There is a good reason why the majority of pools sold in Australia are salt water chlorinated pools. They are efficient, cost effective to buy and maintain and are liked by the pool buying public for their ease of use. If any regular swimmers in your pool have skin sensitivities like eczema or other muscle related challenges, mineralising your pool is going to make a noticeable difference to your pool fun and how you feel after a swim.

A full-service pool builder will sell you the pool itself, and then install the pool using their tradespeople, under their pool builder's licence. This is the traditional "one stop shop" where the pool builder will manage the entire process for you. This includes council approvals, installation, pool fencing, landscaping, paving and certification on completion. This is discussed further in the next section.

Buying pools direct means you have exactly the same size range to choose from as every other full price pool builder out there so lets tick that box straight up.

Depending on how much money and time you want to save, there are different ways to buy and install a swimming pool, including a DIY pool. In many instances, the money saved can mean the difference between getting your swimming pool now or having to save a little longer.

Fibreglass pools kits are cheaper than concrete generally. However you and your neighbour could buy exactly the same inground or above ground swimming pool kits and your pool costs $10,000 more. Click the link to find out why.
