End of Lease Pool Clean — Protect Your Bond

Why You Need a Professional End of Lease Pool Clean

Moving out of a rental property in Perth that has a swimming pool adds an extra layer of responsibility to your lease handover. Under most residential tenancy agreements in Western Australia, tenants are required to return the pool in the same condition it was in at the start of the lease — clean water, balanced chemicals, and equipment in working order.

Property managers in Perth take pool condition seriously during final inspections. A cloudy or green pool, stained surfaces, or equipment that is not functioning can result in deductions from your bond. In some cases, the cost charged by a property manager’s own contractor to rectify pool issues can be significantly higher than what you would pay by arranging a professional clean yourself.

What Our End of Lease Pool Clean Includes

Our bond clean service is designed to get your rental pool to inspection-ready condition. We cover every aspect that property managers typically check.

Thorough Physical Cleaning

Every surface in the pool is addressed. We brush the walls, floor, stairs, and waterline to remove any algae film, calcium deposits, or grime. The surface is skimmed clean, and the pool floor is vacuumed to remove all sediment and debris. Skimmer baskets, pump baskets, and the filter are all cleaned.

For pools with visible staining, we assess whether the stains can be removed with standard treatment or whether they require specialist stain removal. We will advise you honestly on what is achievable and what may have been pre-existing.

Complete Water Chemistry Balancing

We test your pool water using professional-grade testing equipment and adjust all key parameters to within the recommended ranges:

• pH: 7.2 to 7.6
• Free chlorine: 1 to 3 ppm
• Total alkalinity: 80 to 120 ppm
• Cyanuric acid (stabiliser): 30 to 50 ppm
• Calcium hardness: 200 to 300 ppm

Balanced water chemistry demonstrates responsible pool care and is one of the first things an experienced property manager will check — either visually by water clarity or with a simple test strip.

Equipment Inspection and Cleaning

We check that all pool equipment is operating correctly. This includes the pump, filter, chlorinator, and any automated cleaning systems. We clean the chlorinator cell if it has calcium buildup, verify the pump is running without unusual noise, and confirm the filter pressure is within normal range after a backwash or cartridge clean.

If we identify equipment issues that are clearly the result of fair wear and tear rather than tenant neglect, we will note this in our report. This can help protect you from unfair bond deductions for pre-existing equipment problems.

Written Pool Condition Report

You receive a detailed written report that documents the condition of the pool after our service. The report includes water test results, a description of the cleaning performed, the status of all equipment, and photographs. This report serves as evidence that the pool was returned in good condition and can be invaluable if there is a dispute over your bond.

Priority Scheduling for Lease Deadlines

We understand that end-of-lease timelines are non-negotiable. When you book an end-of-lease pool clean, we offer priority scheduling to ensure the work is completed before your inspection date. We recommend booking at least one week ahead, and two weeks during busy periods such as the end of December, end of January, and end of June when lease turnovers are most common in Perth.

Pricing

Our end-of-lease pool clean is priced from $200 to $400 depending on the size of the pool and its current condition. This covers the full clean, water chemistry balancing, equipment check, and written condition report.

If the pool requires additional treatment — such as green pool recovery, stain removal, or equipment repairs — we will provide a separate quote for that work. We always discuss costs with you before proceeding so there are no surprises.

Common Situations We Handle

The Pool That Was “Fine Last Week”

Perth’s heat can turn a pool from clear to green in just a few days if the chlorinator runs out of salt or the pump stops working. If your pool has gone green close to your handover date, do not panic. Our green pool recovery service can have it clear within 48 to 72 hours, and we can schedule the bond clean immediately after.

Pools in Older Rental Properties

Older pools in suburbs like Nedlands, Mount Claremont, Claremont, and Mosman Park may have pre-existing staining, worn surfaces, or ageing equipment. We document the condition carefully so that you are not held responsible for issues that pre-date your tenancy.

Pools You Have Not Used

If you have not used the pool during your tenancy, it still needs to be returned in serviceable condition. Unused pools often develop chemistry issues and surface staining from stagnant water. We can bring these pools back to acceptable condition efficiently.

Serving Tenants Across Perth

We provide end-of-lease pool cleaning services across all Perth suburbs. Whether your rental is in Scarborough, Joondalup, Subiaco, Fremantle, or any of the surrounding areas, we can get your pool inspection-ready and protect your bond. Contact us today to book your end-of-lease pool clean.
