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.

Compass Vogue pool in Royal Blue colour

This awesome pool was built for Chris & Tony by Compass Pools Melbourne who worked closely with the house builder to time the pool installation. It was what they refer to as a sleeper pool – the house builder did the site cut on the entire block and Compass Pools Melbourne then installed the pool, including filling with water and installing the concrete beam.

Building the pool before the house

The pool was then protected using a protection lid and the pool builder has run the pool pipes to the final pool equipment location. The house builder then built the house. Afterwards, Compass Pools Melbourne came back at lock up and removed the cover and installed the pool equipment and turned it on. While Chris and her family were moving into the house the landscapers were finishing off the paving. There would have been very little access to the backyard after the house would have been built so it would have cost them so much more to install after.

Features of this pool

The pool features the Vantage self-cleaning system which takes care of the pool cleaning. It’s heated up by a 400mj gas heater and has an automatic water filler so that Chris & Tony do not need to check and adjust the water level. The deck jet water feature with a separate pump adds to the amazing look of this Royal Blue fibreglass pool.
