substantial inground pool is a
welcoming sight all year round.
Created by Auckland Inground
Pools, the concrete pool features
an internal spa pool and advanced
pool technology for optimum energy
efficiency. The family-operated
business took care of the entire
project from the design stage to
installation. Auckland Inground Pools
also offers initial water balancing
along with a full handover kit.

No lifestyle home would be complete without
the sparkling invitation of a swimming pool.
Auckland Inground Pools constructed the
12m by 5m concrete pool with an internal 2.2m
by 2.2m spa that together provide a spectacular
outlook from most spaces in this home.
Director Kerry Richmond says the company
has worked with DCH on many projects, with
this being one of the largest.
“We were involved in this project from the
outset, starting with fine-tuning the plans and

the shell. DCH arranged supply of the tiles and
copings, which our team laid. Inground Pools
also supplied and installed the filtration plant.
“For this project, the Viron Pool Pump and
Hurlcon RX Series Filter with Glass Filtration
Media were selected. This high-spec filtration
equipment comes with an 8 Star energy rating,
which gives four-figure savings in energy costs
every year.”
Auckland Inground Pools installed the pool
lighting that brings the feature to life at night,
and also supplied the drop-in spa cover. This
helps to prevent heat loss through evaporation.
