What “set and forget” is actually worth
Owning a pool in Johannesburg is one of life’s better problems. Keeping it clear, hygienic and running efficiently is not a small job, though — it takes consistent effort, careful chemical handling and a bit of technical know-how.
For working professionals, property managers and landlords, pool care usually turns into a frustrating weekend chore: scraping algae, hauling chemical buckets, guessing at water balance, clearing blocked pump baskets. Worse, neglected water chemistry quietly does real damage — it creates health risks, ruins marbelite plaster and burns out pump motors that cost thousands to replace. Scheduled professional care protects both your family and the value of your property.
What a DJ Tree Pools service visit includes
We do not do quick surface skims. Every scheduled visit follows the same technical checklist, carried out by experienced technicians.
Our service checklist
- Water quality analysis: pH, chlorine, total alkalinity and calcium hardness tested properly, not guessed.
- Chemical balancing: Precise dosing of chlorine, acid, algicide or salt to keep the water sanitised.
- Skimming and brushing: Surface leaves removed, walls and steps brushed to stop algae getting a foothold.
- Bottom vacuuming: Floor dirt and debris vacuumed straight out of the system.
- Filter backwashing: Flow reversed to purge trapped dirt and rinse the filter sand.
- Equipment inspection: Pump and weir baskets emptied, seals checked, sand filter inspected.
Suburbs we service
Reliability is the single most important thing in pool maintenance — a technician who does not arrive means a green pool within days. So we run tightly scheduled, suburb-specific routes. Our technicians arrive on the same day each week or month, in uniform, with the testing kit and equipment the job needs.

- Douglasdale
- Linden

Choose the frequency that fits your pool
Every pool has its own ecosystem. A pool ringed by deciduous trees in Bryanston needs weekly attention through autumn, while a small covered splash pool in a Rosebank apartment block may only need a monthly chemical check. The options:
- Weekly premium service: for busy family pools, heavily wooded properties, or anyone who wants the pool pristine all year.
- Bi-weekly care plan: our most popular option — consistent technical care at a sensible monthly cost.
- Monthly check-up: suited to smaller splash pools, covered pools, or heated pools in the off-season.
- Once-off green-to-blue recovery: came back from holiday to a dark green pool? High-dose shock treatment and flocculation usually has it sparkling within 48 hours.
Prevention really is cheaper than cure. Regular chemical balancing protects your pump and chlorinator from calcium build-up, adds years to your marbelite plaster, and heads off the black algae outbreaks that end in a full acid wash or a drained pool.
