ADVANTAGES: Lower Chlorine Levels: Saltwater pools utilise a salt chlorinator or salt cell to generate chlorine, but the chlorine level is typically lower than in traditional chlorine pools. This results in softer water that is often gentler on the skin and eyes, providing a more comfortable swimming experience. Reduced Maintenance: With a saltwater pool, there's no need to add chlorine regularly, as the salt cell produces chlorine as needed. This can lead to fewer fluctuations in chlorine levels, simplifying pool maintenance and reducing the need for frequent chemical adjustments. Cost-Effectiveness: Despite higher upfront costs for installation, saltwater pools can be more cost-effective in the long run. You'll save money over time as there's no need to continuously purchase, transport, or store chlorine, resulting in lower ongoing maintenance expenses. Minimal Chemical Usage: Saltwater pools generally require fewer additional chemicals such as algaecides or shock treatments, contributing to a more environmentally friendly and sustainable pool environment. DISADVANTAGES: Higher Initial Cost: The installation of a saltwater system can be more expensive compared to traditional chlorine systems due to the need for a salt chlorinator or salt cell. Increased Electrical Consumption: Salt cells require electricity to convert salt into chlorine, leading to additional electrical costs over time. Salt Corrosion: The presence of salt in the pool water can cause corrosion on certain pool fixtures, equipment, or types of stone decking, potentially requiring costly repairs or replacements. Complexity: Maintaining optimal salt levels and ensuring the proper functioning of the salt cell can be challenging. If the salt cell malfunctions or if salt levels are not adequately maintained, there may be insufficient chlorine production, leading to potential pool problems such as algae growth or water quality issues. Regular monitoring and maintenance are essential to address these challenges and ensure the effective operation of a saltwater pool.

ADVANTAGES: Lower Initial Cost: Traditional chlorine pools generally have a lower upfront cost compared to saltwater systems, making them more budget-friendly for initial setup. Simplicity: Many pool professionals and owners are more familiar with maintaining chlorine pools, as they have been the standard for many years. This familiarity can make troubleshooting and maintenance tasks more straightforward. Fast-Acting: Chlorine has the ability to act quickly to resolve water problems, such as algae growth or bacterial contamination, providing rapid and effective water treatment. DISADVANTAGES: Regular Maintenance: Chlorine levels in traditional pools need to be checked and adjusted more frequently to maintain optimal water quality. This requires regular testing and chemical additions, increasing the ongoing maintenance workload. Cost of Chlorine: Over the lifespan of the pool, continual purchases of chlorine are necessary to maintain appropriate chlorine levels. The cost of chlorine can accumulate over time, contributing to higher long-term maintenance expenses. Potential for Irritation: Higher chlorine levels in traditional pools can cause skin, eye, and hair irritation for some individuals, especially those with sensitive skin or allergies. This can result in discomfort or allergic reactions for swimmers. Odour and Taste: Chlorine pools can sometimes have a distinctive smell and taste, which some people may find unpleasant or off-putting. This odour and taste can be particularly noticeable in indoor pools or pools with inadequate ventilation.

ADVANTAGES: Chemical-Free Swimming Experience: Natural pools use biological filters and aquatic plants to keep the water clean, eliminating the need for chlorine or salt. This provides a more eco-friendly and chemical-free swimming experience, which can be beneficial for individuals with sensitivities or allergies to pool chemicals. Blends Seamlessly with Environment: Natural pools blend harmoniously with their surroundings, resembling natural bodies of water like ponds or lakes. They enhance the aesthetic appeal of outdoor spaces and create a tranquil and inviting atmosphere for swimmers and spectators alike. Low Maintenance: Once established, natural pools typically require lower maintenance compared to traditional chlorine or saltwater pools. The self-regulating ecosystem helps to maintain water quality naturally, reducing the need for frequent chemical adjustments and cleaning. DISADVANTAGES: Initial Cost: The initial installation cost of a natural pool can be higher than that of traditional saltwater or chlorine pools. Building a natural pool requires specialized construction techniques and materials to create the ecosystem, which can increase upfront expenses. Limited Temperature Control: Natural pools rely on natural processes for temperature regulation, which may result in cooler water temperatures compared to heated saltwater or chlorine pools. Swimmers who prefer warmer water may find natural pools less comfortable, especially in colder climates or during cooler seasons. Potential for Algae Growth: Without chemical treatments like chlorine or salt, natural pools may be more prone to algae growth under certain conditions. Maintaining the balance of the ecosystem and water chemistry is essential to prevent algae blooms and maintain water clarity. Complex Design and Maintenance: Designing and maintaining a natural pool requires specialised knowledge and expertise in aquatic ecology and landscaping. Proper planning and ongoing management are necessary to ensure the health and stability of the ecosystem, which may involve periodic adjustments and interventions to address issues such as algae growth or water clarity.

