Pool Maintenance
in Florida

Weekly through summer (October to April), fortnightly through autumn, monthly through winter. Florida is a leafier suburb than most of Roodepoort, mature jacarandas and old garden trees drop a constant load into the pool, especially through autumn. Weekly visits keep chemistry stable and stop algae before it starts. Monthly winter visits prevent the slow drift that costs you a green pool recovery in spring. We can tailor the schedule to your pool size, tree cover, and how often the family swims.

No. Florida is about 15 minutes east of the shop in Horison, well within our standard maintenance route. Pricing is a flat per-visit rate whether you live near the Florida lake or on the Horison-side edge of the suburb. Other West Rand services build a callout premium into their rates. We do not, because Florida sits right on the run we drive most days anyway.

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

Yes. Walk into the shop in Horison, 15 minutes west of Florida, with a 500ml water sample. We test it on the spot for free, and we tell you exactly what to add, how much, and in what order. We stock HTH, Africhem, Quality, and our own Ridd's Pool Accessories range. Most Florida DIY pool owners spend less than R400 a month on chemicals using our advice. We do not push the maintenance plan if you do not want it.

Same-day in most cases. Send a WhatsApp photo to 073 894 8248 with your Florida address, we will quote and book within the hour. Standard residential green pool recovery in Florida 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 Florida pools are swimmable again inside 72 hours.

Yes. We service body corporates and small estates around Florida and the broader Roodepoort area, including the older complexes along the suburb's main feeder roads. 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 is done in-house. Spares for most common pumps, filters, and automatic cleaners sold in Florida and the rest of the West Rand over the last twenty years sit on the shelf at the Horison shop.

WhatsApp 073 894 8248 with your Florida address and pool size, or phone the shop in Horison 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, often sooner for Florida addresses since the van runs through the suburb on its way back from other West Rand jobs anyway.
