Our pools

Vogue Series

The Vogue series of swimming pools is a slimline design that’s perfect for smaller spaces, like those found in many tight Russell Lea backyards. For those looking to keep a low profile and not have to dig deeply into their lot, Vogue is perfect. Our three choices for the Vogue Series are all rectangular, offering flexibility in where they can be placed relative to your backyard design and entry and exit point requirements.

Vogue Harmony is the largest in the series, measuring 7.4m x 2.9m with a depth of between 1.1 and 1.85m, making it the perfect fibreglass inground pool for those with kids who are competent swimmers. The slightly smaller Allure measures 5.4m x 2.9m and the smallest pool, Serenity, measures 4.4m x 2.9m: these are perfect options for those with box-shaped lots.

The Vogue series all feature side-entry steps on both sides of the pool with an extended second step for seating. The Vogue series comes in eleven different colours and is made right here in Australia with the highest-quality fibreglass pool materials. Our pool builders and pool installation teams will work with you to create the Vogue Series backyard pool of your dreams. It’s as easy as a click of a button to get started.

Contemporary Series

The Contemporary Series is the pick if you want a modern-looking pool with room to move. Five designs make up the range, all of them at least 4m wide: the Bellino at 6.9m, the Imperial at 7.4m, the Castello at 7.9m, the Grandeur at 8.65m and the Amalfi at 9.4m.

The shape is deliberately simple, with clean geometric lines that sit well against a newer home. Wide entry steps give you a way in at both the shallow and the deep end, and there is a corner swim-out at the deep end for sitting rather than swimming.

Depths reach 2m in the Amalfi, so it suits a family where one person swims laps and the next just wants to cool off. Every design comes in eleven colours that can be matched to the house or the garden, and we are proud to bring our made-in-Australia pools to residents of Russell Lea.

Moonlight

Inspired by the white-ish silvery glow of the moon as it shimmers off the water, our Moonlight colour offering is a subtle blue tone that lends itself well to greenery-rich backyards with darker wooden accents. Moonlight blends perfectly with pools of any size and is a great option for those who may be surrounded by the looming concrete jungle of the Central Business District.

Whether your pool is large or small, Moonlight’s subtle blue colouration is the perfect combination for our Delta Blue offering. Alternatively, if contrasting styles are your thing, pair Moonlight with our Twilight or Sky Blue colour. However, we generally advise customers that their backyard pool and spa water should be the same colour.

Moonlight is one of the most popular of our eleven different colours that your backyard swimming pool could be. Whilst we think it’s pretty awesome as a colour choice for darker shades, it may also work well with those with bright white or grey concrete around the pool. However, an established green space is a must as a backdrop for Moonlight. If moonlight isn’t the right colour for you, don’t worry – our 12 fibreglass pool designs are available in 11 different colour schemes so there’s plenty to choose from.

Seaforth Pool Installation

We offer our designs in a range of styles and sizes, and we have also patented a specialist coating to ensure your pool can withstand the elements. It protects against the harsh rays of the sun, weathering, and colour loss. Think of it as suntan lotion for your swimming pool.

Get in touch with the Aquify Pools Seaforth team to book your consultation and begin your journey to transforming your backyard into a paradise.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a pool cost

The cost of a pool is determined by a number of factors such as the size of the pool, the type of ground you are on, what type of access you have to your backyard and what options you would like to go with your pool. Options for your pool such as a separate spa, pool heating, a water feature, can be included but will add to the cost.

Aquify’s range of pools are typically priced between $45k – $65k. This price generally includes excavation of your site, assisting with planning and approvals, the craning of your pool, concreting for the pool coping and installation of the plumbing with all equipment to run the pool. Landscaping, tipping, approvals and permanent fencing we can assist with but are not included. Domain Article on Pool pricing

How much does it cost to build a pool in 2022-2023?

A shortage of trades, an increase in freight charges and the rising price of all the materials that go together to create a backyard water-hole AKA a beautiful new swimming pool have combined to add around 20 per cent to the cost of a swimming pool in comparison to the last 5 years. However with the increased cost of having a swimming pool installed, we have also seen the increased value to properties that have a swimming pool. For every dollar you spend on having a swimming pool installed, you should see $2 – $3 dollars in value to your property come back at the point of sale or valuation. www.domain.com.au

Is a Fibreglass or Concrete pool better suited for me?

The answer is could be either depending on your property and what is most important to you, if you are unsure get an onsite appraisal done for both and see which you feel is better suited to your family. Some key points a lot of families make their decision based on are listed below:

Design: Concrete pools can be made to any shape, or depth so if you had a very specific design or even an unusually shaped yard that would be difficult to fit a more typical shaped pool then concrete will give you that flexibility. Fibreglass pools come in set shapes and sizes but there are a lot of amazing designs to choose from and you also get the advantage to look at completed images of the exact pool you are considering.

Surface: Fibreglass pools have a smooth interior so your family doesn’t need to worry about getting cuts or scratches as can happen in a concrete pool (plaster, tile aggregate) especially important if you have active kids who have softer skin. The smooth surface of Fibreglass has other advantages the non-porous surface also makes fibreglass pools a lot easier to clean, less expensive to maintain as there are less costs for pool chemicals.

