfacing, including some engineering adjustments; renovation of tile-work; full equipment upgrades and installations; and subsequent ongoing pool maintenance contract.
Last winter, Sparkling Pools undertook the renovation of our swimming pool. Sparkling Pools did a terrific job and we were delighted with the results. SPL’s performance throughout the project was very professional. Senior management constantly checked the work at different stages and they maintained excellent communication with us throughout. We are happy to commend Sparkling Pools to other Auckland pool-owners who might be considering pool interior renovations or equipment upgrades, particularly noting their reliability, their professionalism and the obvious pride they take in their work and their products. Subsequent to the pool renovations, SPL has continued to look after our pool on a regular basis and we are very happy to have them do so. With SPL looking after our pool, it is now one aspect of property care I never have to worry about.
