Designerite Launches Brand New Website

The team at Designerite is pleased to announce the launch of a new website which will completely revolutionise the way in which our customers interact with us. Our online presence is now capable of matching the quality of our operation, and we’re incredibly excited about what this presence will be able to achieve for our valued clientele. 

We wanted our customers to be able to experience our products 24 hours a day, seven days a week and we've added several features to our website that allow us to do this.

Just some of the new features of our website include:

Fresh and Modern Design: As suppliers of the finest pool finishes and products in Australia, we needed a web design that reflected the style and beauty of our pool finishes. Opening our new site is quite literally like taking a dip in a pool. It’s fresh, invigorating and completely purveys the feeling our customers get when they see our products installed.

Accurate Photos: A key driver behind creating this new website was to provide our customers with actual photos of what their finished Designerite Beadcrete pool will look like. The images on our site are of the highest quality. They have not been altered or filtered at all, so the dazzling blues and inviting light-play you see from the photos on our site is exactly what you will see with your own pool.

Detailed List of FAQs: FAQs are an integral part of interacting with our customers. Clients can now browse this page to discover answers to many of the queries or concerns they might have. Plus, our FAQ page is backed by our extensive support networks which can be accessed online or via phone.

Detailed, Downloadable Application and Maintenance Guides: The provision of application and maintenance guides is another aspect of our round-the-clock customer support. As a supplier of pool finishes and products, we feel as though we must ensure these incredible products are installed and maintained correctly. We love our products, and we want you to enjoy them for as long as possible. With the help of these guides, our customers can be assured of decades of enjoyment.

An Extensive Gallery of Previous Projects and Products: We’re extremely proud of our products, and the projects we’ve completed using these products. There’s no better way to judge the quality of a product than to see it in real life, and our gallery featuring accurate, untouched and high-quality photos gives our customers this representation.

The launch of our new website is the next chapter in the storied history of our Designerite. However, this new episode won't signal a move away from all the qualities and values that have made us a leader in pool finishes and products. We’ll still source only the highest quality products and select certified and skilled tradespeople to install our products to ensure that our clients get the best possible outcome.

We look forward to hearing your feedback on the site, and we know you’ll love the increased connectivity you can now enjoy.

Pool Maintenance

Pool maintenance is easy if you know what you’re doing. The first step in pool maintenance is understanding the key objectives of pool maintenance:

  1. Maintain recommended pool water levels at all times. Levels should be in accordance with pool builder or poll maintenance professional’s advice.

  2. Ensure all pumping and filtration equipment is maintained in good order and functions in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications and operating instructions. The filter system is an important consideration of maintenance and should be washed and rinsed at regular intervals using ‘backwash’ mode as instructed by the system manufacturer.

  3. If ‘salt-chlorinator cells’ are used – check regularly to ensure proper operation in accordance with the recommendations of the system manufacturer.

  4. Regular removal of debris from the ‘skimmer box’ is important and so is regular removal of leaves or other foreign matter within the pool itself to minimise ‘organic loading’ of the pool water and undue influence of staining agents that can impact upon the aesthetic appearance of the pool interior.

  5. Ensure automatic pool cleaning appliances are functioning to manufacturer standards and to check that duty cycles are lining up with expectations laid out by manufacturer.

  6. Broom and vacuum the pool interior at least at two-week intervals in accordance with the recommended operation of the appliance manufacturer to preclude ‘build-up’ of organic matter upon the pool interior surface and bacterial growth that can affect pool water hygiene, swimmer safety and the aesthetic appearance of the pool interior.

  7. Pool chemistry levels for residential pools are subject to frequency of use and climate conditions and need to be checked and adjusted at least weekly to preserve water hygiene and swimmer comfort.

  8. Prevent the build-up of white calcium and other mineral deposits by treating pool with ‘Beautec®’, or similar product, every six months.

If you satisfy all of these objectives and can tick off every item on the list you’ll be able to enjoy a pristine pool all year round.

Commercial Pool Maintenance

The maintenance of water quality and hygiene is vital for pools in commercial spaces, such as resort pools, hotel pools and theme park water recreation facilities. Water quality needs to be checked daily and for frequent-use pools, checks should be made at two-hour intervals. Your pool is key to your income-generating activities, proper maintenance will keep your pool in service and ensure your profit isn’t affected by your pool being out of service.

Maintaining Your Pool Equipment

Your pool equipment, such as your pumps, filters and cleaners need to be maintained to ensure they last as long as possible and perform to their optimum. A failure to maintain your equipment is a failure to maintain your pool so make sure you consult manufacturer maintenance directions.

Failure to maintain your equipment in accordance with manufacturer instructions can also lead to a void in warranties, so if you’re lazy with your maintenance you’re only doing yourself a disservice.

Don’t forget to contact Designerite for any and all of your pool maintenance questions.
