Before guests or an event
A focused presentation visit when the pool needs cleaning, testing and balancing before it will be used or seen.
Integra Casual Pool Service
One-off pool service. Professional help when you need it.
Book a single professional visit for cleaning, digital water testing and routine maintenance without joining a regular service schedule. The technician works through the most important agreed priorities within the onsite allowance, then records what was completed and what may need attention next.

When Casual Service fits
Professional one-off help for a pool that needs a proper catch-up.
Casual Service is designed for pools that remain suitable for routine cleaning and water care. It is not the low-cost route into recovery work, major neglect or equipment diagnosis.
Seasonal start-up
A practical catch-up after lower winter use or before warmer weather increases swimmer demand and chemical consumption.
Normal storm debris
Leaves, surface debris and normal weather-related cleanup where the water remains serviceable and no recovery process is required.
After travel or missed maintenance
A professional reset after the pool has received less routine attention but is still circulating and suitable for normal service work.
Before taking maintenance back over
A one-off clean and water-care visit before the owner resumes routine maintenance between professional attendances.
Occasional professional support
Help with cleaning, filter care and water balance when a regular weekly, fortnightly or monthly schedule is not required.
Time is not divided into artificial task quotas. The work completed reflects the pool, equipment, access and what matters most during that attendance.
What happens onsite
01
02
03
04
A one-off visit with a practical order of work.
Casual Service combines routine pool cleaning, digital water analysis and maintenance tasks in one attendance. The technician assesses the starting condition before deciding how best to use the available time.
Inspect the pool and equipment
Check water condition, circulation, access, visible equipment and whether the pool remains suitable for Casual Service.
Test and assess the water
Complete professional digital analysis and interpret the readings against pool type, sanitiser system and current conditions.
Clean, maintain and balance
Work through the agreed cleaning priorities, baskets, routine filter or salt-cell care and calculated chemical treatment within the allowance.
Record the work and next steps
Provide a digital service report with readings, completed work, observations and recommendations where further attention is required.
Important: $149 covers up to 60 minutes onsite. Heavy debris, restricted access, unusually dirty filters, additional labour or work that cannot be completed safely within the visit may require approval for more time or a follow-up attendance.
Scope and service boundaries
What the 60-minute Casual Service can cover.
The items below sit within one total visit allowance. They are not unlimited individual tasks, and the technician may need to prioritise according to condition, access and the work requested.
Normally included
The standard foundation of a suitable one-off service visit.
- 13-point digital water testing
- Calculated chemical balancing and dosing
- Surface debris removal
- Skimmer and pump-basket cleaning
- Pool vacuuming within the onsite allowance
- Visible circulation and equipment observations
- Digital service report and recommendations
Routine maintenance tasks
Completed where the pool, equipment and remaining allowance make the work practical.
- Sand-filter backwashing where required
- Cartridge-filter cleaning where required
- Salt-cell inspection and cleaning where required
- Automatic cleaner check and basic attention
- Additional debris removal and focused catch-up cleaning
- Minor operating adjustments appropriate to the visit
Not treated as Casual Service
These conditions need assessment, recovery work or a dedicated equipment pathway.
- Green water or visible algae
- Poor turbidity or inadequate floor visibility
- Floodwater, severe storm contamination or unsafe water
- Major neglected-pool cleanup or multi-visit restoration
- Equipment fault diagnosis, repairs or replacement parts
- Structural, electrical or compliance work
Condition check first
Casual Service is designed for routine one-off care—not multi-stage recovery work.
A one-off maintenance allowance cannot replace the treatment, filtration and return attendance required when algae or poor water clarity is already present.
- The circulation system should be capable of operating.
- The water should remain clear enough to assess the pool safely.
- There should be no visible algae bloom or green water.
- Known equipment faults should be disclosed before scheduling.

Before the technician arrives
Prepare the property so the service time can be used on the pool.
Access delays, insufficient water level or undisclosed faults can materially reduce the amount of cleaning and maintenance completed during the attendance.
Provide safe access
Unlock gates, secure pets and ensure the pool and equipment area can be reached safely.
Set the water level
The customer remains responsible for maintaining sufficient water for the circulation system to operate.
Explain the priority
Tell Integra whether the main concern is debris, floor cleaning, filter care, water balance or presentation.
Disclose known faults
Report leaks, alarms, unusual noise, low flow or non-running equipment before the appointment.
Send useful photos
Provide a whole-pool image and equipment-area image when condition or service suitability is uncertain.
Remove access obstacles
Ensure heavy covers, furniture or stored items do not prevent safe cleaning and equipment access.

Casual Service FAQs
Know what one visit includes before requesting it.
The $149 service fee covers one attendance of up to 60 minutes. Chemicals and any approved extra labour, parts or follow-up visits are additional.
Request Casual ServiceCan I book one pool service without ongoing maintenance?
Yes. Casual Service is a one-off attendance and does not require you to join a weekly, fortnightly or monthly residential service route.
How much does Casual Service cost?
Casual Service is $149 and includes up to 60 minutes onsite. Chemicals are always charged additionally. Additional labour, return visits, parts or specialist work may also be charged after discussion.
What is included in the visit?
A suitable visit can include digital water testing, calculated balancing, surface debris removal, baskets, vacuuming, routine filter care, salt-cell cleaning, visible equipment observations and a digital report. Work is prioritised within the total 60-minute allowance.
Are chemicals included in the $149 price?
No. Chemicals are always additional and are charged according to the products and quantities required by the digital test results and pool condition.
Will every requested task be completed in one visit?
Not necessarily. The technician uses the onsite allowance according to condition, access and the agreed priorities. Heavy debris, unusually dirty filters or work that cannot be completed safely within the allowance may require additional labour or a follow-up visit.
Is filter cleaning included?
Routine sand-filter backwashing or cartridge-filter cleaning is included where required and practical within the 60-minute allowance. Heavily loaded filters, complex disassembly, replacement cartridges or extended labour may require a separate charge or booking.
Is salt-cell cleaning included?
Routine salt-cell inspection and cleaning are included where required and achievable within the onsite allowance. A faulty cell, electrical problem or replacement part is equipment work and is handled separately.
Can Casual Service be used for a green or algae-affected pool?
No. Green water, visible algae or poor turbidity and floor visibility should be assessed through Green Pool Recovery. Recovery may require treatment, filtration support and return visits.
Can equipment repairs be completed during the visit?
Casual Service includes visible observations and routine maintenance, not open-ended fault diagnosis or repairs. Equipment faults, parts and replacement work require approval and may need a separate booking.
Does someone need to be home?
Usually not, provided safe access has been arranged, gates are accessible, pets are secured and the requested priorities and known concerns have been supplied before the visit.
Who maintains the pool water level?
The customer is responsible for maintaining and topping up the pool water level. The pool should have enough water for the circulation and filtration equipment to operate safely when the technician arrives.
Where is Casual Service available?
Casual Service is available across suitable locations in Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Maitland and selected Hunter Valley areas. Acceptance depends on the address, condition, access, requested work and current scheduling capacity.
