About Us
Pool Builders of Excellence Since 1980
South Pacific Pools is an Adelaide based and owned company with a long and respected standing in South Australia as a design and construct pool contractor for both government and private sectors.
Our Story
Over 40 Years of Award-Winning Pool Construction
For over 40 years, South Pacific Pools has designed and been contracted to complete over two thousand Residential and Commercial pools. Our engineers have been designing domestic and commercial pools in South Australia, and we construct Hydrotherapy and Residential Pools, and major Commercial Pools in South Australia, Northern Territory and Western Australia — all to Australian and Royal Life Saving Standards.
Our hydraulic designs in conjunction with our engineers provide filtration flow rates and chemical treatment outcomes well within local authorities' guidelines. Final hand over and quality inspection of all commercial and domestic pools and equipment is managed and supervised by South Pacific Pools specialists.
The same team is used from the design process, chemical treatment, equipment used, steel works, concrete spray, tilers and plumbers. This ensures we maintain consistency and quality throughout the project.
Years of constructing award-winning pools across Australia
