Pump Maintenance in Leongatha

Leongatha is the main town of South Gippsland, about 135 km south-east of Melbourne. It falls under South Gippsland Shire Council, postcode 3953. South Gippsland’s rolling hills get more rain than most of Victoria, which dilutes pool water and washes soil and leaves into it.

Debris such as rain-washed soil and leaves, along with the summer months, keeps pumps in Leongatha working hard. A regular service keeps flow up, power bills down and stops small seal or bearing wear turning into a burnt-out motor.

Under Victorian rules, any pool or spa that can hold more than 30 cm of water must be registered with South Gippsland Shire Council, with a barrier compliance certificate lodged every four years. We service Leongatha regularly from our base in Sale, so give us a call to book in.

Pool Pump Maintenance Questions from Leongatha Pool Owners

How often should a pool pump be serviced?
Once a year for most pools, ideally before the swimming season, with basket checks every week or two in between.

How long should my pump run each day?
It depends on pool size, pump type and season. We set run times and speeds so the water turns over properly without wasting power.

Is a variable-speed pump worth it?
For most pools, yes. Running slower for longer moves the same water using much less power. We can advise if your setup suits one.
