Pool Supplies

Absolutely love our I force 12 heat pump. It is sufficient and effective heating our 27,000 litre pool 6.5 by 3m. Quick to heat up to set temperature and very quiet. We have used our pool in the cooler months and have loved it! Highly recommend.

Recently installed this system. It works well, quiet and will work very well with a solar blanket Show details

Where to start? Bulk and heavy compared to other products. Filters are very fiddly to replace. The foam rollers get hyper-dried out, turning them… Read more

into flotation devices. Before the machine will sink and do its job, you need to spend quite a while first "massaging" the rollers to get them to start soaking up water. Both drive belts snapped. The cord twists around itself in normal operation *very* quickly, and is very difficult to straighten out (hint - for goodness sake, buy a cordless model of whatever brand you get). The constantly twisted cord reduces the robot's operational range and at times threatens to pull the controller into the water. The connector housing where the cord goes into the body of the controller became loose very quickly, and with all the cord twisting, it eventually severed the electric wires completely, thus rendering the machine unusable. The carrier supplied by Robotek began rusting almost immediately. The climb function can't deal with curved steps, and would often get hung up at an awkward angle. The mapping function is poor, with the machine focussing on one half of the pool and largely ignoring the other half. The device can't handle leaves from palm trees and struggled with slightly larger leaves such as those from some magnolia trees nearby. At the end of the day, any labour time the device saves you is cancelled out by the the effort of managing this device and the fact I had to finish the job properly with the traditional pool vacuum/brush. Positives: the filter bags, though painful to install, picked up fine dirt and sand well, and are machine washable.

I've maintained 2 chlorine pools, 2 salt water pools and an Enviroswim. The Enviroswim isn't zero maintenance but it has been the easiest to… Read more

maintain. I've spent insignificant amount of chemicals compared to salt and chlorine pools. Even if it were the HARDEST and most expensive to maintain, I'd still buy it, because it's fresh water. I've drunk it. I'm about to install Enviroswim in another pool.

My favourite thing about it is the reactions from friends. To them it's like magic.

Purchased in 2024. Has been returned 4 times. Still not working. Software indicates basket full. Reality is basket take-up clogged. Maytronics… Read more

maintain that becausemajor parts replaced have not had to rbe eplaced again, Maytronics will not provide a refund. They consider that NSW consumer law does not reply to them! In my opinion the S400 is rubbish. Now Matronics will not respond to my emails. AFTER SALES SERVICE (?) IS NON-EXISTENT

We purchased the very top-of-the-line Dolphin M700 robotic pool cleaner 18 months ago. The unit continually falls apart and has to go back to the… Read more

supplier for repair, now 4 times since purchase. It is now into the 3rd week of repair of the latest failure and Maytronics called us to say they will fix it but it is consumables that cause the unit to repeatedly fail. Despite having monthly professional pool visits, they also blame our pool chemistry and kept making an analogy to a car. After 20+ minutes of rambling on the phone by Maytronics, they cannot tell us what these consumables are and why we as the consumer, should be responsible for them. They repeatedly alluded to consumables in a car and that oil and fuel are consumables but refuse to explain why the bottom assembly of their pool robot continually falls off. If all 4 wheels fall off a car under warranty, it appears, according to Maytronics this is normal wear and tear not covered by warranty. After over 20 minutes we still have no idea what consumables we should be providing to the pool robot. We repeatedly asked what these consumables are and where in their literature we should provide such consumables. They refused to answer only to again refer that either a car, consumables are not covered by warranty. If you are looking at a Dolphin pool cleaner or any other by Maytronics, please BEWARE.

It's a good pool cleaner – We recently bought an Onga Bullshark, which is basically a Pool and Spa Warehouse proprietary version of the Hammerhead. We have used it in our pool… Read more

for two months and have had a great experience with it.

