Now we have our resort. We have been enjoying our self-cleaning Compass Contemporary pool and SPA and would highly recommend the compass team and its products. For anyone looking at a pool it is vital to do your planning and the sales team at Compass have the patience to work through this with you. We changed our mind on the type of pool and design 4 or 5 times before signing the contract. Things to think about are the placement of the pool / SPA considering landscaping, fencing and aesthetics, where to place the filter equipment, and I would recommend that you have this on a plan before the install as there are electrical / earthing connections and council requirements for pump covers enclosures that need to be checked out. The self-cleaning comes at a cost but with the Viron connect the pool and spa virtually looks after itself and we can manage it on our iPhone. We have solar electricity and this keeps the running and heating costs very reasonable.
We now have a resort feel at home and would not hesitate to recommend the compass pools and their teams from the beginning to the end. It is a big job but a very enjoyable investment.

Forty years and two husbands later…. I finally have a pool that I’ve always wanted! Our pool was installed in November 2019 and finally finished landscaping etc in February 2020, and it looks great. Our grandkids ranging from 9 months to 14 years loved coming over to swim in it. Initially we were not going to get the self clean system but by visiting the display centre at Tomago on several occasions, we were really impressed how clean the pools were, so hence self cleaning we chose and do not regret it one bit. There are a lot of extra cost involved other than the Compass contract, so be aware. We cannot fault the service right from the start with office staff, salespersons and all of the trades people recommended by Compass Pools that resulted in our beautiful pool. Regards Shirley & Greg.

Backyard Oasis. We cannot complement the whole team at Compass pools highly enough. The initial meetings with Russ and a great design concept from Paul through to all the team. Troy ‘s guys on the installation , Martys landscaping crew and Fred from Compass showing us how easy the self cleaning pool runs. Special thanks to Paul for overseeing it all and answering all our questions and calming us down when we were stressing. 5 star customer service from all the team. After contemplating this for a few years we knew Compass was the company for us when at our first meeting we were given a realistic cost for the whole concept we were planning – no hidden cost, great solutions and advice on how to make it more than just a pool.

The kids have been in the pool almost every night, two hours tonight! I even got in on Saturday! We are so lucky to have some swimming time before winter, thanks so much for the great job you did. Love the Vantage cleaning system, it is brilliant!

We wish to express our gratitude to Compass Pools. The professional manner and camaraderie amongst your team from selection and digging through to tilling and completion was fantastic. Stu, your relaxed, efficient, happy manner and huge knowledge are an asset and the advice you gave us with pool landscaping was much appreciated – we went blank!

Again, your patience when teaching us about the chemicals was great. You are a fantastic team that made a complicated, expensive process very easy and enjoyable! We are thrilled with our pool. Many thanks to you all. Roll on summer!

We brought our pool in 2007 and over this time we have never cleaned our pool manually. As we live on a farm we get large amounts of grass and debris when there are North West winds. All we do is turn our Vantage Self Cleaning system on for longer. We wouldn’t even know how to clean our pool manually.

We have had our Compass Pool for 7 years now and we love it. Consistent water quality and extremely low maintenance make operating our pool a dream. The Vantage Self-cleaning system is amazing and is a must for every Compass Pool. After sales support has been faultless and I would highly recommend Compass Pools to anyone considering investing in a swimming pool.

I first started talking to Jan and Stu at Compass in Nov 2009 about getting a new pool. We were very impressed by the product and its features. We particularly liked the fact that there is no ‘building’ of a pool on site, it comes ready to go.The team at Compass was great, and they really do have a fantastic product. What we like in particular is how we could spec our pool so it is fully automated, which means very limited cleaning for us, the pool monitors all its chlorine needs and it adjusts pH by itself. So the favourite feature for us is not having to clean and maintain it all the time.

“We first spoke with Stu and Jan from Compass Pools when we were thinking of landscaping concepts for our rural property. After tossing a few ideas around, we decided to go ahead with a pool. Dealing with Compass Pools has been very good, when we had some subcontractor woes, they really went the extra mile and took charge and responsibility of everything associated with their pools. They try very hard to do the best they can for themselves and their customers. Their customer care is really up there, they worked through the earthquake to get the pool in and that was no easy job!The end result is excellent. The Australian pool has an outstanding construction, of course coming from a country where home pools are commonplace, you’d think they’d know their stuff, and they do. The construction is excellent, well thought-out and the easy care maintenance is definitely a bonus. At the end of the day, what we really love about our pool is the luxury of having a pool at your front door – especially over the hot summer we’re having.”

When looking around for a swimming pool we chose a Compass Pool because of the self cleaning system (Vantage) and due to the structure and materials of the pool (being a pre-moulded ceramic composite pool). We live in a high water table area and heard that people had problems with other pool types. Our pool was installed in time for Summer 2009 and ourselves and our children have thoroughly enjoyed it.We found both Jan and Stu very easy to deal with. The employees of Compass Pools were very professional and pleasant. The whole experience of choosing, installing and now utilising the pool has been an all round positive experience. Even though it’s winter, with the in-pool lighting and gorgeous colour we are able to light it up on these cold nights and visually enjoy its beauty. We have no regrets on installing a Compass Pool.

