James Cross spent over a decade working for other Auckland pool companies before starting Auckland Pool Services in 2012. The reason was simple: customers wanted someone who'd actually own the relationship — not a rotating crew, not a call centre.
Today James still personally handles every quote, valet route and repair on the North Shore. Free quotes on all work. All work guaranteed. And when a repair can be done underwater, we'll do it that way — no need to drain your pool.
Whether you want clear water without lifting a finger, your pool brought back from green, or a brand-new heat pump installed before summer — we cover it end-to-end.
Test, chemical-balance, skim, brush, empty strainers, vacuum pool, backwash, plus written report on plant and equipment.

All the chemistry and surface care of a Full Valet — without the vacuum. Great for pools that get a regular skim already.

Entry-level chemistry check: test the water, dose the chemicals, leave a written report — perfect between fuller services.
Water testing, chemicals, cartridge-filter clean and vacuuming as required, plus a report. Spa drain-and-refill available.

Heat pumps capture ambient warmth from the air and transfer it to your pool. No gas, just electricity — and far less of it than a traditional heater. We supply and install Oasis and Sunlover heat pumps, sized to your pool and Auckland's climate, with our recommendation up front and free quote.
James has been painting Auckland pools for over 20 years. We use 2-part epoxy pool paint — over 30 years of proven performance in NZ conditions — with sand or soda blast surface prep before painting, then two to three coats depending on what your surface needs.
Algae-bloomed, neglected, or forgotten over winter? Send us a photo and we'll give you a single fixed price — no matter how many visits or chemicals it takes to get your pool back to clear blue water.

James Cross has worked on Auckland pools for over 23 years — painting them, servicing them, and fitting heat pumps. He started Auckland Pool Services in 2012 after years working with other Auckland pool companies, to provide a more personal service. He still personally handles every job. That's not a marketing line — it's the whole business model.
We're a small operator and we don't run paid review schemes. If you've worked with us, leaving a Google review really helps — once we have a handful, they'll appear here.
Our regular valet routes cover Auckland's North Shore. Pool painting and major one-off projects we'll travel anywhere in Auckland — give us a call and we'll let you know.
Tell us what you're after — a regular valet, a one-off clean, a heat pump, a paint job, or a pool that's gone green over winter. James will get back to you with a free, no-obligation quote.
