"After interviewing and quoting with different companies I finally got all my questions and concerns answered by this company. Everyone would give me the run around and not even give me a direct answer or quote. I needed my pool re plastered but wanted a new design. Jorge was able to give me a few ideas/ designs and took care of re plastering my pool! I highly recommend Oasis Blu Pools!"

"Eddie and his crew was always prompt and efficient, and answered all my questions as the project progressed. The scope of the work increased as problems were found but Eddie had warned me that it could happen. Despite this, he worked hard to retain a modified schedule as quickly as possible. The pool looks great now, and I canâ t wait to swim in it."

"They went out of their way to complete in record time the pool resurfacing jobâ including retiling, fixing broken bricks in the patio adjacent to the pool and building a wall around the pool. The pool was completed in time for our successful 4th of July pool party. They were competent and reliable and did an excellent job troubleshooting. We especially appreciated their follow through and suggestions on our pool. Alex was extremely helpful. We also appreciate Jesus very much and we are grateful to their hard-working teams, who worked efficiently to complete our pool project in a timely manner. We also love the finished pool."

"These guys are the best! Michael did a beautiful installation of our new pool equipment. He is honest, and very knowledgeable in his profession. I knew I had made the right choice after meeting him and seeing his work. Trevor who has serviced our pool since then is also top notch! They genuinely take pride in providing the best service. I am so pleased with Poolfessionals and I highly recommend them!!"

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.
