We get it—you want to know exactly what you’re paying for, and it’s frustrating when quotes are vague. That’s why our quotes are clear and detailed, covering everything from the pool itself to essential components like water features, pumps, filters, and even the water to fill your pool. We also handle council consent fees and provide an estimate for soil removal.
We understand that it’s just as important to know what’s not covered, so you’re not hit with unexpected exclusions. While our quote includes all the essential components for your pool installation, we don’t include electrical work or fencing because these can vary greatly based on your specific needs. This approach gives you the flexibility to choose what works best for your space. Not sure if you need a fence? check out New Zeland fencing regulations.
We understand that making a large upfront payment can be daunting. That’s why we only require a small deposit to get started. This deposit covers the cost of the council consent application, which is valid for two years. This means there’s no pressure to rush through the project—you can take your time planning around other home projects. As we progress through the installation, payments will be scheduled according to the milestones we reach, giving you flexibility and peace of mind.

This allows you to focus on the exciting parts of planning your new pool, knowing that all the legal requirements are being taken care of. Starting the consent process early is a smart move, as it allows you to plan your project at your own pace.
We understand that landscaping is a significant part of your pool area, and you might wonder why it’s not included in our services. We believe that once the pool and fencing are installed, you’ll have a clearer vision of how you want to landscape the area. By allowing you to see the completed pool space first, you can make better decisions about the landscaping that will perfectly complement your new pool. We can recommend trusted landscapers if you need assistance once the pool is in place.
At Principal Pools, we understand that investing in a pool is a big decision, and you want to ensure it’s built to last. That’s why we partner with Leisure Pools, an industry leader in fiberglass pool technology. Their patented innovations and stringent quality control processes ensure that your pool is not just an addition to your home but a lifetime investment in enjoyment and peace of mind.
We understand that durability is one of your top concerns when investing in a pool. You’re likely worried about how well it will stand up to the test of time. Leisure Pools uses their patented Composite Armour™ technology, which is reinforced with DuPont™ Kevlar®, Carbon Fiber, and Basalt Fiber. These materials are the same ones used in bulletproof vests and military vehicles, providing exceptional strength and durability. This means your pool is built to last, giving you confidence in your investment for years to come. For more details, visit our Technology page.

We understand that you’re concerned about the quality of materials, and you don’t want a subpar product.

The result is a pool that not only looks stunning but also withstands the harshest environmental conditions.
We know that sustainability is a growing concern, and you might be wondering if fiberglass is an eco-friendly choice. Leisure Pools’ manufacturing process not only produces durable pools that require fewer chemicals and less maintenance over time, but also uses Vinyl Ester Resin, which is less likely to degrade, reducing the need for repairs and replacements. This makes fiberglass pools a more sustainable option over their lifetime.

From our carefully planned logistics to our expert handling, we make sure your pool arrives safely and on time, so you can move forward with confidence.

We know that you want everything to be perfect, and you might be concerned about the pool being installed exactly as you envisioned. Throughout the installation, we involve you in the process by asking you to check off specific stages.
