Long Ownership and Very Mature Gardens

These two suburbs have some of the longest average tenure in East Auckland, and that shows in the gardens. Planting that went in when the pool was built forty years ago is now fully grown and, in a lot of cases, directly over the water. Trees set at a sensible distance in 1980 are not at a sensible distance now.

The result is a heavy and continuous organic load rather than a defined autumn drop, and root systems that have worked their way under coping and paving. Persistent algae in these suburbs is almost always a phosphate problem driven by that organic load rather than a sanitiser problem, which is why adding more chlorine rarely fixes it for long.

Long ownership also means a lot of these pools have never been renovated. Original interiors from the late 1970s and 1980s are common, and the shells are usually sound enough to be well worth resurfacing.

Sunnyhills sits higher with better outlooks, Farm Cove drops towards the estuary with more sheltered, low lying sections.

What we commonly see in Farm Cove and Sunnyhills:

  • Mature planting now directly overhanging pools
  • Phosphate driven algae that chlorine alone will not fix
  • Root movement lifting coping and paving
  • Original interiors never yet resurfaced
  • Sound older shells worth renovating rather than replacing

Sparkling Pools has worked on pools across Auckland, including residential renovation projects, equipment upgrades, ongoing maintenance and pool care for managed properties. Past projects show how the right approach can improve presentation, water quality and day-to-day usability.

Full pool and spa renovation in St Mary's Bay, Auckland, including Quartzon Galaxy interior resurfacing, new tiles and copings, lighting, heat pump installation, and filtration relocation.
In November 2011, my partner and I purchased a property with a swimming pool and spa. Having never previously owned a property with pool facilities, we relied on Grant, Julia and the rest of the team at Sparkling Pools to bring us up to speed with what was required to keep the pool in order. Combined with this, some pool equipment components had been neglected by previous owners; Grant made time to come and carry out a complimentary inspection of the pool, from a holistic perspective, and to give us detailed feedback on what improvements (heating, filtration equipment, covers etc) we could make, over time, bearing our budget in mind. The pool and spa are now looked after on a regular basis by Sparkling Pools on a specific customised maintenance plan. Denis (our dedicated valet man) comes on time, on the same week-day each time, and he does a great job maintaining the pool. We love the team from Sparkling Pools and we love the service we get from them. The pool and spa always look and feel fantastic, and looking after them is one job we just never have to worry about!

A full interior renovation of a large, elegant older pool on a beautiful Kohimarama property, including new Quartzon plaster, waterline tiles, copings, and LED lighting upgrades.
Our older pool was looking incredibly worn and really needed a complete refresh to match the character of our heritage property here in New Zealand. The team completely transformed the space. The new Santorini blue plaster and updated waterline tiles breathed completely new life into the area without losing its original elegance. The upgrade to modern LED lighting means the pool looks absolutely stunning in the evenings, creating a perfect atmosphere for entertaining. The entire process was incredibly professional, and the final result perfectly complements our home.

This project comprised all the classic elements of a comprehensive pool renovation; interior resurfacing, including some engineering adjustments; renovation of tile-work; full equipment upgrades and installations; and subsequent ongoing pool maintenance contract.
Last winter, Sparkling Pools undertook the renovation of our swimming pool. Sparkling Pools did a terrific job and we were delighted with the results. SPL’s performance throughout the project was very professional. Senior management constantly checked the work at different stages and they maintained excellent communication with us throughout. We are happy to commend Sparkling Pools to other Auckland pool-owners who might be considering pool interior renovations or equipment upgrades, particularly noting their reliability, their professionalism and the obvious pride they take in their work and their products. Subsequent to the pool renovations, SPL has continued to look after our pool on a regular basis and we are very happy to have them do so. With SPL looking after our pool, it is now one aspect of property care I never have to worry about.
