Pool Maintenance
Constantia Kloof

Weekly through summer (October to April), fortnightly through autumn, monthly through winter. Constantia Kloof summers run hot with regular afternoon thunderstorms that knock chlorine flat. Automated pools mask the drift until the salt cell or sanitiser drum runs out, then the pool turns inside a week. Weekly visits keep chemistry stable and confirm the automation is doing what it should. We can tailor the schedule to your pool size, surface type, and how often the family swims.

No. The shop is on Ontdekkers Road in Horison, about 12 minutes north of Constantia Kloof. Maintenance pricing is a flat per-visit rate, no fuel surcharge bolted on. Other services build a Western suburbs premium into their West Rand routes. We do not, because Constantia Kloof slots into the same Tuesday and Thursday vans that serve Horison and Florida.

Yes, and most of the newer Constantia Kloof homes have fibreglass shells. Fibreglass surfaces are sensitive to high calcium hardness, aggressive acid dosing, and stiff-bristle brushes. We use soft brush heads, dose chemistry to stay inside the manufacturer window for the surface, and never acid wash a fibreglass pool. The Trollip team has been maintaining fibreglass pools across the West Rand for over two decades.

Yes. We service Pentair IntelliFlo variable speed pumps, Kreepy Krauly Sandman controllers, saltwater chlorinator cells, automated dosers, and integrated timer systems common in Constantia Kloof homes. Most spares are on the shelf at the Horison shop, so a failed cell or seized actuator gets fixed on the next maintenance visit, not three weeks from now.

Test the water, balance chlorine and pH, check calcium hardness on fibreglass surfaces, brush the walls and waterline, vacuum the floor, empty the weir and pump baskets, backwash the filter if needed, and run an equipment and automation check. All routine chemicals are included. You get a short report after each visit showing what was done, what was added, and any equipment items worth watching.

You can, but most Constantia Kloof owners we speak to prefer scheduled maintenance over DIY chemistry. The maths is simple: an hour of weekend pool work, times 52 weekends, against a fixed monthly service fee. Most of our Constantia Kloof clients are professionals who would rather pay the fee. If you do want to DIY, drop a 500ml sample at the Horison shop and we test it for free and tell you exactly what to add.

Same-day in most cases. Send a WhatsApp photo to 073 894 8248 with your address, we will quote and book within the hour. Standard residential green pool recovery in Constantia Kloof runs R1,500 to R3,000 depending on pool size and severity. We bring all chemicals, shock the pool, manage filtration, and visit daily until the water is clear. Most Constantia Kloof pools are swimmable again inside 72 hours.

Yes. Several Constantia Kloof estates and security complexes already run on our maintenance contracts. Estate work is typically a combined contract with consolidated billing and one dedicated technician across the visits. Send us the trustee or managing agent details on WhatsApp and we will quote a multi-pool monthly rate that beats individual owners booking separately.

Kreepy Krauly, Pentair, Baracuda, Quality, HTH, Africhem, Cemcrete, Baileys Adhesives, and our own Ridd's Pool Accessories range. We are authorised dealers for the major brands, which means warranty work on a Pentair IntelliFlo or a Kreepy Krauly Sandman is done in-house. Spares for most common pumps, filters, automated controllers, and saltwater cells sold in the West Rand over the last twenty years sit on the shelf at the Horison shop.

WhatsApp 073 894 8248 with your address, pool size, and surface type (fibreglass, gunite, marbelite), or phone the Horison shop on 011 763 1130 between 08:00 and 17:00 on weekdays. Saturday mornings 09:00 to 13:00. We confirm a route slot the same working day. First visit is usually within a week, and Constantia Kloof addresses slot into the Tuesday and Thursday rounds.
