A couple who had purchased a lodge at Motueka, that came with a pond, were surprised 4 years later when they got a visit from a council inspector who told them the pond had once been a swimming pool and needed a compliant barrier.  The couple said the pond, which had frogs, reeds and rocks in it, wasn’t a swimming pool but a pond.

Water Safety NZ is calling for portable pools under 1.2ms to be withdrawn from sale.  It agrees with the coroner's recommendation that temporary pools 1.2ms and higher need to have a gated entry.

As we head into summer its time to turn your attention to your swimming pool.  Most of you will think about filters, ph balance and water clarity etc.  It is also a good time to do a bit of regular maintenance.

We are an IQPI Company.  When we turn up to do an inspection of a pool most people tell us why they are using us as opposed to their Council.  There are lots of reasons and they are valid and passionately held.  So, I thought I would tell you what makes us different.