Compass have just completed the six week installation of our pool in Surrey and have been nothing short of fantastic. Everyone we have come into contact with from Sheila, who helped us choose the perfect pool and kept in contact throught the entire sales and installation process, to Elliot who helped plan out the delivery and install (depsite some very narrow lanes) and John and his installation team who did an amazing job completing the project. Sheila also recommended Chris Howell at Eden Landscapes who worked perfectly as a landscaper they regulary work with to complete the patio and landscaping works. All in all Compass offer an amazing service and very streamlined process to provide you with a more efficient and eco-friendly pool to the traditional methods.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Penny, Mike and Scott did an awesome job installing our pool. January’s perhaps not the best time but they took the inevitable mud and frosty starts in their stride and within 2 weeks have us installed and ready for landscaping. We’re delighted with the result and pleased we went down the one piece ceramic route with its amazing finish and durability. Can’t recommend Penny, Mike and Scott enough given their ‘nothing is too much trouble’ attitude and very professional approach. Can’t wait for the warmer weather to enjoy it!  Thanks again team

Penny and Mike came to commission the pool and left it crystal clear and looking superb. Mike then came for the handover and gave me clear instructions and helped me understand the systems. Would highly recommend any time, just made the project so easy and seamless Thanks again

Compass installed my pool in Jersey in the Channel Islands in May 2021 and the whole process took just over 1 week from start to finish. The team led by Elliot also included Shane and Nathan. They worked long hours and did a thoroughly professional job. We are delighted with the finished product. Throughout the summer months we have only used the polycarbonate Rollo-Cover to heat the pool and have been achieving temperatures of 35 degrees C. Now in October we are using the air-source heat pump to keep a constant 33 degrees and it also performs very well. Alex did a great job assessing the access to our property as we live down a very narrow road. Nick in the office has been very helpful throughout. Finally Simon has been really good at sorting out a couple of minor post installation issues. Would recommend this company to anyone looking for a pool that uses the latest technology.

There is nothing better for the inexperienced (our first pool) than to engage the services of a very experienced pool manufacturer and installer. Our sales consultant Tracy, took time to walk us through the process, understand what we needed in terms of specification and budgets. Ordering a pool can be a daunting task, Compass gave us the confidence to “take the plunge” The installation was very enjoyable and fascinating, Alan and his team were so professional and skilled, they almost made the install look simple. The team took the time to explain the processes and how the pool system worked, which gave us even more confidence that we would be able to look after the pool once we were on our own. We can’t recommend Compass and their staff enough. From start to completion, they have been a joy to deal with.

Absolutely 5 Star Service! Could not fault the service from consultation stage through to commissioning and handover! Mike was very informative helping us to choose the right product for us and Ryan and the rest of the install team were excellent. A very professional service from everyone involved at Waterstream. A team of true professionals. As first time pool owners, we were faced with so many options we really didn’t know where to start. It’s such a big investment you want to make sure you are choosing the right system and product for your property and we were assured throughout the project that choosing a Compass One Piece was right for us (Trainer XL FB) Although we installed  late in the season, the pool has already created many happy days (and nights) with friends and family! Can’t wait for next season!

