It’s been a busy season for the pool industry. While the south of the country takes a break from warm weather, this is the time pool designers and builders make a head start in getting new pools ready for the swimming season. It’s also when most of the industry awards take place, acknowledging the best in the business. Attached to this issue is a booklet showcasing the award-winning pools and product suppliers from the latest SPASA Australia awards. Flick through to see exciting lap pools, spas, plunge pools, pool renovations and more. Because you asked for it, we have also included a special pool product supplement, which has been put together by industry experts specifically to help you understand the options that are available when it comes to the mechanics…

The new Olympic Winter Training Institute facility at Mount Buller in Victoria is open for business. Both aerialist ski athletes and mogul athletes are loving the new equipment and are honing their skills indoors before applying them on the snow. MrTrampoline also supplies trampolines for training acrobats at Cirque du Soleil and uses virtually the same trampoline for its professional trampolines as it does for its backyard versions. For more information, visit mrtrampoline.com.au…

During my years working in the tiling industry, I have visited suburbs all over Sydney to offer design advice for pool renovations. Time and time again, I have visited pools with designs that were popular in the ‘70s, ‘80s and early ‘90s, which have failed. Some of the projects I visited left vivid memories of the early stages of the evolving pool tiling industry. When I think of these old pools, I get a mental image of a light-green water colour resulting from a deteriorating lining that covered the interior of the pool and also flowed over the raised coping. This would be broken up with a 50mm x 50mm ceramic mosaic that, by the time I visited, had fallen off the wall onto the floor of the pool. Back…

This coastal site in the Victorian town of Portsea slopes quite rapidly, and the homeowners, who were undertaking a home renovation, wanted their pool to be directly accessible from the deck. As a result, their north-facing fully tiled pool is suspended within a timber deck, which is situated up to 2.4m from the ground. Clever design and engineering have created an unusual wedge-shaped pool incorporating a lap section and spa. “The challenge in working with this design was that the proposed site for this pool was wedged between the existing house and nearby boundary fence, neither parallel to each other,” explains Chris Jackson, managing director of Aquarius Pools. “Also adding to the engineering was an easement on the boundary housing a deep sewer service.” The pool provides a stunning water…

In Sydney’s inner west, space is definitely at a premium and room for a swimming pool is extremely difficult to come by. This client had a very limited space in which to build a pool and as a result came up with a dual-purpose concept that makes the most of every available centimetre for pure relaxation away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Studio Annandale designed the rectangular spa/plunge pool, known as the Annandale Balinese Retreat due to its Balinese villa inspiration, to fit perfectly in the front courtyard of the townhouse. “There was very limited space,” explains Zeb Rodrigues of Artesian Pools. “Due to this, all excavation for the pool had to be done by hand.” The pool was built right up to the front patio, with…

The owners of this contemporary-style, rectangular pool in Hawthorn, South Australia, love entertaining, while their kids love sport, so it was essential their new pool address both of these requirements. “In designing their pool, we understood the clients’ needs, taking into consideration all family requirements so that the pool gains maximum use,” says Michael Robinson from 360 Pools. His clients wanted a pool that is both the highlight of and “makes” the backyard, while also being totally usable. Their pool has a lovely refreshing look, with inviting water that makes the whole family want to dive right in. “The white tiles and compact aesthetic create an open feel, making it a place in which you really want to be,” explains Michael. Built on the family’s flat 800m2 block, the design…

Although many Australians dream of having a pool in their backyard to enjoy with family and friends, it can be expensive and may not be a viable option for everyone. A modular pool is a fantastic cost-effective alternative to a fibreglass or concrete pool, making the dream of a backyard poolscape a possibility for many homeowners. Clark Rubber has been a part of the Australian community for more than 70 years and offers a wide variety of modular Clark pools, with shapes and sizes to suit your backyard and budget. Designs include round, oval and square-end pools that can be installed completely in-ground, partially in-ground or above ground. Some models can even include a deep end. Complete pool packages are available including pumps, filters, chlorinators, liners and ladders — everything…

This space was designed and built to provide the privacy, entertainment and functionality the homeowners desperately required of their inner-west Sydney Enmore residence. The result of a clever design by GOODMANORS Pool + Garden, the space now boasts an impressive alfresco area, outdoor lighting scheme and sleek and unexpected plunge pool. The well-executed outdoor space not only offers room for wining, dining and swimming, but also provides the practicality of hidden built-in storage for the pool equipment, dryer and bins, plus a secure parking space for the resident’s car. Hidden neatly under and behind the barbecue bench space is the pool equipment, the recycling bins and an outdoor undercover laundry area, all accessed from the carport level. Atmospheric lighting of the space was an integral part of the brief and…