We previously had a Kreepy Krauly Marathon, and the Onga is cheaper, much quieter, more efficient and doesn't get tangled as easily. The Kreepy Krauly had problems with the skirt stretching and falling off, the hammer wearing out and the parts such as the swivel connection were generally not long-lasting. It was also very noisy. The adjustment for suction strength for the Onga is also easier, just a simple knob.

I like that the Onga hose is in 1-metre sections, because you can add more sections if the hose is not long enough, or replace a worn or damaged section with just a single section. With the Kreepy Krauly we had to replace the full hose, and it needed a lot of treatment initially to stop it constantly curling. The Onga hose is straight because it's not wound up into a tight circle in the box.

The only slight negative with the Onga is that the attachment to the skimmer box is a bit high in the pool level, and you need to keep the pool well and truly topped up to stop suction issues when the pump turns off.

The ideal pool heater for us – I replaced our original after many years with the latest model. Quiet, efficient, fast. No problems. Show details

I cannot do a proper review as I have had the cleaner for a couple of weeks now and after using it for 3 times it has stopped working. I have made a… Read more

warranty claim so i will see what happens. The ordering of the cleaner went well, it arrived very quickly so no complaints there.

This is my first robotic pool cleaner and I purchased it on the recommendation of someone who already had one and loved it. Not sure if it is an old… Read more

model but couldn't find a new one in stock so brought an ex demo that still came with the 2 year warranty. Have used it 4 times now and I am impressed, a great little machine. My pool doesn't get overly dirty but it can get a lot of small leaves in there, due to surrounding hedges if it is windy, which is what happened this weekend. There were small leaves all over the pool so was keen to see whether the robot would get them all and am pleased to say it did. I do have a ledge along one side of the pool and although the robot does climb up it, it is not sophisticated enough to move along in a straight line and clean the whole ledge so I just sweep this first. It does climb the walls and does the first two steps of the pool but not the top one as the water is too shallow. Was a bit concerned as the model I purchased was not designed for tiles and although most of the pool is pebblecrete, I do have a few rows of tiles at the water line but it still gets up that high and cleans them. I would definitely recommend it and it sure beats cleaning the pool manually which is what I have been doing for the last 3 years.

Purchased one of these through Pool and Spa warehouse Georges Hall recommended by the technician. He said it would suit my Pool when I first… Read more

installed it gave them a call ,told hi it will not climb up the side of the walls. He told me to take a couple of hoses pieces off. Took 2 m off then it started working properly, what a great pool cleaner best one I’ve had over 20 years life of the Pool.

Really good so far – I bought one of these 3 months ago based on the reviews and its a winner, easy to set up, easy to use and has simplified my pool maintenance… Read more

massively. 5 year warranty. This is the first chlorinator in 12 years i have enjoyed. The only thing that erks me is that you can get low salt readings if you are running your chlorinator at 30% power or less? if you turn it up to 50% you will get a more accurate reading. don't let that put you off

Save your money and look elsewhere. The Kreepy Krauly Sprinta Plus has been nothing but a disappointment. It barely moves around the pool and… Read more

constantly gets stuck, meaning I still have to do much of the cleaning myself.

The whole unit feels cheaply made, with plastic parts that seem designed to fail rather than last. For a product that's supposed to make pool maintenance easier, it has done the exact opposite.

This is one of the most disappointing pool-related purchases I've made. Poor performance, poor build quality and poor value for money. I regret buying it.

I purchased a Dolphin X30 Brand new in a Bundaberg Store, Nov 2025. Worked OK for a while until it stopped working altogether. I took it back to the… Read more

place of purchase. I have lost track how long it has been, something like 2- 3 months waiting for it to be fixed under warranty. I can handle it failing, I can handle it taking 2 weeks. But 2 months or more and still waiting, is just too long for an item less than 12 months old, not good enough. Tim McCollum Bundaberg,.

Great unit! So far so hood. Heated up the pool quickly and now to maintain the water temp it roughly keeps compressor at 55%, saving power. Easy to… Read more

set temp and timer using the display on the unit or using the phone app. The unit is also very quiet. I am happy with my purchase.

