Swimming pool services, from new builds to repairs

Designer Pools is a complete swimming pool solutions company. Every service sits somewhere on the pool itself: the shell in the ground, the waterline, and the circuit that draws water through the weir to the pump and filter and sends it back through the return.

How a fibreglass pool goes in

A fibreglass pool installation by Designer Pools sets a pre-manufactured pool shell into your garden. These are the stages the work moves through, from the first dig to a pool that is ready to use.

  1. Excavation

    The ground is excavated to take the fibreglass pool shell.

  2. Positioning the shell

    The pre-manufactured shell is lowered in and positioned in the excavation.

  3. Plumbing

    Pipework is connected so the pool water can circulate.

  4. Backfilling and setup

    The space around the shell is backfilled and the pool is set up.

What your pool water is telling you

A quick look at the water says a lot before you ask Designer Pools for maintenance or a repair. This is general guidance to help you describe what you see, not a diagnosis.

Clear

You can see the floor of the pool clearly. Regular servicing of the water and equipment helps keep it that way.

Cloudy

Cloudy water often points to filtration that is not keeping up or water care that needs attention. Check that the pump is running and note when the filter was last cleaned.

Green

Green water usually means algae has taken hold. It is worth having the water and the pump and filter looked at together.

Is the level dropping?

Stand a bucket of water on the pool step so the water inside matches the pool level, and mark both. If the pool drops noticeably more than the bucket over a day, it is losing more than evaporation can explain. Note whether it happens with the pump off as well as on: that detail helps pinpoint a leak in the pool or its plumbing.

It also helps to know when the pool was last serviced.
