About NZ Swimming Pools
NZ Swimming Pools is an independent pool cost and compliance guide. It prices a pool line by line from published figures, checks a barrier against the Building Act and Building Code clause F9, and introduces you to a partner pool builder only if you ask it to. It does not build pools and it cannot certify a barrier.
Why this site exists
Two questions come up on every New Zealand pool search: how much does it cost? and do I need a fence? They are answered in completely different places. Cost pages do not cover fencing; councils cover fencing but not cost; builders put both behind a quote form. Nobody puts the installed price, the barrier rules and the 3-yearly inspection in one place with a tool you can run on your own fence.
That gap is the whole site.
What we are not
- Not a pool builder. A pool build is a licensed, warranted, $75,000 job. We do not do it and we never claim to.
- Not an inspector. Our fence checker is a self-check. Only your council or an independently qualified pool inspector can certify a barrier.
- Not a directory. An earlier version of this site listed twelve pool builders that did not exist. Those pages now return 410 Gone. We do not publish business listings, ratings or reviews.
- Not a lead seller. One builder, only with your consent, and we tell you they pay us.
How the content is made
Every figure and every rule on this site is read from a named source on a recorded date and quoted rather than paraphrased. Law comes from legislation.govt.nz. Costs come from published guides and installers, with the GST status their source states. Where a source was blocked or two councils disagreed, the claim was dropped and listed publicly on our editorial policy page.
Articles here are written and published by NZ Swimming Pools as an organisation. There is no personal byline, because the accountability sits with the business, not with a name on a page.
How we earn
A referral fee paid by a builder, and one day a margin on pool-care products. Nothing from you, ever. In full, including what we check before signing a builder.