Cheap Quality Garbage – Not worth the money. After 2-3 year the stainless steel spring rusted and broke off. Real stainless steel should not rust, a so they must be using… Read more

low quality Chinese fake stainless steel.The skirt keeps coming off the head as well. I cant see myself spending money on Kreepy Krauly again. I can't find a replacement spring but the whole part of the hose it $65! Stainless steel should last for ever not a few years.

Though it took a while to have this unit fully installed due to illness, we now have a pool that can be used most of the year at a comfort level that is most enjoyable.

I’ve signed up to this website to leave a review on this disappointing product. I’ve now had it for a few years, and it only really worked well for… Read more

the first six months. It has been back to the retailer three times, and each time I’ve had to explain the issue all over again. Each time, the retailer held onto it for over a week while they got it to the “rep”, and after each visit its performance got worse. After the last visit, the cleaner barely turned at all. I’ve finally given up on it after finding out the exorbitant price of a replacement flexi hose.

Only 2.5 years old and realised I was better off buying a cheap Aldi cleaner. After the first three months I had to call the retailer to get a rep to… Read more

come and see why it keeps getting stuck in the same spot leaving the rest of the pool untouched. Fortunately we got it going, but only for a few weeks. Since then I’ve contacted the retailer who passed on my details to Waterco ( who apparently service the product ) who only want to come out and charge a fee for labour! Pretty low considering it cost over $700. You would think it would have a better warranty than that. Like I said earlier, buy a cheap brand and throw it out after a couple of years. You will do the same with this over priced piece of trash.

Average at best. It feels the same as very early vacuuming robots—it works, but not very well. There's nothing smart or sophisticated about it, aside… Read more

from the very high price tag for what this robot is. The app is just for viewing, really, as its functions are limited to setting the cleaning time and choosing whether to clean the walls or not. You can do all of that from robot panel as well. When the robot is underwater, it doesn’t connect, making it useless. I would only recommend it if you have a large pool (ideally square for the robot convenience is not the smartest robot) with lots of debris sinking to the bottom, so you need constant vacuuming. You still have to take it out for charging quite often, which isn't the most convenient thing to do—it really defeats the purpose for me, at least. Update: The robot is dead after a year. I'm currently waiting for Medimac's warranty will see what happens.

Update: The warranty process was very smooth, which was a huge relief after the frustration of dealing with a faulty product. I’ve been upgraded to a current model, and it is much better—many of the previous issues have been addressed and rectified. It’s great to see a company not only standing behind its product but also making an effort to improve it. In a nutshell, the replacement is smaller, lighter, and more powerful. The improved cleaning patterns are making a real difference. My only criticism is that the warranty does not reset; it remains tied to the original purchase date. I believe every product should last for at least a full warranty period, and if a replacement is required, the warranty should start over from the date of replacement.

FABULOUS POOL CLEANER! Would have to be the best non robotic pool cleaner on the market. #1 SHOP AROUND FOR THIS PRODUCT!! I paid $649 and some… Read more

pool shops were asking $920!!

This is a 10/10 Pool cleaner, it goes right up the walls, scrubs the pool and is as quiet as a mouse.

Super easy to get it going, just put the hoses together & pop them on the Zodiac, plug into the skimmer box and away she goes.

NOTE - We use pool socks and this machine needs the full flow of the pump so REMOVE THE SKIMMER SOCKS before using or it won't work as well as it should. Took me a while to figure out what was wrong but once I did, it went for it's life!

Excellent heat pump. The Waterco Electroheat is well built, quiet, and delivers consistent heating performance. Installation was straightforward, and… Read more

the unit is easy to operate. It maintains temperature efficiently and has exceeded expectations in both performance and energy efficiency. Highly recommend this product to anyone wanting a reliable pool heating solution.