In a nod to this homeowner’s Greek heritage, she envisaged a clean, sophisticated, Mediterranean-looking outdoor space here in Melbourne. She and her husband have one child, who is in primary school, so they wanted a space that would not only be suitable for their child, but for their friends and extended family as well. As they both have busy jobs (one is a lawyer and the other is a banker), it was crucial their pool also be low maintenance. “The homeowner requested a Mediterranean-style design, which incorporated either marble or granite,” explains Josh Schwal of Southern Cross Pools. “Originally, it was going to be marble, however designer Kate Patterson, of Kate Patterson Landscape Architects, thought the combination of tiles and granite pavers that we eventually used offered a more modern…

A beautiful pool can become an eyesore simply because the wrong fence was chosen. Aqua Glass Pool Fencing believes the best glass fence is the one you can’t see — one that offers uninterrupted views of your pool, balcony and surrounds. The company’s products provide the safety and strength of traditional pool fencing and balustrading while retaining a clear view of the pool or vista. This pool beautifully showcases its frameless glass fencing system, which is made of 12mm-thick toughened clear glass with rounded and polished edges. A number of custom panels were incorporated into this design. “We only use the best-quality products, such as marine-grade stainless-steel self-closing hydraulic hinges, keyless magnetic latches, and 2205 duplex-grade square mirror-finish stainless-steel spigots and accessories,” explains the company’s Adam Trisic. “All our glass…

Look carefully at this award-winning pool by Urban Oasis, in particular the tiles. The high-quality ceramic Sea Mist pool tile isn’t a plain-coloured tile. Presented in an alternating pattern, the tiles contain various shades and no two tiles in the range are the same. The gradient changes within each tile from inside to out. “The alternation provides a natural, classic finish to the pool,” says Gian Battista, business development manager of Tiles on Bradman Drive. “It is a timeless tile that provides a natural finish that will not date. Unlike other tiles, Sea Mist varies its colour not only through each tile, but through the variety of blues that mimic the sea’s clear blue waters.” This means it is perfect for almost every application and delivers a clear, crisp blue…

Being able to use your swimming pool throughout the year should be a goal for pool owners who want to gain maximum returns on their investment. Installing the right pool heater can extend your swimming season by up to four months and beyond. Today, trans-seasonal pool heating is becoming even more commonplace, with a range of pool heating solutions to choose from depending on your budget, location and lifestyle. Creating and maintaining the ideal pool temperature doesn’t come naturally. While pool water predominantly hovers around the 18 to 20°C mark, it takes a designated heating system to bump it up to comfortable levels — around 25 to 29°C. There are three main heating options to choose from: solar, gas and heat pumps. SOLAR Undeniably the most environmentally friendly option of…

CERAMIC AND GLASS TILES Ceramic and glass tiles are some of the more expensive pool interior choices due to their high-end look and high durability. Pool tiles are available in a wide array of colours, textures and sizes, giving the homeowner a chance to add personality and interest to their pool. Pool tiles can be small and laid in a mosaic pattern, or larger and grouted in any colour to either blend or contrast with the tile. Some people choose to use pool tiles just above the waterline to create the illusion of a tiled pool without the cost. While they’re initially a more expensive option than other pool interiors, tiles do stand out due to their glamorous and timeless look. VINYL LINER Vinyl-lined pools can be manufactured in a…

Developments in technology have resulted in a flood of new underwater lighting options, all capable of transforming your pool into a beautiful, inviting, friendly and mood-altering environment. For many owners, traditional incandescent lighting is a popular choice due to the comparatively low cost of installation; however, there are many more options now on the market. These range from halogen lights to LEDs (light-emitting diodes), fibre-optic, flush-mounted, surface-mounted and multicoloured lights — all in a number of different shapes and sizes. While it seems natural to focus on underwater lighting, the area around the pool is just as important from both aesthetic and safety perspectives. Why not create a welcoming ambience by installing soft lighting around the deck, along the pathways and on the landscaping features of your pool? Note that…

