The main types of swimming pools available include concrete (gunite) pools, fiberglass pools, vinyl liner pools, and above-ground pools. Concrete pools are highly customizable and durable, fiberglass pools are quick to install and low maintenance, vinyl liner pools are budget-friendly with customizable liners, and above-ground pools are affordable and portable.
When choosing a location for your swimming pool, consider factors such as sunlight exposure, wind patterns, privacy, proximity to the house, and available space. Ensure the chosen site has good drainage and is clear of utility lines. It’s also important to check local building regulations and obtain any necessary permits before installation.
The installation time for a swimming pool depends on the type of pool and the complexity of the project. Fiberglass pools can be installed in 1-2 weeks, while vinyl liner pools might take 2-4 weeks. Concrete pools typically take the longest, requiring 8-12 weeks for completion due to the need for curing and customization. Weather and site preparation can also impact the timeline.
The cost of installing a swimming pool varies based on the type, size, and additional features. Basic above-ground pools start at around R10,000 to R20,000, while vinyl liner pools can range from R100,000 to R200,000. Fiberglass pools typically cost between R70,000 and R150,000, and concrete pools start at around R200,000 and can exceed R500,000 for more elaborate designs. It's important to get multiple quotes and detailed cost breakdowns from contractors.

Good day, please can you send me a quote for a weekly maintenance plan. Also include whether there would be any extra charges for chemicals required etc. Also confirm that, apart from the Kreepy, does the company bring its own equipment, such as poles, nets and brushes etc? We employed a company at the beginning of December who said that, apart from a monthly maintenance fee (weekly maintenance), they would also have to quote a seperate once-off fee for (quote) "getting the pool to look right" before they could do weekly maintenance. However, nearly 6 weeks later, although the pool is blue, they have not made it clear, and we have at no stage been able to see the bottom of the pool. Can you please give me more than one quote.
Pool has been attempted to be fixed by multiple people. After a few months, I would lose water and we would discover a crack at the bottom of the pool on the shallow side. The people who fixed it previously then came back and advised me that my pool has a sink hole. So they dug up the pool and ever since then, they never came back. Pool has been left in that condition ever since.
