"Josh is very responsive and helpful. He helped us solve a problem and have advice for the future but also did not try to up sell us and let us know what was not needed. He replaced our pool pump and gave us options and pros & cons for each. We had a leak a week later and he came right out and fixed it (a pipe just needed to be tightened). I feel comfortable going to him with future concerns."

"The fellas at Aquaspace Pools and Spas did a great job on our pool. The pool needed some updated tile repair and our spa needed a complete tile replacement. We negotiated a price for the work, I paid 50% down to start and once the job was completed I paid the remaining 50%. Easy peasy lemon squeezy! The cost was fair and definitely in the ballpark as compared to other pool contractors."

Precision Service is just that; knowledgeable, dependable and fairly priced. Josh does exactly what he says he is going to do, which is a rare commodity these days."

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.