Power Force Pool Vacuum Cleaner – I'm giving this a 5 star based on performance, value and maintenance. I have waited for 6 months to write the review to see if it holds up. So far… Read more

so good. I have read a number of bad reviews and I am surprised however I must say there is a fair bit of tinkering to do in terms of suction balance and hose management to get it to peak performance. For example if it is not doing your walls then your suction is too low, won't come off the walls too high. Sticks in a corner twist the hose until you get it flowing. All sounds obvious and trivial but it makes a difference. The system is simple, solid and the diaphragm lasts which is more than I can say for the zodiac T5 where I (at least) went through a diaphragm ever 3 - 4 months. For half the price, half the maintenance and superior performance I definitely recommend the power force over the T5 or the MX6 for that matter which I find cleans beautifully but was costing me about $75 every 6 months on parts not to mention the price tag...

Very well made unit. I have the Apex 18. It is very energy efficient, even in turbo mode. Very nice dark grey colorbond finish. Was easy to connect to wifi and blows the cold air upwards rather than towards the pool.

Don’t buy this product. Yes it runs around the pool doing its thing until a piece of any garden leaves or another plant matter smaller than 3 inches… Read more

gets tangled, the thing stops. Then out comes the screwdriver to dismantle to pull the trash out . Twice a week at least

This is my second zodiac G2. The first one was okay but eventually the collar became so worn replacing it Proved futile so I bought a new one. The… Read more

hoses are very stiff and I hate the locking mechanism I’m not sure why just yet but it seems to focus on one area and rarely will travel to the far end of the pool, It constantly flips onto its back so I have to intervene, I don’t think the swivel on the head works very well and for some reason they changed where you put the bumper thing… probably all part of the reason why this is proving to be a very bad purchase

I had a little trouble figuring out how to get the cleaner attached but I emailed the shop and they sent very good instructions and photos. All sorted now Show details

Had this cleaner for approx a month now, very impressed with it. it certainly isnt as easy to use as some other models like the dolphin 600 series (I… Read more

demoed it), however several features of the Robo Plus make it the better purchase. In my isntance I have many leaves that enter the pool such as mango, frangipani and palm tree seeds, the large inlets on the robot allow them to be sucked up with ease and without blocking like the other brands. The suction power is incredible which helps move surface debris to the skimmer of my old pool that doesnt skim well.

The bag takes effort to wash but that is fine due to its high capacity. I always run the 20 micron due to the fine sand and dust that frequents my pool.

Downsides: The control interface isnt the easiest to use, I can get it to do the clean I want but the manual control I havent figured out yet. The remote that is supplied has a very short range in my experience. After a short time the area near the foam rollers was getting scuffed from my fibreglass pool so i fitted the supplied rubber bumpers that are recommended for cobble pools. The unit is heavy especially when removing it full of water, but its fine for me. The robot is getting scuffed on the top from when the the bag needs to be removed already, but its only superficial.

Overall I would recommed this product so far. Will update this in a year or so. The waterline scrubbing is excellent and i dont have to brush it off now. I thought not having a cable swivel could be an issue but its not if you roll the cable out properly.

Just received and works good. Adaptors supplied did not work with my Haywood Pool cleaner.

40kl Peeblecrete Pool, 25in Sand Filter, Eviroswim Sanitation, Onga LTP1100 pump. Purchased my new Madimack Inverter Plus 1.1kW, plugged it in… Read more

(super simple) and the effect is immediate. No more hard Pump Starts, Noise reduced dramatically, Power Saving immediate. My Onga LTP1100 normally runs at 2900rpm using about 1kwh in the process. The Frequecy Inverter allows you to step down in 50rpm steps to reach the where the Filtration System can run normally with no detrimental effect. My step down limit where everything runs normally, including the Rebel Pool Cleaner is 2200rpm. This uses about 480wh which is half the power usage. At switch on it still winds up to 2900rpm to get the water flowing and then steps down to 2200rpm for my normal daytime running preset. What a fantastic device. These Frequency Inverters are a no brainer for everyday pool pump use. Do yourself and your budget a favour and get one.
