Indoor Pools

Pools can be kept clean with a variety of different chemicals. Our specialists will be able to provide you with advice on the chemicals that we recommend depending on the circumstances of your swimming pool.

This can vary on a huge range of factors, including the work that you need to do on your property itself to prepare for the installation. The actual construction of the physical pool takes very little time as our one-piece pools are simply craned into a previously excavated hole, rather than having to go through the lengthy process of adding concrete and tiles.

It is important to put protections in place for children against falling into pools, both indoor and outdoor. Pool covers can be used indoors, although it is important to remember that no cover guarantees safety. It is also sensible to make the entrance to your indoor pool lockable so that young children cannot wander in unsupervised.

The first thing to note about having an indoor pool built is that it will typically be more expensive than an outdoor pool. This is naturally the case because you are effectively having to build a pool at the same time as building an extension to your house (or having serious remodelling work done on the property).

The final price can vary enormously, although we have created a useful guide to illustrate the kind of costs that would be involved. However, it varies on factors such as the size of the pool and how it is built.

The Swimming Pool and Allied Trades Association (SPATA) estimates that energy and chemical costs per day combined to around £7.50. Once again, however, this will depend enormously on the size of the pool, how much you use it, the temperature that you want it to be, and the season of the year.

There are ways that you can mitigate the running costs of your pool. For example, during the installation phase of the pool, you might wish to have a solar heating system installed to reduce the amount of energy you use to heat your pool.

In the majority of cases the answer to this question is ‘no’, as long as the building that you are going to house the pool within is freestanding. Since October 2008 outbuildings have been considered to be Permitted Development, and do not require planning permission (within specific terms and conditions).

However, in all cases whether you are having an extension built for your property or creating an outbuilding to house your pool, we would recommend speaking to your local council to establish whether you need to apply for specific permission.

Once again, this relates to the specifics of the pool and where it going to be housed.

Yes! Just as with an outdoor pool you can have an indoor pool heated to a temperature of your choosing. This is easy to setup during your installation and you can choose from a range of different options from a standard oil or gas heat pump to direct solar heating. Talk through the process with a member of our team and we can help you with details on which kind might be perfect for your home.

There are many advantages of indoor pools. Firstly, unlike outdoor pools, indoor pools can be used all year round, and in any weather. They are typically also easier to heat and easier to keep clean than outdoor pools.

In traditional home swimming pools it is possible for algae to grow and this includes both outdoor and indoor constructions. However, Compass Pools have a number of features that help to prevent the growth of algae. Compass Pools are created in one piece using ceramic composite which is impermeable to bacteria. If you are concerned about getting algae in your pool, please speak to us about having a one-piece ceramic pool installed.

The size of your indoor pool is completely down to you. It can depend on a large range of factors including the amount of space you have to work with as well as your budget. Remember that you do not necessarily need to have a built pool constructed. For many homeowners, a simple plunge pool is all that they are really looking for, and this gets as much use as a larger pool would.

At Compass Pools, our ceramic composite pools are prefabricated to order and are available in a range of styles and sizes. You needn’t worry about having a limited choice – we have 9 different models available in 27 sizes, including plunge pools and lap pools. We also offer a large selection of options to customise your swimming pool, including a range of features such as down lighting, waterfalls, deck jets and more.

Yes, we offer a large variety of pool customisation options including a selection of colours as well as features such as an down lighting, waterfalls and much more.

The size and shape of your swimming pool can be selected to fit the dimensions of the space you are working with. If you are interested in swimming laps but are limited on space, there are options available utilising water jets. These allow you to swim against a constant current, so you can enjoy lengthy swimming sessions even in a relatively small pool.

To complete a successful indoor pool project, it is important to work with a swimming pool designer, an interior designer and an architect. Having professional expertise in all of these areas helps to ensure that your installation runs smoothly.

Yes, Compass Pools are especially easy to clean as they are a smooth, continuous surface, unlike a tiled pool. Additionally, the ceramic composite is impermeable and therefore toxins and dirt cannot enter the water through osmosis.

Indoor pools typically require less maintenance than outdoor pools. This is in part due to the fact that there is less detritus that can get into the pool indoors. Most pools require only a few minutes of chemical maintenance each week, checking over the water to ensure that the levels of chemical is correct.
