Why you should use a SPASA Member
Countrywide Pools are proud members of SPASA, but what does that mean and why should you choose a SPASA Member to build your pool?
Let’s start with what SPASA is - SPASA stands for The Swimming Pool and Spa Association Australia and they are the governing body for the pool industry. SPASA builders are the industry professionals, so when choosing a pool builder, you have peace of mind knowing that their service will be supported by a strict Code of Ethics and a commitment to deliver their goods and services at an industry standard.
Countrywide Pools are proud members of SPASA and adhere to the Code of Ethics set out by SPASA.
But what does this mean for you? Essentially it means you are dealing with a professional business you can trust. Below are just a few reasons why you should choose a SPASA member as your pool builder:
SPASA members must demonstrate their skills
For a pool builder to become a member of SPASA, they must demonstrate a history of successful, ethical and knowledgeable trading to ensure that their work is of the highest standard. This means only the best in business hold a membership and hold the highest levels of experience, reputation and professionalism in the industry.
Access to the latest regulations and standards
All members have access to the latest technical standards and consumer information regarding your pool build as well as training, meaning that it will line up with legal requirements and your pool will be built safely. SPASA members perform all work in accordance with the Australian Government Standards.
SPASA members care about their customer service
Another reason to choose a SPASA member to install your pool is that they voluntarily choose to become a member, as they are interested in advancing the swimming pool and spa industry. Members are on the front line of development and innovation, and SPASA prides itself on evolving the industry as a whole, providing a supportive culture for pool builders to do their best work. Look out for the SPASA logo when you’re seeking out someone to build your new pool or spa. If the business displays the logo, it means that they are fully supported by the association and therefore will be able to provide you with a premium service.
As members of SPASA, Countrywide Pools pride themselves in offering a total service. This begins with discussions about your needs, advice on the type of filter, water sanitizing, fencing, paving, heating, pump cleaning equipment, blankets, maintenance and much more. They will then obtain the necessary permits, undertake the complete construction, fill the pool and correctly balance the water in it.
SPASA Completion Guarantee and Contract
Unlike residential home construction, there is no government statutory insurance for residential swimming pools available in Western Australia. A major benefit for consumers who contract with a member of SPASA is that SPASA guarantee, in the unlikely event that your builder is unable to complete your pool, SPASA will arrange for it to be completed by another of its members (conditions apply). As proud members of SPASA, Countrywide Pools provide you with a completion guarantee as part of the contract process. Only SPASA members can issue you with a SPASA contract - the essential contract of the well informed consumer.
When your pool is completed, as a SPASA member, we will present you with a booklet containing useful information regarding the upkeep of your pool and equipment, together with a record of your pool and its specifications.
Annual Awards celebrating the best in the industry
The SPASA Awards of Excellence are the swimming pool and spa industry’s most prestigious awards, attracting entries from all over Australia and showcasing achievements in construction, design, manufacturing, supply, products, retail and service. The annual awards provide an opportunity for members to show their products in a spirit of friendly competition. There are categories to cover all types of installations and renovations.

Finally, it's worth remembering that a pool or spa is a major investment. You want it to go right. It should go right. It can go right. The most satisfactory way to protect your investment right from the start is to choose a SPASA member - it's the best assurance you can have.
