"Larsen’s Pool and Spa did an excellent job restoring our 20,000 gallon swimming pool. From the initial contact to the finishing touches, Larsen’s performed expertly in every phase. Erik Larsen, John Martin and the entire Larsen’s team is very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Communication is excellent and follow through is spot-on. I highly recommend Larsen’s for pool restoration. It is refreshing to do business with superior people who perform superior, expert service. Thanks to the entire team at Larsen’s for a great job and a great experience. Dexter & Nancy Glenn Tampa, Florida"

"Hollywood Pools built a very difficult custom pool with a lot of features. This pool required a lot of engineering and cooperation with the building department. Ron was key to working all this difficult construction to get our dream pool built the way we wanted despite the complexity of the build.. They kept their word and timing on the project. And any questions or concerns even today I can count on their support. I would use them 100% again."

"I’m writing this review because this company did not do a good job, they did a GREAT job. Today it seems most companies just want to do the minimal to get by, well that's not the case with Tropical Pools. They did the best resurfacing on our existing pool that money can buy and they were very reasonable with their price. Not only did they do the job as per our contact. But each day they cleaned up the area around our pool deck and made contact with me as to what they have done and what they plan to do next. Keeping us updated gave me and my wife piece of mind. That in itself is priceless! The job was completed within the time frame that was stated in our contract and at the price quoted. What more can I say? If you are looking for an excellent pool company that has ethics and morals look no further than Tropical Pools of Central Florida."

"I hired PCS Pools to build a new pool and spa with an outdoor kitchen and patio area with a fire table. They did an amazing job! Its so beautiful and we love spending time out there and having pool parties! I received cheaper quotes but these guys were worth the extra money given the beauty of the design and quality construction."

"This company gave us great flexibility. We had our own tiles that we wanted to use for the waterline under the coping. They had no problem with us doing that, did the installation and took special care of the tiles as they are Premium Green ONYX, which has a tendency to break easily until installed. Additionally, they always responded to my questions quickly, regardless of the day, time, or question. I call that "ABOVE AND BEYOND". IRONICALLY, THERE WERE 4 COMPANIES THAT WE CONTACTED REGARDING OUR JOB. I ma STILL waiting to hear from 2 of them, AND THE OTHER took too long to respond. GREAT JOB ARTISTIC, AND THANK YOU JAMIE, CHRIS (THE EXCELLENT TILE GUY), AND CHRIS from the Home Office. Mark K. in Palm Harbor, FL."

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.
