For Building Administrators

A technical resource for consortium committees and professional administrators managing residential buildings with community pools.

What administrators typically face

Managing a residential building's pool involves navigating competing contractor opinions, budget constraints, and technical information that is difficult to verify independently.

Competing contractor quotes

Two contractors quote the same problem differently. Without an independent technical baseline, it is difficult to evaluate which diagnosis is accurate and which scope of work is actually necessary.

Repairs that don't hold

The pool is patched, the consortium pays, and the same problem reappears within months. This cycle continues until the underlying cause — often chemical or mechanical — is properly identified and addressed.

Consortium pressure

Residents expect the pool to work. When it doesn't, the administrator is in the difficult position of explaining why money has been spent without lasting results. A documented technical assessment changes that dynamic.

What a Denludi assessment includes

Water Analysis

pH, free chlorine, combined chlorine, total alkalinity, calcium hardness, cyanuric acid, TDS, and microbiological screening.

Structural Condition

Shell integrity, coating adhesion, tile condition, grout, expansion joints, and waterproofing assessment.

Filtration Systems

Pump performance, filter sizing and media condition, flow rate measurement, turnover time, and backwash assessment.

Dosing & Chemicals

Dosing system accuracy, chemical storage, feeder calibration, and consistency of treatment application.

What you receive at the end

The diagnostic report is a practical document — not a technical treatise. It is designed to support decision-making, not to demonstrate expertise.

Executive summary

A concise overview of the pool's current condition, the most significant findings, and the key decisions the consortium needs to make. Written for non-technical readers.

Water chemistry results

Laboratory results presented with reference ranges and plain-language interpretation. Each parameter is explained in terms of what it means for the pool's condition and safety.

Photographic documentation

Photographs of all significant findings — structural issues, equipment condition, visible deterioration — with annotations explaining what is shown and why it matters.

Prioritised findings

All issues categorised as immediate (safety or compliance), medium-term (structural or mechanical), or long-term (maintenance planning). Clear rationale for each classification.

Repair budget framework

Indicative cost ranges for each recommended intervention, organised by priority. Designed to help the consortium understand the financial scope before engaging contractors.

Consortium presentation

A structured session to walk the committee through the findings, answer questions, and clarify the recommended course of action. Available in person or remotely.

How to arrange a diagnostic visit

What we need from you

Access coordination

A date and time when the pool area and equipment room are accessible, and a contact person on site during the visit.

Available documentation

Any existing maintenance records, previous repair invoices, or equipment manuals — if available. Not required, but helpful context.

Known concerns

A brief description of the issues the consortium has observed — water colour, visible damage, equipment behaviour, resident complaints.

What to expect on the day

Duration

The on-site visit typically takes three to four hours. The pool does not need to be closed — we work around normal building access.

Water sampling

Water samples are collected during the visit and sent to a certified laboratory. Results are incorporated into the final report.

Report delivery

The complete written report is delivered within the agreed timeframe following the visit. A presentation session is then scheduled.
