With years of experience in pool installation, we’re here to help you make the right choice and create the perfect swimming pool for your needs.
How to Choose Which Type of Pool to Install
Selecting the right pool is an exciting yet important decision that depends on various factors like your space, lifestyle, and budget. Pool Envy offers a wide range of pools to cater to different requirements, ensuring you’ll find the perfect fit for your home.
Lap Pools
If you're an avid swimmer or simply want a space for exercise, a lap pool could be ideal. These long, narrow pools are designed for swimming laps and are perfect for homeowners with narrow or extended backyards. Lap pools are great for fitness enthusiasts or those who prefer a streamlined, minimalist design.
Family Pools
A family pool represents the best of both worlds: ample space for play as well as relaxation. These pools usually contain different depths so that your little ones can jump about splashing playfully under their parents' watch, and they can be at leisure. Whether it be a splashing afternoon or a BBQ by the weekend in your pool, a family pool is the perfect addition to your backyard.
Plunge Pools
A plunge pool is an elegant and space-efficient luxury that is not compromised. It is perfect for space or those who would just like a pool, designed to relax without having to swim. Plunge pools can be matched well with spa features, ideal for homeowners who want to have a relaxing retreat in their backyard.
Above-Ground Pools vs In-Ground Pools
The option of an above-ground pool versus an inground pool mostly depends on your budget, your design preferences, and your long-term goals. Above-ground pools are much less expensive and installed quite fast, whilst inground pools would give you a permanent option and are much more customisable. In-ground pools can look much nicer, especially if made with fibreglass or concrete, and usually increase in value with property value.
How to Choose Which Pool Size Is Right for You
The size of your pool is going to play a huge role in your ultimate satisfaction. When choosing the size of a pool, think about how you want to use it, the amount of space available, and how many people will typically be in it.
Assess Your Space
Before you make a decision on the size of your pool, take a closer look at your open outdoor area. When space is pretty tight, you can opt for plunge pools or compact lap pools. Bigger backyards can use bigger family pools or even in-ground pools that are adaptable to a wide range of uses.
Usage Needs
Consider how you intend to use your swimming pool. If it’s primarily for exercise, a long lap pool would make sense. If it will be used for family gatherings, parties, or leisure, a more expansive family pool may be the better option. At Pool Envy, we help you evaluate these factors to ensure you choose a pool that meets your needs.
Future Plans
Consider your long-term needs for the property. If you have plans for renovation or expansion sometime down the road, you may find yourself needing more space for landscape features. Selecting the right pool size is more than just about the pool-you want it to fit in with the rest of your yard.
What to Expect During a Pool Installation
At Pool Envy, we try as much as possible to make the pool installation process as stress-free as possible. Below is what you should expect once you decide to collaborate with us.
Initial Consultation and Design
We start with our in-depth consultation on your journey to installing a pool. We help you discuss your vision, space limitations, and budget to devise the best plan for your new pool. Our design team will then construct an exact layout tailored specifically to your yard and lifestyle.
Site Preparation
Once the design is finalised, we prepare the site for installation. If it is an inground pool, we shall dig and excavate the area, whereas, for an above-ground pool, we prepare a foundational support system. The team makes sure that all groundwork is done as per industry standards and that no problems arise in the near future.
Installation
Once the site is prepared, the pool will be installed. Whether it is a fibreglass pool or an above-ground one, our pool installation engineers ensure that the work is done at a hectic pace without compromise on quality.
Plumbing and Electrical Work
Installation of the swimming pool, plumbing, and electrical work are all handled once installation is done. So, we set up the pumps, filters, and heating systems, if required, and fit them in properly so everything works seamlessly in delivering a swimming experience to you.
Final Inspection and Handover
The last stage of the process involves a final inspection to ensure everything is functioning properly. We’ll walk you through pool maintenance and provide any necessary documentation, such as warranties. After that, it’s time to enjoy your new pool!
FAQs
What Factors Affect the Cost of Pool Installation?
Many factors can drive up the cost of installing a swimming pool. These include the kind of pool—be it fibreglass, plunge pools, or inground pools—its size, with all the customisation possible, and whether or not it is installed above or inground. Excavation, plumbing, and landscaping are part of the equation and may affect what is charged. Pool Envy has transparent pricing and can give you a detailed quote of exactly what requirements will be needed.
How Long Do Swimming Pools Usually Last?
The lifespan of a pool depends on the materials used and its maintenance. For instance, fibreglass pools can last as long as 20-30 years and more if well taken care of, while concrete pools must be resurfaced every 10-15 years. Maximising the life of your pool will require quality installations and regular maintenance.
Do I Need a Fence for My Pool in Adelaide?
Yes, actually, it is a legal requirement to install it as per law in Adelaide and in the remainder of South Australia, such as pool fencing, but for safety purposes. The type of fencing we are dealing with shall conform to Australia's regulations, and we may be able to educate you on some requirements that must be followed when we install it.
How Close to a Boundary Can You Build a Pool in Adelaide?
The distance from the boundary from which a pool can be built varies under local council regulations. In general, a pool needs to be constructed at least 1 metre off the boundary, but we would definitely suggest you contact your local council or call us to confirm.
Do You Offer Payment Plans?
At Pool Envy, we present flexible payment plans in an effort to make pool ownership accessible to you. In addition, our staff can discuss many financing options with you to fit your budget and schedule.
What’s the Warranty on Your Pools?
All our fibreglass pools are supplied with a comprehensive warranty, mostly based on structural integrity, for up to 25 years of their life span. Warranty terms, however, vary with each pool and those additional features involved, but you get all the details at the moment of purchase.
With Pool Envy, you can rest assured that your pool installation will be seamless, professional, and tailored to meet your individual needs. Whether you’re looking for an above-ground pool, a luxurious lap pool, or a family-friendly inground pool, we have the expertise to bring your vision to life.
