Creating a haven for peace and tranquillity, this pool fits perfectly into the beautiful garden. The fully tiled pool and concrete spa with its unique hand cut copings compliments and, at the same time, enhances its surroundings.
Is it a spa or is it a fountain? It’s both! The telescopic fountain adds to the enjoyment of this spa – when not in operation, the fountain retracts flush with the bottom in its own housing and does not protrude. When the spa is not in use, with the simple press of a button the spa transforms into a glorious poolside fountain/water feature.
Covered in glory
Certikin’s market leading safety cover, the Coverstar was high on the owner’s shopping list. Not only for its safety credentials but because the pool is designed for all year round use and the Coverstar is first class in its heat retaining qualities – it can save up to 70 per cent on heating and chemical costs.
Composite decking at the far end of the pool conceals the pit for the Coverstar. The cover simply operates with the push of a switch with the system being based on strength and this is echoed in the super-strong Eclipse mechanism, which is manufactured with almost all stainless-steel components. The sliders (traditionally the weakest part of any safety cover) are four times as strong as any other slider used in the industry. Furthermore, the pulley diameter is 2”, providing five times the load bearing capacity of commonly used pulleys. Such is the manufacturer’s confidence in the product that the cover’s mechanism comes with a 20-year limited warranty. Unlike other safety cover suppliers which use an industry standard vinyl, Coverstar features a far superior vinyl composite, in a range of colours. Whereas most safety cover suppliers use sewn webbing, (which often proves to be the weak area and results in premature failure), the manufacturer has invented and patented the heat-sealed process, which prolongs the life of the cover and improves the overall operation. This is colour matched to the Coverstar fabric to provide an aesthetically pleasing finish.
A step-up!

The Certikin 1.7” ladders are manufactured to comply wuth the Domestic Pool Standard EN16582-1:2015 Built using 316 grade stainless steel, they are supplied with stainless steel anti-slip treads as standard, as well as the Certikin pinch anchors which give a sturdy, secure installation on all types of pool surround.
