Frequently Asked QuestionsPacific Pools Auckland
At Pacific Pools we know building or renovating a swimming pool is a big decision. To help you plan with confidence, we've answered the most common questions our customers ask.
How much does it cost to build a pool in Auckland?
The cost depends on the type of pool, size, site access and finishes. A concrete pool is fully customisable and usually more expensive, while fibreglass pools are generally faster and more cost-effective to install. We provide free consultations and quotes so you know exactly what to expect.
What is the difference between concrete and fibreglass pools?
Concrete pools offer complete design freedom — any shape, size or finish is possible, making them ideal for luxury or complex projects. Fibreglass pools are pre-moulded, quicker to install, easy to maintain and available in a variety of styles. Both options are durable, long-lasting and designed to suit different budgets and lifestyles.
How long does it take to build a swimming pool?
On average, a fibreglass pool can be installed within a few weeks, while a concrete pool may take several months depending on complexity, site preparation and council consents. During your consultation we'll provide a clear timeline tailored to your project.
Do you handle pool consents and compliance?
Yes. Pacific Pools manages the entire process, including site planning, council consents and engineering requirements. We ensure your pool meets New Zealand safety and building standards.
How do I maintain a pool after it's built?
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the surfaces, checking filters, testing pH levels and ensuring pumps are working correctly. We supply filtration systems, covers, heat pumps and treatment products to keep your water clean and safe. Our team can also recommend the best long-term care plan for your pool.
Can you renovate an old or damaged pool?
Yes. We specialise in pool repairs and renovations, from resurfacing interiors to replacing tiles, fixing cracks and upgrading equipment. Renovations can also include new features like waterfalls, LED lighting or eco-friendly filtration systems.
Do infinity pools require special care?
Infinity pools are maintained much like traditional pools. The difference is the catchment basin, which requires regular cleaning and correct water balance. Our team will guide you on the best approach to keep your infinity pool running smoothly.
What pool finishes can I choose from?
We offer a wide range of finishes including tiles, coping stones, pebbles, Quartzon and marble plaster. Each option has unique benefits in durability, appearance and maintenance. Our consultants will help you choose the right finish to suit your home and budget.
Do you build commercial and resort pools?
Yes. Pacific Pools has built pools for hotels, schools, resorts and public facilities throughout Auckland, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands. We have the expertise to deliver large-scale projects that meet strict safety and design requirements.
