  • Thinking about buying a pool but don’t know where to start?

    Buying a swimming pool is one of the smartest moves you can make but it can also be one of the most confusing products to understand. Concrete pool, fibreglass pool or a pre-engineered pool? Chlorine pool, salt-water pool or fresh water pool? Solar pool heating or gas pool heating? Standard pool pump or energy efficient variable speed pump? So many options to choose from.

    Before you dive in, it is important to understand that not all pools are the same…and more importantly, you will have to live with the consequences of your choice for a long time because you cannot sell a pool or take it back for a refund if things don’t work out.

    Where do you start? Its quite simple, swimming pool display centres. You would never buy a car sight unseen or without taking it for a test drive, nor should you choose a pool let alone a pool builder without seeing the product up close and personal.

    Apart from being able to see a range of pool shapes, pool sizes and pool colours, a pool display centre is the best place to begin your research on swimming pools. You can touch and feel the product, ask the staff each and every question that comes to mind and if it’s a nice sunny day, you can even take a pool for a test drive! And if you like what you see and hear, then consider organizing an obligation free pool quote.

    To help you along this research journey, we have developed a Pool Buyers Question & Answer Book. Our fully landscaped pool display centres are also open seven days a week year round for your convenience.

    We look forward to seeing you soon!