Over 3 years ago I started the process of looking into pool options, I started with natural pools as I was sure this was what I wanted, moved to salt water pools, went to concrete pools, then one piece pools and finally found Compass Pools; I then kept researching and couldn't find anything that looked any better on paper. I called the pool company and Penny became my sales person point of contact, she came to visit me at home. We chatted in my kitchen for some time, I must admit that I didn't understand some of the specs she was getting excited about, but I did get the overall concept, this was an good quality pool and ticked all my boxes. She answered every question I could think of and was just very straight with me. I had my 'you won't be getting me to sign anything amour', it is a special reinforced amour I wear especially for meetings with salespeople, I will sign when I am good and ready not when I am told to. But Penny was the best type of sales person, at no point through the entire process did I feel pressured or obligated to sign my life away. When she left I was satisfied that this was the pool for us. Once I had the quote I had to digest it, nothing on it seemed high but the overall amount was definitely more than I had been planning. A week later lockdown happened, the pool went on the backburner and there it stayed for about 18 months. Penny checked in with me and nothing more happened. From the point that I said we were ready, we paid the deposit and the whole process just started rolling. Another site visit and access routes were decided, this was an almost impossible task but Penny and Mike figured it out and when the time came it was completely smooth. On the exact date we had been given months earlier Mike and Penny appeared, equipment was delivered and the dig began. If I told you that from that first day it was 14 working days later I was handed the keys to the plant cupboard and my pool was fully functional and ready to use I do not think you'd believe me but it really is true. Mike was an absolute unbelievable craftsman, he knows every last thing about the process of installation and takes real pride on it being done well to a very high standard. I do various property developments and am the first person to find fault with workmanship, I could not find fault with Mike's fabulous work. Penny and Mike were here right through the instillation, Penny sales person had now morphed into Penny pool installer and right at the end she morphed again and became Penny technical pool care expert! Mike and Penny spent some time with me showing me the control functions and chemicals, making sure I understood it all and knew what I was doing. I videoed everything because there really is a lot to take in and this week I have continuously referred back to the videos in conjunction with the supplied manual. The happy ending to my long story: We have a XXL Trainer in the ground, with coping stones and solar cover, the air source heat pump worked for one day to get to temperature and turned off, the solar cover has taken it 5 degrees higher, the family has been in it every day, I've been out there at the crack of dawn doing my lengths both with the turbine on and off (different feel to the swim) and I could not be happier. The pool is better than I expected, I can not fault the team, Waterstream should be very happy with their staff and products. I am sure there is so much more I should have said but this is the over picture of a very satisfactory experience and product. photos of the process...

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Penny came out after I saw their pools advertised and went through exactly what size I could have and what I needed to fit my garden.   Mike then joined her to survey the site and from start to finish they were helpful and professional.  I was given a date for install and how long it would take and it was all done to the day.  I am thrilled with the pool and cannot believe how quick and easy the process was.  Thank you to all the guys for a great job…

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you’re thinking of getting a swimming pool, I highly recommend compass pools, from the initial design to completion everything went so smoothly. Sheila kept me informed of the progress and the different stages involved. All the members of staff are polite and helpful, when the pool was completed they left the garden tidy.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have just had a compass pool installed, and we are thrilled!  Making the decision to have one has not been a quick decision and we strongly suggest you make as many enquiries and do as much research as possible, as once the pool is in that's it! Compass has not disappointed.  The initial meeting with Tracy was the deciding point, as she really went through all of our options to meet our requirements.  The installation only took 2 weeks, and team  were extremely professional and helpful and always happy to answer our questions. (there were a lot!) We now have a wonderful pool to enjoy with our family and friends. Thank you to all involved.

Obviously problems arose and they responded calmly and competently. Moreover they extended their expertise to give some ideas for tricky landscaping.  Our boys tested the pool this morning on a chilly April day and the pool has warmed up beautifully. We adore the size, colour and the coping stones were beautifully laid by Mike. Thank you it’s gorgeous!

