64 | Pool awards galore Ultimate Pools was again a major winner at the 2022 SPASA NZ Awards of Excellence. from page 62 POOL INDUSTRY Ultimate Pools Ultimate Pools has grown rapidly in five years to a team of 26 staff. Rainbow says since Covid, more Kiwis have been looking at ways to bring the resort feel to their own backyards. She says as the first New Zealand pool builder to be Climate Care Certified, and the only one in the Auckland North area to offer the Vantage self-cleaning and circulation system, and the innovative Maxi Rib system for sloping sites, Ultimate Pools has been able to secure a healthy share of the market. “From customers who want a multiple award-winning firm to provide them with a straight-forward solution and verifiable water and energy savings while avoiding the seemingly endless task of keeping their water clean, balanced, healthy, and safe to swim in.” After taking out the awards for New Zealand Pool of the Year, Business of the Year, and Best Fibreglass Pool Builder at the 2021 SPASA New Zealand Awards of Excellence, Ultimate Pools was a major winner at the competition again in 2022, bringing home multiple awards including Best Fibreglass Pool Builder, Gold awards for Sustainable Project, Fibreglass Lap Pool, and Fibreglass Pool and Spa Combination, and more. Multiple Ultimate Pools team members took home individual awards including the Acknowledgement of Industry Service award, the Pool Designer award, the Construction Tradesperson award, and the Operational Excellence award. “We are a great company with a great team,” Rainbow says. “This is one of the really important things about our company for Warren and Steve. Warren always says ‘he tangata, he tangata, he tangata - it’s the people, the people, the people.” Ultimate Pools believes in sustainable pool and spa ownership and has partnered with Climate Care Certified to offer a range of products that promote responsible and environmentally-friendly pool and spa ownership. Climate Care Certified is a programme that aims to create a new standard of sustainability and efficiency for products, systems, and installations within homes and businesses. Climate Care Certified products, systems, and installations must demonstrate excellence in water efficiency and sustainability, energy efficiency, noise reduction, environmentally sustainable design, and other innovative measures that promote efficiency or sustainability. These measures combined help to reduce the environmental impact of a home or business while also promoting cost-effective and efficient operation. The Climate Care Certified package offered by Ultimate Pools is the first of any swimming pool building company in New Zealand after satisfying these stringent requirements. “Our Climate Care Certified option is a completely environmentally friendly package,” Rainbow says. “It provides our customers with the ability to purchase a pool with confidence, knowing their pool delivers verifiable water and energy savings that have been certified by the peak industry body.” The Maxi Rib system is a unique technology, for sloping sites and above-ground fibreglass pools, only available with Compass Pools. A rib-like structure is used to provide the necessary support to enable the pool to be installed above ground on a concrete platform, or on prepared natural ground, allowing sloping or difficult sites and beautiful infinity pools to be easily be catered for. “Installing swimming pools on sloping sites can be fraught with difficulty and added engineering costs,” Rainbow says. “The invention of Maxi Rib has meant Compass Pools can offer a relatively straightforward solution. Because Maxi Rib pools have been installed on many different sites, we know exactly what to do to make your pool project simple to manage and cost effective.” The Vantage in-floor cleaning and circulation system is another great example of Ultimate Pools’ belief in being at the forefront of development in the industry and being leaders in the field. Developed in the US\A especially for Compass Pools, the Vantage in-floor cleaning and circulation system is a unique water circulation system designed to reduce chemical usage, eliminate cold spots, and keep pools clean of debris without the need for regular hand vacuuming or any other cleaning equipment. Unlike traditional skimmer systems which push water across the top of the pool and into a skimmer, through a filter, and into a pump to return it back into the pool, the Vantage system uses in-floor nozzles to push water around the pool in a circular motion to ensure all the water is constantly moving. “Where a skimmer system will circulate the top third of the pool over and over again, the Vantage system circulates water from the top of the pool to the bottom, allowing an even spread of warm water and chemicals throughout the pool. “The best benefit of the Vantage system is the pool cleans itself, and all the pool owner has to do is empty their leaf baskets.” The next exciting stage of Ultimate Pools’ development is the 11,000sqm site at Dairy Flat which will be home to a new display and development centre by the end of this year. Here, product developers, suppliers of pool equipment, and associated trades across New Zealand and Australia have the opportunity to display their solutions alongside an operational Ultimate Pool. “We provide the best swimming pools in New Zealand, and we want to make sure our clients can get the best quality equipment installed with their pool.” SCAN ME! www.profitnz.com 021 022 10664 Lane@profitnz.com Enhance the view of your pool with frameless glass balustrade.
