Services
Pool Cleaning
Our comprehensive pool cleaning service ensures hygienic swimming conditions through regular maintenance. Technicians perform chemical balancing, debris removal, and equipment checks to prevent health risks from contaminated water. We offer weekly, fortnightly, or monthly schedules tailored to residential and commercial needs, including strata properties and schools.
Equipment Install
We provide professional installation of pool equipment including heaters, chlorinators, and automation systems. Our certified technicians ensure correct setup of salt systems, filtration units, and energy-efficient pumps while advising on optimal configurations for energy savings and system longevity.
Acid Wash
This rejuvenation service removes stubborn stains from pool surfaces using controlled acid washing techniques. Our process involves draining, scrubbing, and pressure cleaning to restore concrete pools, followed by chemical rebalancing to ensure safe swimming conditions post-treatment.
Pool Painting
Our pool painting service transforms aged concrete pools with durable, waterproof coatings. The process includes surface preparation, sanding, and application of specialist pool paint to extend the lifespan of residential and commercial pools while enhancing aesthetic appeal.
Chlorinators
We install and service saltwater chlorination systems that provide continuous sanitisation. Our Vapure chlorinators use mineral and salt technology to produce gentle chlorine, reducing skin irritation while maintaining water purity through automated dosing systems.

Great quality work and honesty. Attentive to details. I would recommend A-1 to anyone. We went under contract in Feb 2021 for a pool knowing of Covid delays. The A-1 team was straight forward about the supply chain mayhem and long material lead-time. They sought feedback during the install and worked hard to keep the project moving.

This company is falling off a cliff and will not stop. I read all these positive reviews from years back and now I agree with all the negative ones currently. My personal experience is I call, and I call, and no one gets back to me and when they do, they seem not interested in my business.. I hinted at building an in ground pool next year and finally I got a rude call back from some young woman I would never use a company like this. It seems like a management change, wait honestly probably an entire staff change is needed here, or just close the doors already. Im sorry but I would

When I initially moved to seymour I used them, Josh was a nice guy, yet they were over priced. I moved on to Reliable in Naugatuck. But in a pinch i would only expect Josh to treat me right as a professional. Anyways I spoke to Alexandra - aka team leader (oh please) literally its another world here. Still way over priced, no clue whats what, lack of knowledge when it came to my heater etc honestly I had no choice but to go to Sharper image because reliable does not service my heater to fix my issue, the owner should take note she does not deserve a job just being nice or what

Been using them for YEARS and never had problems until this year. Owner is unresponsive, does not return phone calls (after several messages left, including going down there in person). No one could fix my water issues with the pool, never had problems until this year. Was going to purchase new liner but giving that business elsewhere (a place that actually cares and has great customer service and was able to fix my water problems). I'm especially glad not to be giving them my business after seeing the other reviews on liner installation. While A1 is convenient, it's worth my 20 min trek to a

Tested water, was given great advice on how to balance my pool water. Was very knowledgeable and professional. Although they were busy she never made me feel rushed or that my concerns where not important. I will definitely return and recommend.

Not a good experience, spoke to Haydee, she failed to call me back when Ive called a few times trying to figure out why my Pool is bad as it is, alex to quote told me to go down and test water I did with Haydee and she gave vague instructions (lack of experience) I called again and Alex (lack of experience) told me to bring it back again which didnt work... I went to Leisure time and they nailed it.... I cannot believe with all the comments about one guy they use these two people with no experience or knowledge.... something needs to change. Bad management all around. I hope the owner of