Install Time: The time needed for a fibreglass pool can be installed in 1-2 weeks with the whole process from the initial site consultation to plan approvals and installations being approximately 1-3 months. With a concrete pool, this process can take anywhere between 3-6 months with your outdoor space being a construction site and unusable for a longer amount of time. With a fibreglass pool you can be enjoying the pool a lot quicker with less disruption to your yard, pets and family.

Do we provide finance options?

Yes, we are partnered with Handypay who offer our customers flexible payment options which means you’re able to plan your pool project now and pay later. When we provide a proposal it will display what the weekly payment would be if you chose to use finance.

You can also click the link to find out if you are eligible for finance with Handypay in just a few minutes (it’s obligation free too!): https://app.handypay.com.au/portal/register-get-started/AquifyPools

How long does the process take?

The first step is an onsite consultation with one of our consultants who will discuss your pool project, your site requirements and develop a proposal. Once you are ready to proceed, the next step is to get plans drawn and approvals in place (we assist you with this too). Your installation date is then set and the pool site is excavated, your pool is craned in and the plumbing and concreting around the pool is completed. Our Service Manager then guides you through owning and maintaining your pool with a one-on-one handover demonstration. This entire process takes approx. 1 month – 3 months. From then on, it’s the finishing touches like fencing, paving and landscaping.

How to choose the right builder

Choosing the right pool builder is an important decision. There are a number of factors you should be considering when making the decision with who to trust with your pool project, including:

Experience: How long have they been installing pools for? If a builder seems good but their company or the builder has only had a licence for few years you need to factor in a possibly higher level of risk dealing with a newer unestablished builder. You can easily check this by putting the builders licence details in the following link. At Aquify Pools we have been installing pools for 16 years with over 2000 pool installs in Sydney alone. Aquify Pools company licence is: 205571C.

https://www.onegov.nsw.gov.au/publicregister/#/publicregister/search/Trades

Active in the area: Is the builder you are considering active in your area, if a builder is active and successful in your area this will demonstrate they understand the local councils and other things specific to your area and be able to build to a high level of quality and service that people in your area are happy with.

Home Warranty Insurance: Does your pool builder take out home warranty insurance for their installations. This protects consumers in case the builder you engage goes out of business or is unable to complete work on your project during the warranty period. It can be difficult to obtain this insurance so a lot of builders will not take this out for their clients leaving the client vulnerable if things ever were to go wrong. , Aquify Pools believes having HWI or Home Warranty Insurance is a must and takes this insurance out on every job as it gives our clients superior peace of mind on their investment.

Quality of pools – Some questions to consider:

Who makes the pool and what warranty does it come with?

Are they reputable, and have they been around a long time outsourced or in-house?

Do you know who will be the trades used in your pool project?

How long has the person working on your pool been in the industry?

How many pools have they installed?

Using outsourced trades can leave you unsure of who is actually working on your site, who is liable for what works completed on your job and what their specific experience is. Having an in-house team gives you peace of mind that the trades on site are experienced, qualified and are following the correct procedures for a pool installation in line with Australian Standards and OHS regulations. When you chose Aquify Pools you have only one company you need to speak with from start to finish and we take it one step further and provide you with not only an in-house team but also your own Project Manager who will coordinate all the works to be done in a timely, professional manner and to our professional company standard.

Lead time: Make sure your builder confirms when they would be able to do your project. Many builders can get easily backlogged with work not being able to complete your project as they are at the mercy of contracted trades. Although a builder may be able to start your project in a certain month, its also good to know an estimated completion date so you are not left with a job half done and there is transparency on your project from start to finish.

A fibre glass pool can be installed on pretty much any type of site including sloping. There are many solutions to assist with installing a pool in a sloping yard, whether it requires a retaining wall(s), a site cut or extra soil to be moved around, our pool consultants can advise on the best options for your site and we have many solutions available

What if my property has narrow access?

We pride ourselves on being the tricky site experts and have a lot of tools available to deal with restricted or narrow access. Do you only have enough room to walk down the side of you home? Or maybe you have no access down the side of your home and can only access your backyard through your home. Regardless of how small, seemingly impossible, tight or restricted you feel your site is, chances are we can install a pool for you. Options can include various types of cranes, micro diggers, hand digs, helicopter (yes you read correct we have done helicopter installs) and we even deliver and install pools on the sea by barge! If you want a pool, ask us how it is possible, you’ll be surprised!

It’s not every day that you get to deliver and install a swimming pool from the sea! Check out the video on how our in-house team managed this unordinary install plus more of our recent installs on our YouTube channel.

What if I have rock under the ground?

We have a variety of tools we use to detect rock if needed such as rock probes, geotechnical reports, soil testing and VENIM reports. Our excavation team have vast experience in working with all types of rock and soils in all areas of NSW including sandstone (most common), iron stone, hard shale along with other types of top soils including clay and sand. Often what is underground is hard to determine until digging begins, and our team are equipped with machinery onsite to deal with all types of rock including hydraulic rock breakers and rock saws to break down and excavate rock if required.