Whether you have a small backyard or a large outdoor area, finding the right pool for your individual space is crucial. When it comes to the backyard swimming pool, size doesn’t matter. Be it big or small, just about any space today can accommodate a pool or spa. All it takes is some careful planning and a creative eye to turn any space into a stylish outdoor setting. SMALL AND STYLISH With inner-city properties at a premium and housing blocks succumbing to subdivision, small pools are becoming an increasingly popular trend in Australia. Unlike the ‘80s and ‘90s, which saw the average suburban swimming pool measuring a spacious 9m x 4.5m, today’s pool dimensions have shrunk considerably to a tiny 4m x 2m. This drastic shift in size, however, has…

Kevin and Genevieve, a couple in their 50s who live in Alphington in Melbourne, love the outdoors and are both active cyclists and swimmers. The purpose of their plunge pool with hydrotherapy jets, which they share with Genevieve’s teenage daughter, Charlotte, was to allow them to chill out after a hot day on the bikes or after the commute home. Their concept was for a quiet and relaxing outdoor space that includes the sights and sounds of water, that’s visible from the family room and can be used for most of the year. As Genevieve is an interior designer, it was only fitting that she designed the space. Their site is a 450m2, gently sloping, rectangular block. A plunge pool with waterfall feature is integrated into a large deck area,…

Flinders in Victoria is known for its elevated views of Bass Strait, rugged coastline, pine trees and rolling green hills. With its dark mosaic tiles and timeless bluestone surrounds, this pool fits seamlessly into the iconic landscape. The owners of this home employed a designer to create a pool and landscape that brought together all of their wishes. It needed to be contemporary and tasteful to blend with the style of the new home and the area. The team at East Coast Swimming Pools used their expertise and high-quality workmanship to make the concept an impressive reality. The 8m x 4m concrete pool is fully tiled in 47mm x 47mm charcoal mosaics, giving it an ethereal dark look, which is complemented by bluestone paving. “This property is on an elevated,…

The setting for this family pool is both special and unique, offering rural views of lush, rolling Victorian hills. With an amazing backdrop to their property, the homeowners wanted their pool to be visually striking, as well as a focal point of the home and a centre for entertaining and enjoyment for their children as they grow. Presented with a simple flat site, East Coast Swimming Pools’ owner and principal Colin Sloggett had to create a pool that would blend with the residence. “The house has architecturally designed, straight, clean lines and is rectangular in essence, so the pool was designed to reflect that,” he says. The 9m-long rectangular pool boasts a 400mm-wide ledge that runs the full length of the pool, and 4m-wide offset steps, with a bottom step…

What’s better than being able to enjoy year-round alfresco living alongside a gorgeous pool that sparkles day and night? “The brief was clear: embrace the architectural lines of the home and integrate this into the pool design,” says Brett Cantwell, one of the two directors at Form Pool Design, the Melbourne-based company that designed and built this stunning pool. Given the home has large floor-to-ceiling windows across the entire back of the ground floor, as well as expansive windows on the second storey, this pool can be seen from many rooms so needed to be spectacular. The 5m x 4.8m slimline pool is nestled into the space between the alfresco area and the back boundary — the best position for maximum sunlight exposure and visibility from the outdoor entertaining spaces.…

We all know natural stone has been used around the world for thousands of years. The many roads, buildings and monuments built with stone and still standing today are proof that this material will never date. With the rise in popularity of natural products such as travertine, granite and bluestone for paving, there is now also demand for good-quality pool coping. However, not just any product can be laid around a pool, especially a salt-chlorinated pool. Both granite and travertine, when sealed, have been proven over time to provide better resistance against salt attack compared to man-made products. Understandably, a pool is a big investment and most people have a budget they need to adhere to, which can affect what products and features are used. Luckily, the cost difference between…

You’ve made the decision to install a pool on your property. Now you need to decide what type of pool to install. We know there are many considerations to take into account when deciding what type of pool you want, so we’ve tried to simplify things by putting together this guide to help you find the best option for your property, lifestyle, budget and time frame. ABOVE-GROUND POOLS Often chosen due to the quick turnaround between purchase and installation, an above-ground swimming pool can be installed within a day and used that night. As the name suggests, above-ground pools sit on top of the ground and don’t require land excavation. They are prefabricated, meaning they’re built offsite and delivered to your property complete. Above-ground pools can be either vinyl-lined or…

