Additional paving and landscaping.How does your system compare with others for cost?
If you take the quality of the components, the easy-care materials chosen and the warranties given, then.... very well!!
Why do you use a concrete shell?
Concrete is a proven material, strong and permanent when buried in the ground hence the 50yr warranty. It is a sound surface to tile and it allows flexibility in designing beaches, water features, step-outs, etc.
Would you build your house on a foundation made of anything but concrete?!!
How easy will it be to look after it?
Conventional concrete pools are great but the interior finish had been a problem to maintain. Painting does not survive well and most special plaster finishes are still porous and will allow algae to take hold.
As in your bathroom or kitchen, you want a hygienic, easy-clean surface - that is what our interior options give you and you will require less sanitiser to maintain healthy water.How long does it take to build my pool?
Usually, we have to wait about 5-6 weeks for the permit then the pool is scheduled in. Once we start work onsite your Pleasure Pool can be completed in about 2 or 3 weeks depending on the size, complexity and other development work surrounding the pool.
Where do I start?
You can peg or mark out your dream pool. Think about patio areas, wind, privacy, access to amenities, etc.
Once you've talked it though with members of the household, phone us and we will arrange an onsite appraisal to work through your thoughts and discuss options with you.Can I upgrade our existing pool?
Yes - we have the plans for all our pools built and with landscape styles changing an upgrade to a new interior is simple. We don't have to disturb other aspects of the pool at all!
What can I do with my tired concrete pool?
Often we can use our patented Classic Pool system inside your concrete shell and you could transform a liability into a real asset. We can also offer other finishes to enhance your concrete pool. We don’t stop there. There are many options with replacement of your pool features such as coping, tiles, paving, sanitisation and more to give you that “new pool” look.
What are the running costs of a pool?
An average swimming pool pump runs for 1,700 hours per year at power costs of 20 cents per hour. Therefore 1,700 x 20c = $340 per year.
Pool additives costs (without sanitising units)
Untreated Chlorine etc. $500 - $1000
Heated Pool $750 - $2,000If you purchase a sanitising system these running costs can be reduced.
