Naturally-looking swimming pool colour

When the sun is out it is a light soft blue and when it is overcast it is a broody deep rock colour which is just beautiful. They had natural stone already chosen in their mind so choosing the pool colour felt really easy for them.

The No. 1 family pool for this family

The pool area was designed for family life and the X-trainer was always the pool they liked. The shape has the 4 corners with access points (either the 2 bench seats at the deep end or the step and bench in the shallow ends). No matter how many people are in the pool there are spaces for everyone.

Great looking water features

Sunpod is great for kids to play or just for anyone to sit, lay down and soak in the sun or just look at it. The water wall water feature has the same natural design with stones.

Pool waiting for the house to be finished

The pool and spa was installed after the house was knocked down & cleared allowing great access for the pool build. The pool needed a protection cover on the pool during the entire house build which was bolted onto the concrete beam so that a temporary fence was not needed and pool and spa was made safe.

Pool finalisation and landscaping

After the house was at lockup the house builder allowed us back on site to remove the protection cover and then hook up the pool equipment. This meant the client could continue on with the landscaping whilst the house was being completed.

Pool and spa combo with Sunpod

There is a Sunpod water feature between the pool and the spa so that the water runs off the pod into the pool and spa. It makes the pod glisten and provide a soft and subtle water feature. It also connects the pool and spa visually.

Managing / heating different parts of the pool

The spa can be managed either independently to the pool or with the pool. This means they can heat the spa on its own OR together OR just the pool on its own. You have all those options via valves that close off the different options. When they have finished with the spa they can go back to normal pool mode which means the water mixes with the pool making the spa clean so easy.

Why choose a lap pool

The space in this property was not strictly limited but it was quite narrow. The owners could have put in a wider pool, but they wanted the lines to work with their wall and house. They also wanted the spa to look like it was part of the pool and not ‘just added to the end.

Heating the pool

They had a big gas heater for the spa for quick heat up on demand which also allowed them to heat the pool when they wanted. The pool is visible from many areas of the house hence they needed it to be self cleaning so it was always clean.

Choosing a Vivid pool colour

They chose royal blue as they wanted a deeper looking blue colour. They have the pool lights on at night regularly which means it doesn’t matter what colour pool at night it was given the multi colour lights gives them green, magenta, red and several different shades of blue. However, during the day the sun gives the pool different shades of the royal blue, when overcast it is quite a dark blue and then the water colour becomes very radiant when the sun shines. They love the colour. 50 shades of blue they call it.

A pool for (also) grandkids

Our client had semi-retired and moved from Traralgon to a smaller seaside community. They have young grandchildren and wanted their house to accommodate the next chapter in their lives.

Indoor and outdoor lifestyle

They wanted the pool at their living area to bring their indoor and outdoor lifestyle together. They wanted to match it.

The pool shape and colour

7.2m x 3.7m X-Trainer swimming pool in the Bi-luminite Quartz pool colour. The pool features a Lincoln Salt chlorinator and Spa Electric pool lights. A gas heater is used for boost heat and Sunbather solar heating is heating the pool from Spring to Autumn.

Awesome pool installation

This gorgeous self-cleaning Compass fibreglass pool and spa combination was built by Compass Pools Melbourne. The X-Trainer 8.2 pool is accompanied by a X-Trainer spa to create a stunning home oasis for Amir, the pool owner.

Features of this pool

A large gas heater is used to heat both the pool and the spa. A spa water feature known as a ‘sunken spa’ was built, allowing the water to look like one body of water, however, the spa can heat separately or the pool and spa can be heated all together.

Complete backyard transformation

This pool is the gem of the backyard. Nicole and her family love it even when they are not swimming in it as it is such a pleasure to look at it. This Vogue fibreglass pool in the Pearl Bi-luminite colour completely transformed their backyard and just adds to the feeling of beauty and luxury. This swimming pool featured the Vantage self-cleaning system which automatically takes care of cleaning the pool, without the owner needing to lift the finger. The attached Sunpod (sometimes called “Bubbler”) water feature also contributes to the amazing look & feel of this beautiful pool installation by Compass Pools Melbourne.

Some of the features of this swimming pool

The hidden solar pool cover (Sunbather hidden blanket) keeps the heat inside the pool, minimising both heat and water losses. The pool is heated by a combination of an Astral gas heater and Sunbather solar heating. The Sunpod water feature runs on a separate pump. Another feature of this pool is the automatic water leveller so that the pool owners do not need to check the water level and adjust it manually.

The Alfresco area

When installing the pool, Compass Pools Melbourne, the Compass Pools authorised pool dealer for the Greater Melbourne area, worked with the landscaper to lift the height of the pool by 300mm. This has assisted them in matching the future Alfresco area with the pool area to achieve the feeling of one integrated zone.
