"We had an outstanding experience with Chris and his team. They removed an old waterfall feature from our fiberglass pool that was constructed around 20 years ago. They removed existing brick coping and ceramic tile, and we replaced the coping with concrete coping, and added new glass tile. They also installed a new light (old one never worked for us) and a salt system. Chris listened carefully to our needs and delivered exactly what we were hoping for!! It looks new and we can’t wait for the warm weather to return!"

"Joe is Shark Pools. He has eons of experience about anything to do with pools and especially pool liners. So as a new pool owner, Joe has been gracious in tutoring this novice on what to do and the why to ensure the best life out of my pool liner and pool experience in general. His work is superb and pricing more than fair. Joe is old school, meaning he does what he promises and exceeds all expectations. My wife and I not only got a wonderful pool renovation, but gained a life-long friend in the process."

"We were extremely happy with Superior pools from their customer service to the execution and building of our pool. Anytime we had a question or issue the response time from Superior pools was excellent. I would highly recommend them. We had a small issue with our pool lights prior to our daughter's engagement party out by our pool. After we called them and told them they came out right away and fixed the problem. Our experience with them has been wonderful and continues to be!"

"Very professional. Was able to complete the job same day as estimate provided. Would highly recommend Wilson Plumbing and Pool."
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.
