What Hydrilla does
Hydrilla Pty Ltd, trading as Hydrilla Commercial Swimming Pools and Aquatics, is an Adelaide-headquartered Australian commercial aquatic solutions provider operating across South Australia, the Northern Territory, Western Australia, Tasmania, and Victoria. The company designs, constructs, renovates, and maintains commercial swimming pools, hydrotherapy facilities, splash pads, water treatment systems, and high-rise pools for councils, government bodies, hospitality operators, educational institutions, healthcare providers, and residential developers. The company rebranded from State Wide Pool Services Australia to Hydrilla in 2021 and joined Myrtha Pools as an exclusive regional dealer in 2022, giving it access to prefabricated modular stainless steel pool systems and the RenovAction renovation technology.
Core offerings span construction services, redevelopment and renovation, water treatment system upgrades (including UV sanitation capable of eliminating Cryptosporidium and reducing chloramines, and Ultra Fine Filtration down to 1 micron via Neptune Benson Defender regenerative media filters), and recurring maintenance and servicing contracts that include remote monitoring, water quality testing, and emergency call-outs. Hydrilla's technical stack emphasises commercial-grade water quality engineering, Myrtha's prefab panel systems for elevated or rooftop installations, and accessibility-compliant construction. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 quality management certification and has won multiple SPASA Awards of Excellence at state and national levels every year from 2019 through 2025 across commercial pool, renovation, system, and community project categories.
Hydrilla's business model combines project-based, quote-driven one-time construction and upgrade revenue with recurring maintenance and servicing contracts. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales targeting government, institutional, and commercial hospitality buyers through tenders, proposals, and ongoing relationship management. No public pricing is disclosed. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, institutional investors, or parent company, operating as Hydrilla Pty Ltd (ABN 64 620 130 734).

It is comparable to Hydrilla through its commercial aquatic water treatment offering, though at a much larger scale and broader industrial focus.
