Artesian Pools

New Concrete Pool Design & Construction
Artesian Pools can construct a pool specific to your needs and lifestyle. Concrete pools give you the flexibility to design your own style, including colours, finishes, coping, water features, heating, cleaning and sanitation.

Your pool should be built to function, complement your surroundings and reflect your lifestyle. The design is a very important part of the decision to construct a pool.

Concrete pools also have the capability to meet the requirements of any building site.

Pool shapes can be individually designed to suit any area, including awkward angles, tight spaces, or sloping sites.

There is no practical limit to producing a swimming pool shape or design.

We have a reputation for building pools that nobody else wants to build, working with complex designs and difficult sites.

Pool Renovations
You may have an existing pool that is unusable or just needs a makeover. A pool renovation can enhance the look and appeal of your pool and transform your entire outdoor area.

Renovations can be relatively minor, or you may want to redesign the shape of your pool, add a spa or water feature or change the interior surface of the pool.

A renovation can make a tired old pool appear brand-new. Updating  new equipment such as pumps, cleaners & lighting can save on energy costs, simplify maintenance and change your pool from chlorine to salt or mineral.

We can also coordinate fencing and landscaping for an entire makeover.

Pool Repairs & Resurfacing

Artesian pools specialise in the repair of structural problems, restoration of concrete cancer, rust, and repairs to tiles. We can also repair and replace paving and decking around pool areas, and replace damaged pipe work and pool equipment.

Over time your existing pool surface may have become worn or faded, tiling may come loose, or surfaces crack and disintegrate. Artesian Pools can re-surface your pool with a range of new interiors to transform the look of your pool.

There are now a lot of new products and finishes available including pebble with glass or beadcrete available in almost any colour that may not have been around when your pool was first built.

We specialise in fully tiled pools using quality adhesives and grouts specifically designed for underwater that come with a ten-year manufacturer's warranty. Tiling allows you to showcase your pool using features such as borders, artwork, and waterline tiles. There are endless types of tiles available in different sizes, colours and finishes.

Our standards are the highest and we have over 25 years of experience building and renovating swimming pools.

Step by Step Guide to Building Your Pool

1. Free Quotation
Contact our office to arrange a visit from our builder to personally discuss your requirements offer advice and prepare a no obligation free quotation.

2. Planning and Approvals
If you decide to proceed, we can then assist with planning and council approvals. Home Owner Warranty Insurance and a contract are drawn up. The final design details are checked, including coping, equipment, pool interior and optional accessories in preparation for the construction of your pool.

3. Construction
The first part of the construction is the excavation, once the excavation is completed the reinforced steel is installed. The pre-plumbing and any pre-electrical work are completed before an inspection by the council or certifier, then the spraying of concrete is the final step of construction. You should then allow three to four weeks for curing of the concrete.

4. Coping Fencing & Surrounds
The coping and the pool surrounds are installed next. There are many styles of coping including stone, paving, tiles or decking. Artesian pools can also coordinate your pool fencing, or the pool owner may arrange the installation of the fencing themselves. We can also arrange the landscaping, which can be carried out during the curing time.

5. Interior
The swimming pool interior is now installed. Different styles available include fully tiled, pebblecrete, beadcrete, fibreglass, rendering with tiling, and painted pools. We use quality Mapei and Laticrete materials for the installation of tiling and stone, which come with a ten-year warranty.

6. Completion
After the installation of your safety fence, your new pool is cleaned and acid washed. The pool is filled, and the chemicals, minerals or salt are added. The pool equipment including filters and pumps is started and we demonstrate how the equipment works.

7. Service after completion of your swimming pool
You can now enjoy your new swimming pool, knowing that you can always contact Artesian Pools for help or advice at any time. We also offer a regular pool maintenance service where we can look after everything for you.

Trouble Shooting – equipment repair, installation, upgrades and leaks.
We can repair or upgrade most swimming pool equipment and accessories, including pumps, filtration, heating, lighting, and cleaning equipment. We recommend the use of quality equipment that comes with a manufacturer’s warranty. We can replace outdated equipment with new more energy efficient equipment that will make pool maintenance easier, cheaper and less time-consuming.

We can convert your chlorinated pool to a saltwater pool, which is less expensive to run and easier to look after or alternatively, you can convert your existing pool to a MagnaPool. The MagnaPool system delivers a healthier and more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional salt or heavily chlorinated pools. It is therapeutic for the body and beneficial for health and wellbeing.

We also specialise in the repair of structural problems, restoration of concrete, rust spots, repairs to the waterline, step areas, and broken and damaged swimming pool tiles. We can also repair and replace paving and decking around pool areas, replace damaged pipe work and arrange leak detection to identify problems with older pools.

Pool Building

What approvals do I need before I build a pool?
The Swimming Pool Act 1992 requires that all swimming pools be approved by your local council. Artesian Pools will prepare all the documentation required for your signature, and then lodge it at the Council on your behalf.

How long will it take to complete my pool?
Normally a concrete swimming pool will take around ten to twelve weeks from start to finish, delays may result if bad weather is experienced.

Will water restrictions stop me from building a pool?
As part of the water restrictions now in place across Sydney, the Blue Mountains and Illawarra, you may need a permit from Sydney Water before filling your new or renovated pool if it holds more than 10,000 litres of water. To get your pool permit you will need to show that you are committed to long-term water savings. Details can be found on the Sydney Water Pool Fact Sheet. Just click on the link below:

Can I have any shape or style that I want?
Yes, you can have any shape or style of the concrete swimming pool. Concrete pools give you the flexibility to design a pool to suit any backyard, including small or awkward spaces, and steep and sloping blocks. Concrete pools can also be designed for indoor areas, or combine the indoors with the outdoor area. They can also include special features such as wet edges, beach areas and spas.

What type of finish can I have?
The type and colour of internal finishes available for concrete pools are extensive. Finishes include Pebblecrete, Beadcrete, Rendering and Tiling. Interiors are available in a rainbow of colours, from subtle hues to blend in with the water and surrounds to vibrant pebbles with glass or coloured tiles for something really different and individual.

How much will a swimming pool cost?
The cost of a concrete swimming pool can vary greatly depending on size, style and location. Artesian Pools do not offer a standard range of prices but prefers to personally discuss your requirements, and offer you different options to suit your budget.

Pool MaintenanceHow often do I need to service my pool?
The frequency is dependent on the pool size, pool location (e.g. if it is surrounded by trees with falling leaves), the pool usage and the season of the year. Pools generally need to be serviced more regularly in summer than winter.

Is saltwater better than chlorine?
Salt-water chlorination makes your pool much easier to maintain, needing much less attention than a chlorine pool.  Salt-water pools generally cost less than half that of a chlorine pool.

What causes the pool to go green?
– Incorrect amount of chlorine
– Insufficient circulation / insufficient running hours
– Insufficient salt in salt water pools
– Black spot or algae which uses up chlorine very quickly
– The chlorinator needs cleaning or repairing