It is always a pleasure to deal with a company such as Compass Pools NZ who are excited and extremely confident about the product they are selling. They offered a wealth of information regarding the various options available without the pressure of any sales pitch. We are convinced that our Compass Pool is the best product available on the market today and are confident our young family will have many more years of problem free enjoyment.

I would highly recommend Stuart and his team to anyone considering the purchase of a good quality in ground pool.

“Just a small message to let you both know that we loved our pool last summer and can’t wait for this summer to arrive! The best part about Compass Pools is the ONGOING service that you provide….I am one of those annoying clients that always wants chemical advice and you are always happy to return a call and make sure that we get the right advice. When you live in an isolated area like we do that kind of service is invaluable! As you know we have already recommended you to our friends. I happen to know that the Allred family from Methven are also thrilled with their Compass Pool that you put in. Well done!”

Hi Stuart and Jan

I thought I’d flick you this note to thank you for the fantastic work you did on our pool installation. The Compass pool looks great and the process in dealing with Compass Christchurch was superb. You and your team made the whole process seamless and always kept us up to date with progress. The instruction on the use and operation of the pool was invaluable as was the advice you gave us around heating, covers and maintenance.

As I mentioned the pool looks superb and really sets off our back yard, the kids have hardly been out of it. I would happily recommend you to anyone considering a pool, the service you provided easily exceeded our expectations. Thanks once again.

We have completed our third summer with our Compass Pool and I just wanted to drop you both a wee note to say a big THANK YOU.

When we first looked at getting a pool for our home I was very nervous about it all because I knew that I would probably be the one to look after it but I need not have worried. The best thing about my Compass Pool is that it virtually looks after its self. Stuart, I know you carefully taught me about chemical testing but I have found it much easier to just drop some water into the pool centre in town a couple of times over summer and once over winter and have it analysed for me.

As far as the cleaning of the pool goes, it has been just amazing. Over the time we have had it, I have only had to vacuum it twice and that was because there were stones down the deep end that I couldn’t reach by diving. I have found as long as I am diligent with keeping the filters clean (ten mins to do) and backwash it regularly, then the pool simply looks after itself.

Its funny Stuart, you told me what it would be like to have the Compass Pool over other pools on the market but you were very easy to deal with and there is always a ‘niggle’ in the back of your mind that maybe the ‘sales spiel’ is bolstered a bit, BUT I think that in some respects you under estimated how perfect your pool is for us as a family. My daughter has recently bought a house close-by and she has a pool as well which is not unfortunately, a Compass Pool, and she is forever cleaning it, stressing out about the chemicals she needs and because it is not a salt water pool like ours she is finding the chemicals are costing her much more than she anticipated. This is sad for her Stuart, but it really has shown me just how wise we were to listen to you, neither Lea or I have had any regrets putting in one of your pools.

Once again, thank you, not just for the pool but also for the peace of mind knowing that you both are just a phone call away if I need to ask any questions or need advice.

It is great to have you based in Christchurch now and Lea and I wish you both the very best for the future.

I bet I don’t need to tell you how much we enjoy the pool every single day I’m sure. The whole family loves it and we spend so much time in it that it’s almost hard to believe. The kids are going to be hard-core swimmers! Melody, the 3 year old, swims lengths already and begs us to jump in several times a day. It looks as good as ever, the water is beautifully clear (and we never have to clean it, thanks to the Vantage system). As far as Christmas presents go, this one won’t be beaten! The pool is just amazing and we are delighted to have chosen the Fast Lane, it suits us just perfectly. Your professionalism is second to none and we’d be happy to recommend you to anyone who considers installing a pool.

It survived the quakes – thanks to the pool’s design and installation.

Hi Jan and Stuart, We have had our Pool in for 6 years now and it has performed perfectly all our family have enjoyed coming to our home on many different occasions and the Compass Pool has been a big hit with them all.

I must say that the vantage self-cleaning system has kept the water as clear as crystal and we never have to vacuum the pool by hand. I feel that it was money well spent (worth every penny)! Thank you both for your service over the years.

What a fabulous summer we have had and have enjoyed every minute in our beautiful pool. We both just love it and have had so many good comments from friends. I have attached some photos for you to show other customers that are thinking of the Ice Blue – we love the colour. Everything is running smoothly with the pool and it is so easy to maintain.

Hi Stu, Jan Team, Thank you all for the help I received in installing my pool and for all the helpful information – a bit daunting at the beginning when I knew I had to look after it on my own. I have had the pool for 3 years and I am still blown away with how easy it is to care for my Compass Pool, the Vantage cleaning system really is the best thing around.

My family and I are looking forward to another great summer.