Penny and Mike from Waterstream installed our Compass Pool. From the moment I first met Penny to discuss installing a pool to their handover on completion they gave the best service. The quality of the product is excellent and Penny and Mike are so professional and their work is of the highest standards. Commissioning a pool can be quite a daunting process but throughout the process they were always there to put your mind at rest and the end result is perfect. Thanks again and highly recommended to anyone thinking of having a pool!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a brilliant and truly turnkey experience with Penny and Mike, one of Waterstream’s teams. Penny handled our initial enquiry and managed initial meetings, pool choice and specification, site visits and the entire installation process. We couldn’t be happier with the quality of the pool or the whole process which ran on time and on budget. Penny, Mike and the superbly choreographed cast of delivery and crane drivers etc were without exception a delight to have around. I’ve never seen anyone graft like Penny does, dealing with sales enquiries and supporting customer in between managing our install, shovelling ballast and running barrows; I wish she worked for my business! The whole process has been a pleasure and we’re very happy that we have a top quality pool, installed and working within a very short time from initial enquiry. Thanks Penny and Mike.

Alex / Nick and the entire team undertook the project of supplying us with an in-ground pool. Some of the groundworks were undertaken by our works team and they worked with the Waterstream guys. The entire process and professionalism was amazing and the on-site team did an amazing job and the end product is epic. We thank the team greatly for how the entire works were orchestrated and delivered, some challenging weather but they kept going. Truly great company and very easy to recommend to anyone considering a pool. The pool system being a composite and not tiled has made the running, keeping clean so easy, along with the auto dosing plant room it is an easy pool to maintain. Thank you Waterstream

Compass supplied and installed my pool in February 2021. The whole thing took just 3 weeks from start to finish in bad weather. Cannot say how impressed I was with the team doing the digging and install. Super professional and final job is an excellent pool installation. Unfortunately they have been unable to supply continuous sunshine for the whole of the summer!!! Oh well!! Many Thanks Roy

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you are considering a Compass Pool, I cannot recommend these guys enough. There were never any pushy sales tactics and Penny has been so honest and helpful throughout the entire process. Patiently answering all our many questions and helping us with our planning and landscaping queries. Rather bravely we were undergoing major renovation work to our house at the same time as installing the pool. Penny and her team had the patience of Saints and manoeuvred the whole project around scaffolding, tradesmen and tricky, changeable schedules. Our property is located down a narrow lane with difficult access but this was no problem for Penny, Mike, Scott and the rest of the team. Everything was craned over from the road with great care and precision. Just 10 days later we were swimming in the pool! Our pool was installed in September 2021 and we are so pleased with it. We may have missed the summer but you can’t beat swimming under the stars at night and the pool is so comfortably heated that we have been using it throughout the winter months too. A fun family Christmas Day and New Years Day swim was a must. Looking forward to this summer to use the pool for cooling down rather than warming up! We have the 11x4m sloping bottom XL Trainer which is the perfect length to be able to swim for exercise. Plenty of room for all the kids plus inflatables. The little ledge all around the pool is really handy for the kids to rest on in the deep end and easily get in and out of the pool (as they do a thousand times) and the top steps are just the right size for lounging on too. It’s been a few months now and the novelty of having a beautiful pool outside is not even close to wearing off yet. The after sales care is as exceptional as when they were here on site. An almost instant response from Penny to the odd maintenance query and even popping round the very next day to check on something for us. Polite, efficient and meticulous, would 100% recommend both the pool and the team at Waterstream. The Dines family

i procured a pool from compass on a new construction house we built. the house was considerably delayed, but compass were extremely good and accommodating the moving timelines. now the pool is in we are totally delighted with it, stunning aesthetic but also the kit is state of the art and all online via an app they really take the hassle out of up keeping a pool which i was dreading. re the resign of the pool, you are really left with the feeling they really know about pools and whats important. we were going to build one bespoke but we would never have thought of the little design touches that make is so user friendly. i rarely write reviews, but these guys really deserve it, rarely these days do you come across top notch suppliers that are also not too expensive. top service too, shout out to sheila, thank you..