With electricity prices on the rise, the costs associated with running a swimming pool are also moving in an upward trajectory. However, there are now many innovations in the pool industry that allow pool owners to operate their pools on significantly less energy. Pool ownership doesn’t necessarily have to be costly. 1. One of the easiest ways to save energy and reduce costs is to replace an ageing single-speed pool pump with a multi-speed (or variable-speed) pump, which is more energy efficient and designed to reduce both electricity consumption and running costs. 2. The hydraulics of your pool also contribute to energy usage. As a general rule of thumb, the most efficient pool plumbing usually has larger-diameter pipes with as few bends as possible. 3. Replace your pool’s halogen lights…

Swimming pool covers used to be as simple as a piece of plastic stretched across the surface of the water to keep leaves, dirt and other debris from being blown into the water. But as technology has advanced, pool covers have also improved. Today, not only do they form a barrier to debris, they also save you money by preventing evaporation and chemical loss as well as maintain water temperature. THE EVAPORATION CHALLENGE Evaporation is likely to be the biggest source of energy loss in your swimming pool. Approximately every millimetre of evaporation equates to 1L of water per square metre, resulting in a potential loss of thousands of litres of pool water per season. Installing a pool cover will significantly reduce evaporation, which will save you money on water…

Thanks to advances in technology, pool ownership is today easier, simpler and more cost-effective than ever before. From programmable cleaners, automatic lighting and heating, water features and swim jets to chemical dosers that automatically control the pH and pool water sanitisation and automated pool covers, there is an automatic device — or devices — to suit all needs. These devices can significantly cut the time you spend on maintenance while, as a bonus, they also reduce your energy and chemical use. Automation has now reached the level where you can connect all your pool devices to a central control and manage them according to your personal needs. And thanks to improvements in wireless connectivity, the range of remote controls has broadened, which increases the appeal of these systems. CHEMICAL DOSING…

A Total Concept Landscape Architects & Swimming Pool Designers was engaged by the owners of this property to design and then manage this integrated pool, boat shed and garden — a small space that belies the complexity of the project’s construction. “We undertook the designs, obtained building approval, provided detailed specifications for all aspects of the project and recommended and organised the pool builder and landscape contractor,” recalls Shaun Wright, senior designer of A Total Concept Landscape Architects & Swimming Pool Designers. “We then undertook the management of the project’s construction for our clients.” Being on the waterfront, the home only had access by inclinator, so the pool was excavated by hand and small machinery used, which had to be delivered by barge. More than 50m³ of spoil, including an…

This impressive pool is reminiscent of the opulent baths of the Roman Empire. Everything about it oozes elegance, from the clean structured lines to the luxurious daybeds and strong pillars. The pool was designed by the homeowner in conjunction with Michael Suttor Architects and built by Pride Pools. Its generous proportions and balanced design create a unique space that resonates with a feeling of grandeur. The pool is fully tiled with pink tiles, giving it a very subtle and soft blue hue. A wide internal step leads to an expansive leisure ledge, which continues down the length of the pool. Although reminiscent of another era due to its classic styling, the pool is packed with 21st-century technology. A PCC 2000 in-floor cleaning system is programmed for every contour, while an…

Avalon, in Sydney’s stunning and super-relaxed northern beaches locale, is home for this retired couple who love the outdoors and entertaining and wanted to be at one with their surroundings. Naturally, their wish was for their new pool to have minimal impact on its environment. For their steep, sloping, subtropical site, they opted for a contemporary, triangular-shaped pool that integrates into its treetop environment in a harmonious nature. And the result, despite its challenges, is nothing short of incredible. “The pool was in a landslip zone with poor access and required extensive engineering,” explains Nick McCarthy, owner of Urban Escape, a company that specialises in highly integrated pools that sit harmoniously within the existing landscape. The out-of-the-ordinary shape also required unique construction techniques. “The triangle shape and 12m wet edge…

This inviting entertaining zone is designed with the whole family in mind and has plenty of space for everyone. Kiama Landscapes & Pools engaged Cycas Landscape Design to create a design concept that was true to the clients’ vision. Kiama Landscapes & Pools then brought the concept to life, building the pool, landscaping the space and constructing an outdoor pavilion with polished concrete flooring. The pavilion has a cantilevered area with recessed LED lighting underneath it, creating a glamourous floating effect. “Despite their limited footprint, with a great design and correct proportions, we fit everything in,” explains Tim Sprague from Kiama Landscapes & Pools. “We built an outdoor room and landscaped the entire area, showcasing the pool with a lush tropical backdrop. We worked with our clients’ vision, the design,…

