Hi, I'm Ricky.

"I'll just sort it out for you."

I've spent years working in and around pools — first as a swim teacher, then building A Stroke Ahead Swimming right here in Goulburn. Through that work, I've been lucky enough to work with hundreds of local families, and I kept hearing the same thing over and over: people were struggling with their pools and couldn't find anyone they could actually trust to give them a straight answer.

That's why I started The Pool Shed. It's not a big franchise or a call centre — it's me, turning up, rolling my sleeves up, and getting it done properly. Whether it's balancing your chemicals, diagnosing a pump issue, or just explaining why your water's gone cloudy, I genuinely enjoy sorting it out.

Goulburn is home. I've built relationships here over many years, and I want The Pool Shed to be the kind of local business people rely on and recommend without a second thought — because we actually do what we say we will.

FAQ

Questions? We've Got Answers.

Everything you wanted to know about your pool — answered honestly.

For most residential pools, a fortnightly service is the sweet spot — enough to keep water chemistry balanced and the pool clean without overchecking. In summer or after heavy rain, you may want weekly visits. We'll recommend the right frequency for your pool after a look.
Don't panic — a green pool is fixable. The first step is NOT to drain it. Call us, and we'll come and assess the algae level and recommend the right treatment. Most green pools can be recovered with a shock treatment and proper filtration over 24–72 hours. Draining should be a last resort.
Balanced water should be clear, odourless, and comfortable to swim in — not burning your eyes or leaving skin feeling dry. Ideally, test your water weekly using a test kit or strips. Better yet, bring a sample into our shop at 21 Gulson St and we'll test it for free and tell you exactly what to adjust.
The ideal pH range for a swimming pool is 7.2–7.6. Below 7.2 and the water becomes acidic — it can irritate skin and eyes and corrode equipment. Above 7.6 and chlorine becomes less effective, allowing bacteria and algae to thrive. We stock everything you need to adjust pH, and we can show you how.
The ideal free chlorine level is 1–3 ppm (parts per million). The exact amount you need to add depends on your pool volume, current chlorine level, sun exposure, and how much the pool is being used. More isn't always better — too much chlorine can bleach liners and irritate swimmers. Bring a sample in and we'll work it out with you.
Ironically, a strong chlorine smell usually means there's not enough free chlorine in your pool. That smell comes from chloramines — compounds that form when chlorine combines with sweat, sunscreen, and other contaminants. The fix is actually to shock the pool with a large dose of chlorine to break down those compounds. Bring us a sample and we can confirm.
Yes — we service pools in the broader Goulburn region and surrounding areas. Give us a call on 0422 806 941 and let us know your location. We'll let you know if we can get to you and work out a schedule that suits.
Absolutely — walk-ins are always welcome at our shop at 21 Gulson St. We stock a full range of pool chemicals, testing equipment and accessories. If you're unsure what you need, bring a water sample and we'll test it for free and point you in the right direction.
It depends on the severity. A mildly green pool can often be cleared within 24–48 hours with the right treatment and continuous filtration. A heavily affected pool may take 3–5 days of treatment, testing, and adjustments. We'll give you a realistic timeframe when we assess your pool — and we won't leave you hanging.
