This is the third pool we have built with CL Pools. Daniel as always was very helpful with everything. Whilst we had a few hickups (not by Daniel but by our choice of tiles), and which can pop up with any type of build, Daniel sorted it professionally, without issue and the end result was our third beautiful new pool by CL Pools. Highly recommend CL Pools for value and quality.

Our building experience with CL Pools was excellent. We had the advantage of building on acreage so there was plenty of space. Daniel helped us with the design for our area and budget and even made sure the extra bench seat was the right height for the odd evening beverage. Once the pool was approved, the building process took less than 6 weeks. We found Daniel to be responsive to our questions and wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