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Alison  and Dear Alex, Simon, James and the team, We would like to thank you all very much for doing such a great job installing and commissioning our Compass Ceramic pool. Having had a traditional liner pool in the past there is no comparison to the superior quality and design of our new pool. The way in which it was organised and executed was so slick and it was a pleasure to have all of your team here at The Limes. We loved the complete package. The plant room solution is genius and enabled us to press ahead before our pool house was built. We never thought the pool would be up and running this season and are still swimming daily now. The solar cover is a great heat retainer and so easy to use. We love the lounging steps and managed a lounge on them sipping the lovely champagne you kindly gave to us. Having the use of a pool is a key part of our recovery from various medical events and to have it at home means we have no excuse in getting fit again. We are very grateful for the help you have given us to make this happen. We would highly recommend Waterstream to anyone considering a pool. We are so impressed with the whole organisation. With very best wishes Yours sincerely, Alison and Kieron

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Once decided upon a pool company I’m very pleased we went with Waterstream and the Compass pool. Their whole end to end process was so straightforward for such a dramatic change. No sales push. Dedicated representative thorough out the process. The on-site team were efficient,  no nonsense get the job done - but all friendly and very professional. Couldn’t be happier with the final result. Pool looks great - went with the light Pearl finish which looks stunning against the green backdrop of the garden. The plant room is compact and easy to navigate and we love the way it’s all hidden away (behind the hedge) and quiet! The integrated cover completes the look and helps heat the water. With the plethora of companies out there, choosing the right one is paramount and we’ve not been disappointed.

From her first visit she was positive about putting the pool into a relatively small space. A year on and we absolutely love the pool. It is crystal clear and easy to maintain. Would definitely recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The whole team at Compass were brilliant from start to finish.  Initially we did a lot of analysis of their competitors in the market, but we went ahead with Compass who to us seemed the best by a long way.  Sheila was really lovely and so helpful throughout the whole process.  The team were building our pool just before lockdown started and they went the extra mile to complete all of the works so the pool was up and running just before we all went into lockdown - such a treat!  Now 4 years on our pool is used daily and adored by all the family and our friends too. Compass are always on hand if we need any help with anything, though we haven't needed much so far.  Long may that continue.  A huge thank you to everyone at Compass.

When we decided to install a pool, Penny helped us through the specification and costing process with sensible advice and a detailed project plan. The installation ran to time, despite particularly awful winter weather. Penny and Mike did a great job - they are hardworking, thoughtful and were a pleasure to deal with. We are very happy with our new pool and look forward to making the most of it this summer!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Penny and Mike installed our Compass pool in June 2021. They are extremely knowledgable in all aspects of pool installation. They worked tirelessly in some rainy conditions on the day of installation,  managing the difficult access from a narrow lane, and  continued to clean, and complete the pool and hand it over with clear instructions on how to manage the pool going forward. Once the landscaping around it is done, it will be even more wonderful, although everyone seems happy to swim in it as it is now, as it is so perfect! Penny and Mike are lovely to work with, totally unflappable, and they kept in touch daily throughout the process which we appreciated.  I would highly recommend this Compass team.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a pool installed by Compass Pools earlier this year. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish. From Nick talking me through the options and answering my multiple dumb questions, Billy, Mark and Kyle that did our installation over the wettest winter in memory and then Ryan who talked me through resetting the cover open and close mechanism when it got stuck after a power cut. A really professional team and more importantly a brilliant product. Thanks guys!

Sheila whom I met, was knowledgeable and extremely helpful. During the construction every member of the team was professional and extremely friendly , the whole project was completeled within the timeframe they promised. They have left me with my dream pool. Their attention to detail and service is brilliant. Highly recommend them to anyone that wants a quality pool!

Our Compass pool has been officially handed over to us & we are very happy. Tracy has been phenomenal throughout the whole process, answering all of our many questions & reassuring us - it's a huge decision to make after all. The biggest concern we had was getting the pool off our lane, down the drive and over the house.  Elliot had this well under control. The drivers & crane operator were unbelievable and even the neighbours enjoyed watching the process. Post handover, we have had a couple of teething issues, which is to be expected with a new install. The engineers have been at hand and have been very helpful, although I think the company needs to get a better handle on this side of the business and a dedicated Customer Service Manager is very much needed.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just completed handover of our Compass pool, delivered and installed by Waterstream. It's been a great experience throughout from the initial sale, through the installation and commissioning process, and now jumping in! We bought the pool on the basis of its quality, and we are incredibly impressed with the engineering and build quality of the product. The team has been excellent throughout, and with special thanks to Mike Tucker who was with us throughout the entire process from sale to handover. It is great to be dealing with someone who isn't a 'close for forget' salesman, but someone who is with the customer the whole way through. We are looking forward to decades of pool fun to come!

