Garden Swimming Pools

Types of Garden Swimming Pool

There is more choice than you might think when it comes to choosing your ideal garden pool, and it really comes down to what exactly it is you are looking for. Whether you are looking for a pool with cheaper maintenance costs, more of a luxury factor or one that is better suited to a smaller garden, we offer a selection of designs for you to choose between.

Outdoor pools are much easier to install that indoor swimming pools, but still require significant design and project management expertise in order to install correctly. Our outdoor pools have one major difference to a traditional garden swimming pool which is traditionally built using a concrete shell, by digging into the ground and then building the pool from scratch in the newly-dug hole. Our garden pools utilise a simpler and more effective system, where our unique patented carbon fibre ceramic composite shell, designed and developed in house, is lowered into a pre-dug hole fitting snuggly inside.

The unique shell our outdoor pools are made from provide an array of benefits over traditional concrete shells. Including faster installation and easier maintenance. We offer a 50-year warranty on each of our pools against leaks, so you can rest assured that your outdoor garden pool will last for a long, long time.

If you’ve ever swam in a lake or river while on holiday, natural pools are designed to offer the same kind of experience. These don’t require chemicals in order to run, and are much more of an eco-friendly alternative to traditional garden pools, since they cut down on the heating and running costs.

Natural pools work by using a combination of a specialist reed bed technology, which naturally filters the water, and a filtration system, which pumps oxygen molecules around the pool’s floor area. In doing so, this helps circulate the water, and moves debris into the filter system to prevent stagnant water building up. This, in turn, kills off any bacteria that enters the pool, keeping your water clean and safe to swim in.

Infinity garden pools provide a real slice of luxury to a garden. However, that luxury does unfortunately come at a cost, as infinity pools are typically the most expensive type of garden swimming pool. This is mainly due to the additional logistical complications they require for their installation and design; infinity pools feature a seamless blend between the edge of the pool and their surroundings, to make it appear as if they continue indefinitely into the landscape.

Due to their design, infinity pools are actually one of the most efficient types of garden pools you can have from a maintenance perspective. Rather than having to use a net to fish out dead leaves and insects from your pool, Compass Pool’s innovative overflow swimming pool design lets you sit back and relax.

If you have a smaller garden, a plunge pool could be the ideal alternative to one of the larger, more expensive options. We offer a range of different styles and sizes for you to choose between, all of which feature our unique patented carbon fibre ceramic composite shell. This shell has numerous advantages over traditional concrete pools – it is less prone to cracks, impermeable to bacteria and is easier to install. It can also save you money in terms of heating costs, as the shells are thinner, closer to the water and therefore able to heat water much more effectively.

If you’re worried that a plunge pool could be too small for you to go swimming in, don’t worry. We can install a swim jet, such as Fastlane by Endless Pools, to provide you with a constant stream of water that you can swim against without moving.
