Mr Pool Man: Term 1 is in full swing, is your pool keeping up?
Still have pool funding left? Now’s the time to plan upgrades before Term 1 hits full speed.

By February, school pools across Australia are no longer warming up – they’re in constant use. Swim programs are running daily, temperatures remain high, and pool systems are operating at full capacity. This is often when small issues – inconsistent dosing, tired filters, inaccurate testing – start to surface.
The good news? If your school has accessed or is still eligible for government funding, now is the ideal time to action upgrades before minor issues turn into lesson disruptions.
Through Education Australia’s Funding Hub, many schools are securing funding support for essential pool infrastructure – including filters, pumps, dosing systems, and test kits. If your equipment is under strain or nearing end-of-life, addressing it now can prevent downtime later in the term.
At Mr Pool Man, we work with schools every week to supply compliant equipment and prepare clear, funding-aligned quotes – helping you move quickly, confidently, and within budget.

Explore funding options.
“February is when we see systems really being tested. Pools are running hard every day, and anything that’s borderline starts to show it. Acting now — while funding is still available — can save schools from unexpected shutdowns later in the term.“
Luke – Senior Account Manager (Education Sector)
Mid-Term Water Quality Check
It’s not just major equipment that needs attention. February is a smart time to review:
- Test kits and reagent expiry dates
- Dosing consistency and output
- Early signs of algae or chemical imbalance
Accurate testing and reliable dosing are critical when pools are in daily use — especially with student safety and compliance on the line.
📊 Why Timing Matters
Most school pool issues emerge mid-term, once equipment has been running continuously for several weeks — not at the start of the season.
Preventative action now can mean uninterrupted programs through the rest of Term 1.
