Question 10

A hydrostatic valve is crucial for managing groundwater pressure on your pool shell, especially after heavy rainfall. It prevents the pool from being displaced or damaged by excess groundwater pressure, making it an essential component for all in-ground pools.

What additional costs should I anticipate beyond the price of the pool?

Accepted Answer

Additional costs may include transport and traffic management, crane hire, earthworks/backfill, equipment upgrades, custom finishings, and pool filling. These costs are site and project-specific. A detailed list of inclusions is provided on each pool's page.
