    I can't recommend Richie highly enough! He’s been my go-to for a few years now, both for maintenance and repairs. I have an unconventional pool setup for hydrotherapy and he’s consistently been able to fix problems others have not been able to, with his incredible technical know-how and problem solving skills. When I had an urgent issue with my pool pump, Richie still made time in his busy schedule to fit me in on the same day (in the middle of summer!), has been generous with his time and efficient in solving any problem no matter how complex. He’s always friendly, professional, and happy to help, no matter what the issue is!

    Richie provided great advice and service. I'm really happy with my new energy efficient and much quieter pool pump (and so are my neighbours).

    I had been procrastinating about fixing our pool pump issue for a long time. I’d already received quotes from others, but they all involved ripping up the deck or running expensive diagnostics through the pipes. The high cost and effort made me put off the repair, so we struggled through several summers with an expensive and inefficient pool. Then one day, I found a flyer in my mailbox not from a pool cleaner, but from a technician. It caught my interest, so I decided to reach out for one last attempt at fixing the problem. Richie got back to me the same day and was at my door the next morning. He assessed the situation strategically and suggested starting with simple, low-cost options before considering more complicated solutions. He was 95% sure the issue was near the skimmer box, and if not, we’d work backwards to find the cause. I appreciated his logical approach, like a pilot with a checklist. Richie was right the problem was exactly where he suspected. A poorly done connection from over 15 years ago was drawing air into the system. With a quick reconnection and some new pipes, our pool system is now running super efficiently and our operating costs are down by over 60%. The pool is crystal clear. I highly recommend Richard for any pool work or seasonal preparation. Thanks Richard we’re so happy to hear our pool pump running quietly and efficiently!

    Richie has master-level problem solving skills. He fixed our seemingly baffling spa leak, which others had failed at, and it was in a very challenging spot. Richie was not phased and knew exactly how to approach it. We are thoroughly impressed by his workmanship and extensive skill set when it comes to not only pools and spas, yet sound practical know-how. His diligence, communication, work ethics and fair pricing are all remarkable. Thanks again Richie!

Frequently asked questions

How much do pool technicians typically charge?
Costs vary widely depending on the type of job, its complexity and whether parts or full equipment replacements are required. Call-out fees, diagnostic time and after‑hours attendance often increase the total. This page shows live pricing to help you compare quotes for your specific job.
Do pool technicians charge call-out fees?
Many pool technicians charge a call-out fee to attend and carry out an initial diagnosis, which is usually separate from hourly labour and parts. After‑hours or emergency visits often attract higher rates. Check the live pricing shown on the page and confirm any call-out or minimum fees when getting quotes.
When do pool technicians need a licence?
Registration or a contractor licence is required in some states, with NSW, QLD and SA commonly requiring a current state contractor licence that can be verified on the public register. Whether a licence is needed often depends on the scope of work, so it's wise to ask for licence details and proof of insurance for larger installations or contractor-level work. Industry memberships and qualifications such as SPASA membership and Certificate III or IV in Swimming Pool and Spa Service are common indicators of experience.

Yes. The Pool Technician has completed ABN verification on SureQuote.
