High quality fibreglass pool

When you choose Compass Pools you will get a truly first class fibreglass pool. Our pools are manufactured in a humidity-controlled factory to the highest standards. This ensures that your pool will be long-lasting and very cost effective compared to choosing a cheaper, inferior quality product. Additionally, our pools can be heated to a higher temperature than other models, which often have a limit of 30 degrees before the pool starts to blister.

Some pool manufacturers also have designs where the gelcoat will be in contact with water which means that the pool will become discoloured by the chlorine. We offer a more carefully designed product to provide a better lifespan.

A fantastic project for your home

If you have always wanted your own pool, building one as a DIY project can be an extremely satisfying endeavour. It is not a simple task and will take planning and forethought, but our team would be happy to provide you with guidance and information to ensure that the whole of the build runs smoothly.

Depending on how confident you feel about building your own pool, you can choose to contact one of our Compass engineers to provide help with the project. It is possible to hire for a day, a week or for as long as you need to complete the pool.

Installation Process

01
/

Choose pool shell

The most important part, come down to the showroom and choose your pool!
02
/

Excavate hole

The first step in the install process is to mark out on the ground the size of the pool and the finished level, you will mark out an overdig to allow for backfill, you will then excavate to the depth of the pool plus room for backfill along with a trench for the services to the plant room.
03
/

Lay base

Once the hole is dug, you will then order in a lorry of micro concrete / stabalised sand / screed mix to lay the base of the pool in the bottom of the hole. Its a good idea to hire in a laser from a hire shop to enable you to get this spot on.
04
/

Lift pool into hole

The pool will be delivered on an articulated lorry, you should hire in a telehandler or excavator large enough to lift the pool from the lorry into the hole, if sufficient access is not available (2.5m) then a local crane company will be able to lift the pool into position. This pool itself being made of composite is extremely light for its size. Once in the hole you can fine tune the level and position using a laser
05
/

Run pipework

The pool will be pre plumbed with all its fittings into the shell, you will be supplied with 25m rolls of flexible pipework that need running in the trench you dug earlier. There are 3 fittings on the pool shell to glue the pipe to (glue supplied). You can then backfill the pipes with builders sand to protect them.
06
/

Attach filtration

The filtration system will either come as a pre plumbed box, or as component parts to be fitted into a shed or outbuilding. Its your option. The 3 pipes from the pool and lighting cables will be attached to this. We can hire a pressure testing kit to you to ensure you did everything correctly. Alternatively hire one of our engineers.
07
/

Backfill

Once the pool is all plumbed up its now time to backfill the pool with screed mix, this is done by machine, barrow or pump. Its a 1-2 day job carefully packing all the crevices to ensure you have a strong shell.
08
/

Fill with water

Its now ready to put the hose in, 1-3 days depending on your water pressure and you will be ready to power up.
09
/

Enjoy

Now its full of water, its just a case of powering up the filtration system, testing and you are away. Allow a few days to heat up depending on the heat source you have specified.

Other Costs

Delivery – Between £600 and £1800
Plant & Machinery to dig hole – £200 – £2500 (digger, dumper, crane or telehander if required)
Soil Removal – £150-250 per lorry (unless you have somewhere to use it in the garden)
Backfill – Approx £50-£75 per tonne. Amount depends on accuracy of hole.

i procured a pool from compass on a new construction house we built. the house was considerably delayed, but compass were extremely good and accommodating the moving timelines. now the pool is in we are totally delighted with it, stunning aesthetic but also the kit is state of the art and all online via an app they really take the hassle out of up keeping a pool which i was dreading. re the resign of the pool, you are really left with the feeling they really know about pools and whats important. we were going to build one bespoke but we would never have thought of the little design touches that make is so user friendly. i rarely write reviews, but these guys really deserve it, rarely these days do you come across top notch suppliers that are also not too expensive. top service too, shout out to sheila, thank you..

Penny and Mike of Compass in Kent did a fantastic job - professional, experienced, confidence building (for first time pool owners!) and always on time/always doing exactly what they said they would from first meeting and good advice through to final installation, handover and explanations of maintaining the pool. dealt expertly with difficult access, a narrow lane, a big crane lift (with high winds) along the way. Thoroughly recommend them. Great product, great finish.

Compass pools have just installed our new pool, the service from them has been nothing short of fantastic from the beginning to the final handover. Nick has given us all the help we needed from the start and on site Ryan Nathan & team made the whole construction process enjoyable. We can highly recommend them.

Once decided upon a pool company I’m very pleased we went with Waterstream and the Compass pool. Their whole end to end process was so straightforward for such a dramatic change. No sales push. Dedicated representative thorough out the process. The on-site team were efficient, no nonsense get the job done - but all friendly and very professional. Couldn’t be happier with the final result. Pool looks great - went with the light Pearl finish which looks stunning against the green backdrop of the garden. The plant room is compact and easy to navigate and we love the way it’s all hidden away (behind the hedge) and quiet! The integrated cover completes the look and helps heat the water. With the plethora of companies out there, choosing the right one is paramount and we’ve not been disappointed.

Penny and Mike from Waterstream installed our Compass Pool. From the moment I first met Penny to discuss installing a pool to their handover on completion they gave the best service. The quality of the product is excellent and Penny and Mike are so professional and their work is of the highest standards. Commissioning a pool can be quite a daunting process but throughout the process they were always there to put your mind at rest and the end result is perfect. Thanks again and highly recommended to anyone thinking of having a pool!

Made a potentially difficult job simple and enjoyable. The team at Compass completed the installation professionally and promptly. They were always quick to reply to any queries we had and had a depth of experience to call upon. The end result is a high quality pool installation that speaks for itself. Anyone daunted by the prospect of a project of this size should speak to the team - it is actually quite simple and they have a tried and tested formula that works.
