Mr Pool Man: New Year. New Term. New Pool Budget?
Still have pool funding left? Now’s the time to plan upgrades before Term 1 hits full speed.
As schools return from break and Term 1 kicks off, pools across Australia are being refilled,vretested, and reopened. It’s also when forgotten maintenance, expired chemicals, or worn-out equipment make themselves known — usually at the worst time. If your pool is in use or about to be, now is the time to plan, quote and action any remaining government-funded upgrades while the budget window is still open.
Through Education Australia’s Funding Hub, your school may be eligible for support covering filters, pumps, dosing systems, test kits, and other critical equipment. Whether you’ve already started your application or haven’t yet explored your options, we’re here to help.
At Mr Pool Man, we supply both our own Water TechniX range and trusted commercial-grade brands — and we can help you quickly produce funding-friendly quotes and specifications. We’ll even highlight long-term cost savings and energy efficiencies where applicable, making your submission even stronger.
“January is when a lot of schools discover something’s failed over the holidays — or realise they’ve still got budget to spend before it resets. If you act now, you can still get funding in place and equipment delivered before students are back in the water full-time.”
Luke – Senior Account Manager (Education Sector)
Don’t Let Term 1 Catch You Off Guard
Here’s what we recommend reviewing now:
- Has your filter reached end-of-life?
- Are your test kits accurate and reagents in date?
- Has your doser or chlorinator been showing warning lights or irregular output?
- Are there signs of dosing imbalance or algae after the break?
If the answer to any of these is yes — or even maybe — now’s the time to act.
Planning Stat to Prompt Action
Most school pool breakdowns happen within the first 6 weeks of Term 1 — when usage spikes fast.
