Frequently Asked Questions
Can you install a pool in a small backyard?
Yes, many fibreglass pools are designed specifically for compact spaces. There are slimline and plunge pool options available that make excellent use of limited areas, especially in suburban yards. Installation will still require careful planning, including site access for machinery, but experienced pool builders can often find creative solutions to make it work. It’s also important to consider fencing, setbacks, and other local regulations when planning for smaller spaces.
What is the difference between saltwater and mineral pools?
Saltwater pools use a chlorinator to convert salt into chlorine, providing sanitisation with a softer feel compared to traditional chlorine dosing. Mineral pools also use a chlorinator but are dosed with minerals like magnesium or potassium, which can offer additional skin and hair benefits, and a more gentle swimming experience. Both options are low-maintenance and popular in Australian homes, with the choice depending largely on personal preference and budget.
How do I prepare my yard for a pool installation?
The first step is usually a site inspection by the pool installer to access, soil conditions, and layout. You don't need to do much beforehand, as most preparation is handled by the installer, including excavation, plumbing, and any required earthworks. However, you may want to relocate plants, structures, or services in the area where the pool will go. It’s also worth checking for underground utilities before work begins.
Do fibreglass pools fade over time?
Fibreglass pools are made with gelcoat finishes that are resistant to UV exposure, but like any outdoor surface, they can show signs of fading after many years of sun exposure. Quality fibreglass shells — like those from Tranquility Pools — are built to retain their colour and surface integrity for decades when properly maintained. Using a pool cover and maintaining balanced water chemistry can help extend the life of the finish.
