"There is absolutely no question that I'll be calling Black Diamond again with any of my spa needs. I contacted a different place here in Longmont and made the mistake of not reading the reviews first. A week later, without hearing back from the first place, I reached out to Black Diamond. Brian got back to me that evening and promised to squeeze me in the next day. He lived up to his promise and showed up that evening. He completed the repairs in a very timely manner and communicated throughout the entire process. If you need any sort of help with a pool or spa, I definitely recommend reaching out to Black Diamond!"

"Josh replaced my sand filter and pump. He came out on a Monday or Tuesday. We agreed on a price and he said he would order the parts. He started the job on Thurs and said we would be swimming by Saturday. The pool was actually ready a day early on Friday Josh and group are professional, polite and knowledgeable. They kept me informed throughout the install and after. I will be using Hydro Pool going forward. Thanks Josh!!"

"We met Carlos in 2009 when he was our designer at Sabella and did our original landscaping. Fast forward to 2026, and we found him at Brothers. His team did everything as promised, and they even did a bit more than asked (without charging extra!). That's when I knew they are customer focused. They put in erosion control to prevent sand into our rocks, concrete walkway, pavers, new trees. They did not gouge us on price. It was fair. And a 10 year warranty makes me feel comfortable he will support us if anything goes wrong! I would recommend Brothers and Carlos."

Most spool or cocktail pools take four to 12 weeks from breaking ground to the first swim, although timing varies depending on size, type, and site conditions. An above-ground, vinyl-lined model can be installed within three or four days once the kit arrives, whereas an in-ground spool adds excavation, plumbing, and inspection steps that extend the timeline. Because delivery alone can take a few weeks, lining up permits and any necessary digging or grading work during that window helps keep the project moving.
Cocktail pools are not intended for traditional swimming; they are built to deliver a cooling and relaxing experience. They provide an ideal setting for a refreshing dip rather than for exercise or lap swimming. The pool’s limited dimensions restrict vigorous activity and ensure safety, making it a perfect retreat for quick cool-downs and leisurely soaks in a compact, stylish design.
Spool pools have a depth of 38 to 42 inches, which is ideal for sitting, standing, and gentle dipping. This deliberate depth prioritizes safety and an inviting atmosphere while eliminating the possibility of diving or extended swimming. The measured design creates a secure and intimate space for relaxation, adding a refined touch to your outdoor area.
If you're handy and have experience with excavation, plumbing, and electrical work, consider installing your spool pool yourself. However, hiring a professional ensures the job is done safely and correctly. Pros have the expertise to handle all the technical details, giving you peace of mind and helping you avoid costly mistakes.
Maintaining a spool pool demands regular cleaning, precise chemical balancing, and thorough system inspections. Homeowners should allocate time monthly for filter cleaning and water quality checks, in addition to performing seasonal maintenance, to ensure optimal system performance. Ongoing maintenance preserves water clarity and operational efficiency, reduces repair costs, and extends the pool’s lifespan, creating a safe and enjoyable environment.
Popular upgrades include a brick-paver patio for slip-resistant footing, low-voltage lighting for evening swims, and code-compliant fencing to boost safety. Additionally, consider adding landscaping or a fire pit to transform the pool area into a year-round hangout. Each feature raises overall costs, but thoughtful add-ons improve usability, curb appeal, and, in many markets, resale value.
