Having a backyard swimming pool is a great asset and one you will thoroughly enjoy for years to come! But no doubt, you may have plenty of questions. We have put together 10 of the most common frequently asked questions that may just be the answers you’re looking for.
What type of pool can I install?
We offer a wide range of pool shapes and layouts which are individually designed to suit your lifestyle and tailored to suit your individual wants and needs.
How much does pool installation cost?
Costs will vary depending on the pool shape, size and layout you decide on. We also look at the location of the pool and any additional items that are needed. Please contact Exotic Pools for an accurate cost estimate.
How long does installation take?
On average, you could be looking at a timeframe of 8-12 weeks. This will depend on the pool, your yard, the weather and any other contributing factors.
How do I clean my pool?
Regular upkeep of your pool might include balancing chemicals, cleaning filters, vacuuming and removing debris. Automated systems may help reduce any manual cleaning or upkeep.
Do I need a permit to install my pool?
Yes, you need a building permit for pools more than 30cm deep and must comply with safety regulations, including fencing requirements.
How close to the boundary fence line can a pool be built?
Pool placement will vary depending on local council rules and regulations, but as a general rule, swimming pools need to be positioned at least one metre away from the property boundary.
What is the difference between saltwater and magnesium pools?
Saltwater pools use a combination of salt and chlorine, while magnesium pools, which feature a combination of magnesium and chlorine on a smaller scale, have many health benefits as the magnesium soaks into your skin.
Can my pool have heating?
You can have solar heating or an electric heat pump installed for your pool.
What happens to my pool during winter?
If you aren’t using your pool (with a heater of course!), a pool cover will help maintain water levels with minimal top up required. Keep up regular maintenance to ensure your pool stays healthy for when summer rolls around again.
Can I add a spa to my pool?
You can have a spa installed separately or with your pool as a combo.
