Frequently Asked Questions

The time required for pool construction depends on factors like weather, pool size, and whether a spa or special features are included. Typically, a standard pool without a spa or additional features takes about 6 weeks from excavation to plastering and filling. Our specialized crews handle each construction phase, ensuring a seamless transition between stages with no significant delays. Our goal is to deliver high-quality construction as efficiently as possible.

To choose the right pool builder, conduct thorough research and request references. Opt for builders with many years in business, as their longevity demonstrates reliability through economic fluctuations. Visit their office to meet the team, as these are the individuals you’ll entrust with your investment to ensure a high-quality pool. Inquire about their warranties, including the structural warranty’s duration and coverage, as well as their process for handling warranty issues. Choose a builder capable of performing in-house repairs on pool equipment, which ensures faster service without relying on external manufacturers or unfamiliar technicians.

A well-designed in-ground pool can increase a home’s value by about 5–7% in the state’s pool-friendly market, particularly in warm, family-focused areas.

Well-maintained, modern pools with features like energy-efficient equipment or automation (e.g., Pentair systems) are more likely to add value. Outdated or poorly maintained pools may not yield the same benefit.

Aquarius Pools recommends  around 450 square feet as a solid starting point, offering ample space for swimming and play. However, if the family desires additional features like lounging areas or more room for activities, consider sizing up to 500–600 square feet to better suit their needs and enhance enjoyment.

Child safety is our top priority. Based on your home and yard layout, there are several features to consider like door alarms, window locks, safety fencing, and surveillance cameras to ensure your child’s safety around the pool.
