Owning a swimming pool is a fantastic investment in lifestyle and leisure—but like any investment, it needs regular care to keep it in top shape. At Aquanort Pools, we often see pool owners facing avoidable repairs due to overlooked maintenance. Here are the top five things you can do to minimise issues and extend the life of your pool and its equipment:

As the temperatures drop and the days grow shorter, there’s no better time to invest in your comfort and wellbeing. A spa isn’t just a luxury—it’s a winter essential! At Aquanort Pools, we believe that owning a spa during the colder months can transform your lifestyle in more ways than one. Here are the top 5 reasons to own a spa this winter:

As the colder months approach, it's essential to prepare your spa for winter to ensure optimal performance, clean water, and longevity. A properly maintained spa will provide warm, relaxing soaks all winter long, while reducing the risk of costly damage or repairs. At Aquanort Pools, we recommend a five-step winter spa maintenance routine to keep your spa in top condition.

Owning a pool is a luxury, but keeping it clean and safe requires regular maintenance. Whether you're a new pool owner or a seasoned one, following a structured pool maintenance routine can save you time, money, and effort.

Investing in a swimming pool is an exciting decision, but it also comes with important considerations. At Aquanort Pools, we’ve helped homeowners in Nelson and Marlborough for over 60 years, guiding them through the pool-buying process to ensure they get the best value, quality, and experience.
