Australia is the largest consumer of pools per head of population worldwide, with approximately 6,000-6,500 pools installed in NSW every year. For them, a swimming pool “isn’t a luxury, it’s an integral part of the home” because it serves as a focal point for entertainment, exercise, architectural element, and visual aesthetics.

1. Swimming Pool Styles to Choose From
The Sydney Morning Herald’s Real Estate News reported Sydneysiders’ fascination with
swimming pools, despite being surrounded by beautiful beaches. For them, a swimming
pool “isn’t a luxury, it’s an integral part of the home” because it serves as a focal point for
entertainment, exercise, architectural element, and visual aesthetics. This is why pool
builders continually improve their manufacturing processes, materials and technology by
seeking effective and sustainable alternatives for motors and pumps, swimming pool paint,
filter methods, water systems, and pool maintenance equipment.
