Re: Reputable Pool Companies in Perth 8Feb 21, 2010 12:08 pm Michelle From Perth I would not be going with any of the bigger known fibreglass pool companies, which are nearly almost owned by the same company, they just have different trading names. We had a terrible experience with one of the bigger known companies last year. It was devastating to say the least..... Hi Michelle Thanks so much for your post and your pm. We have decided not to go with our original quote (1 of 2) and instead went yesterday to the Leisure Pools display centre. We spent around an hour and a half with one of the sales guys there who was absolutely fantastic. We went right through the install process and wow these guys do things way differently to any of those other companies you mentioned. They back fill with a sand/cement mix and then pour a concrete band with steel reinforcing. The install takes 2 weeks in total (an extra week if you have a water feature). They don't use contractors - they are all staff that do the installs. I just got such a good feeling from this company - something just didn't gel with my husband and I from the other 2 we spoke with. They invited my daughter to test drive the pools yesterday which she did along with a couple of other kids that were there which was neat. We have gone with a 4.4m x 9m Elegance with a Cascade water feature. The pool equipment fits nicely behind the water feature and is weather proof. Inclusive of pool pump/filter, start up kit, manual cleaning kit, automatic pool cleaner, 6 spa jets, 2 x LED lights, plumbing for solar heating (no heating just yet) - quote came in at $33,000. Yes a little more expensive than the others, but apart from a possible hard digging charge, we are not going to be up for the extra unknowns which I believe we would have had with the other companies. We do have to add paving and pool fencing on top of this, but we knew that anyway. So thanks again - we feel really happy about our decision.

Dave Re: Reputable Pool Companies in Perth 12Apr 06, 2010 10:03 pm mckelvie jbarry We are hoping to be able to install a Fibreglass but may opt for concrete if space becomes an issue. Any details you could include such as price, inclusions, good/bad points would be appreciated. Thanks I have just finished (and have now signed up) getting quotations on a concrete pool. Our pool was 8m x 4.5m - geometric, but the placing off the pool was the issue - hence concrete was the go. Pool placement is butted right up against my DH's shed - so structurally we needed deeper foundations to support that side of the shed wall (our water feature is going there). The basic pool price was 28,000.00. Our extras were; ~ Gas Heater $3,900 ~Dolphine Easy Kleen Robotic Cleaner (no hoses) 3 hour cleaning cycle once a week. $1000 ~ Frameless self cleaning glass fencing with stainless steel fittings (included 2 gates) - just under $5k We went with Instyle Pools. Sydney is obviously more expensive - fully tiled, solar heated 8x4 pool including coping is about $55k plus council fees plus electricals. And we don't have a resources boom. BTW - how much glass in your fence - looks very cheap. Re: Reputable Pool Companies in Perth 13May 04, 2010 10:37 pm Jbarry, I'll be interested to hear how you get on with Leisure Pools. The Elegance is the one I love too, just got the brochure in the post today When are you planning installation? I'm planning late this year or perhaps early 2011. Re: Reputable Pool Companies in Perth 14Jun 02, 2010 5:55 pm Hi All, We are about to start building and Leisure pools are booked to give us a firm quote, we're in Melb and the service/equiptment levels and pricing sound very similar. I'll let you know how we go. Building at Sierra Estate. Re: Reputable Pool Companies in Perth 15Jun 21, 2010 11:11 pm Have also signed up with Guardian, jury out till finished -lol, but seemed the most professional. Re: Reputable Pool Companies in Perth 18Jul 30, 2010 8:59 pm PoolBeetle Hi everyone, I'm a newbie here Few years ago my brother contracted Leisure pools to build his dream swimming pool. So far, the swimming pool is still in good condition. However, it cost him almost $9,000! What Happened, did he have problems with it? We've just signed up for one of their Elegance pools, just need our house to be completed so we can install and enjoy it!!! Building at Sierra Estate. Re: Reputable Pool Companies in Perth 19Sep 23, 2010 3:38 pm Hi everyone. Just wondering how everyone got on with their pool installs and post experiences? I am at a stage where I am considering having a pool put in and would definitely prefer someone highly recommended. I am in Perth. Thanks in advance! Re: Reputable Pool Companies in Perth 20Sep 24, 2010 4:59 pm We went with InStyle Pools for a concrete pool - signed and paid the deposit 14/11/2008 - final handover Jan 2010. We found them very expensive and very poor quality work. I eventually paid for another contractor to come in and relay their paving. Initially both the pool and the water feature leaked. I would strongly recommend people to stay away from them. It is in lake macquarie area and dimensions are width 14 m and depth 8 m and the slope is 1/5 going down from the road. 1 1270 Hi everyone, Looking for some advise.