Any young family knows the endless fun and enjoyment that can be derived from a swimming pool but with the constant demands of work, school and extra-curricular commitments, pool maintenance and upkeep can suffer. A case in point is this family in Melbourne’s Park Orchards, working parents with children aged from five to 13, who wanted a pool and spa to add to their property. “Their brief was for functionality — they wanted their new pool and spa to be as usable as possible, with the least amount of maintenance,” explains John Negri, co-owner of Minke Avant-Garde, who designed the family’s geometric, rectangular pool in consultation with homeowners Daniel and Nicola. The couple incorporated a host of imaginative features into the 9m-long design, including a 2m x 2.05m spa, a…

Vibrant blue in colour and nestled in the sundrenched corner of this Bundoora backyard, this pool is just what the owners were looking for when they began their quest to find the perfect pool to suit their lifestyle and backyard. They chose the 6.3m x 3.3m Lozza design because of its clean lines and functional size. It’s also big enough for many people to swim and play in without overpowering the backyard. The pool is rectangular from the surface, but underneath the waterline it features a curved step area in one corner of the pool and a curved seat area in the other, with a ledge joining the two. This ledge is perfect for kids to play on or for adults to walk along when they just want to get…

The pump is the heart of your swimming pool’s filtration system; without it, your pool would lose its sparkle and soon turn green. Choosing the right pump for your pool will ensure you experience fewer problems and more efficient energy use and lower running costs — not to mention better pool water clarity. Whether you’re after a pump for a new pool or a replacement pump for an existing pool, there is a range of energy-efficient models from which to choose. Many incorporate the latest technology to deliver the right combination of performance and energy savings. WHAT TYPE OF PUMP? The first step in choosing such a pump is to determine the volume of your pool. Match the figure to a pump that will, ideally, pump all the water in…

An automatic pool cleaner removes a great deal of debris from the floor and walls of your pool. There are four kinds of automatic pool cleaners on the Australian market: suction, robotic, in-floor and pressure cleaners. But how do you know which one will be right for your pool? We’ve asked Waterco for a rundown of the features, pros and cons of each type. SUCTION Suction cleaners are some of the most popular on the market. They are fixed to the pool’s skimmer and operate on the suction created by the pool’s pump, acting like an underwater vacuum cleaner. They are also attached to your pool’s filter system, as they need to deposit leaves and larger debris in the skimmer box, and the finer sediment is trapped in the pool’s…

The health hazards associated with early 20thcentury swimming pools without modern forms of sanitation are well documented. Simply replacing dirty water — the common solution back in the day — did nothing to halt the formation and growth of algae and harmful bacteria. The obvious need for more effective pool sanitation methods led directly to the development of the first chemical form of sanitation, chlorine/bromine. Variations of this basic solution are still in use today as chlorine remains the most popular solution for reducing the levels of microorganisms and pathogens (including bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoans and algae) in pools. However, for many years, pool owners and users have complained about conditions such as asthma, eczema and eye irritations that can be triggered by chlorine. Today, the focus of the swimming…

Water is a valuable resource, particular in Australia where the ravages of drought and flooding are common. It behoves pool owners to consider water use carefully and do everything possible to reduce water waste. When it comes to residential pools, there is a lot we can do to save water. 1. Make frequent use of your pool cover as this will reduce water loss due to evaporation. 2. Take time out to search for and repair leaks in either the pool equipment or the pool’s structure as even the smallest of leaks can represent a substantial waste. 3. Fountains and waterfalls might be aesthetically pleasing, but the effect of aeration loses a significant amount of water to evaporation. Switch them off when it’s not necessary to have them on, or…

With more than 1.2 million Australians owning a pool and council laws across the nation requiring many property owners to have a pool fence — even if retrospectively installed — the balance between legal compliance and great landscape design is becoming increasingly difficult to strike. With this in mind, here are my top tips for installing a pool fence without ruining the look and feel of your outdoor space. THE KEY IS IN COLLABORATION One of the best ways to ensure you get the fence installation right is to get a landscape designer involved from the start of the process to ensure that proper design considerations are factored into the installation plan. A landscape designer is going to look at things from a different angle and can help you explore…
