How a Winteriser Can Save You Money
Switching off your pool over winter might seem like a cost-saving move. It isn't. Here's what to use — and why it pays off come spring.
Australians don't like letting the cold weather win — and when it comes to your pool, the smart move is to keep it ticking over rather than shutting it down. A quality winteriser product protects your water for up to 90 days, meaning less fuss, less cost, and no nasty surprises when summer rolls back around.
Turning your pool off completely during winter can cost up to three times more to get back to swimming condition than if you'd kept it maintained. A winterised pool needs just 2–3 hours of filtration per day — a fraction of your summer run time.
My pool goes green in winter — what do I do?
Green water in winter is almost always an algae problem, and the fix is the same as any other time of year: algaecide, extra filtration, and chlorination to bring it back under control. The better approach, though, is to never let it get there.
A good winteriser applied before you stop swimming regularly will keep algae suppressed for the entire off-season — no green pool, no expensive remediation, no lost weekend scrubbing walls before your first summer swim.
What products do you need for winter?
Our winteriser pack covers the three key bases: algae prevention, phosphate control, and water conditioning. Here's what each one does.
Winter Algaecide
A formula specifically designed for cooler-month conditions, winter algaecide eradicates all types of algae and protects your pool for up to 90 days. Apply it once, and it does the heavy lifting while you're not swimming.

Algae is a living plant — and like any living thing, it needs food to survive. Its food source is phosphates. Remove the phosphates and you remove the ability for algae to grow. It's that straightforward.
Phosphates enter your pool constantly — carried in by wind, dust, leaves, bird droppings, and runoff from garden fertilisers. This is especially worth applying after periods of heavy rain, when phosphate loads spike.
Shop Phosphate Remover →Pool Conditioner
The conditioner in our winteriser pack is formulated for winter use. It removes body fats, oils, and dissolved metals from the water, and clears the scum line that tends to build up around the tile line and waterline during the off-season.
A small investment in winteriser now saves a much larger one at the start of swimming season. Shop our full winteriser range and keep your pool clean, clear, and ready — whatever the weather.
