If everything goes according to plan, you’ll end up with a sparkling pool and bubbling spa just as you envisaged But if things go awry, your dreams could turn sour as you encounter unexpected costs and unnecessary heartache You can easily avoid the pitfalls by working with a member of the Swimming pool and Spa association (SPASA).

Every homeowner that has been through the building process can tell you there’s a lot to think about type and size of pool finishes and fittings, equipment choices, fencing regulations, maintenance considerations and more that’s why the industry relies heavily on reputation and word-of-mouth referral, because no-one will ‘tell it like it is’ better than someone who has lived through the experience