Excellent service from Penny and Mike (seems to be a consistent theme with these two on these reviews)!  I had lots of questions in the months running up to choosing a pool and deciding on the spec of all the associated equipment.  Penny couldn't have been more helpful, helping me to make the best choices for my needs, explaining some of the more technical aspects, and making several trips to site with Mike to go through everything in person. I was very surprised to see her lugging ballast and granite slabs, going around with the spirit-level and checking the chemistry on the week of installation, as I'd assumed that would be a different team, but it was all part of the service and explains why her and Mike's knowledge of the products and equipment was so good! Overall, we're really happy with the pool and I can't wait until the landscaping around it is finished so we can start using it properly in the spring!  Our landscaping company has also commented on the quality of the setup; they see a lot of pools so I found their seal of approval very reassuring. Thanks again to Penny and Mike - great job!

The process of obtaining a quotation from Nick Robertson and the initial survey completion by Alex Kemsley was seamless and no time do you feel you were being pushed to buy!! The installation team were exceptional and very knowledgeable. Elliot & John were a pleasure to have here whilst they battled with the November inclement Weather.  I would highly recommend Compass Pools and we are overjoyed with our pool.

Compass Pools were great throughout the whole process of choosing a pool, ordering it, installing it and tweaking any slight changes since it was finished.  It has now been in for a year and I swim every day before breakfast regardless of the weather, snow on the ground etc. We have recently had a pool house finished so I can go straight from the pool into the shower without having to dry first! I would thoroughly recommend Compass Pools for the products they sell and for the service that they provide.  Peter Williams, Eastbourne.

A first-class service from everyone at Waterstream. From initial consultation with Sheila – who was an absolute star throughout the whole project – the very detailed technical survey by Elliot, the super helpful project manager Simon, through to the absolutely superb team that installed the pool, headed by John and Vitali. Nothing was ever a problem. Everyone was so professional, accommodating, pleasant and patient. Everything was always clearly explained and we have nothing but the highest praise for everyone who worked on the project. Oh, yes, the swimming pool – fabulous, better than we had hoped for! Great service and a great product. Mike & Daniela, Norfolk

We trusted the process through the mud and have been rewarded with a fabulous pool which we have enjoyed this first season. Waterstream service dept have always been on hand to answer my questions, as a new pool owner their advice is invaluable. Overall a professional, friendly company who deliver an excellent product.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Installation of an outdoor carbon ceramic swimming pool. Cannot speak highly enough about Compass Pools. A real quality product and team made this a thoroughly enjoyable process from start to finish. Faultless. If you are looking to install a pool look no further. Incredible quality, transparent pricing, great work ethic shown by all the team, responsive, friendly and everything delivered on time and according to schedule (ahead of time in truth). Of special note was our salesperson Sheila, who was with us every step of the way from the initial consultation to the final handover day and without whom we wouldn't have proceeded with this endeavour.  Add to that our project manager Elliot; Harry, Ryan and Josh who did the hard grunt work of digging and excavating (also going above and beyond the remit in order to help us and our neighbours); and Mark who finished up sorting out our plant room. We will forever be grateful to you all for making a dream come true.

Thank you and the entire Waterstream team so much for a very efficient, smooth running pool installation. From the moment we first met Mike (in the snow!) I felt we were in good, capable hands. He was excellent at helping us to decide which pool would be best for us and gave us so much confidence with regards to the installation process too. His efficiency in providing a quote within a day or two of our meeting, his constantly speedy responses to my many and varied queries and his patience with the many questions from a pool novice such as myself all helped us to make the decision that Waterstream were the company we wanted to work with. What a bonus it was being able to move the installation date forward by a month. From the day we first met Alex, Elliot and also Micky, we knew we would be in safe hands with the installation. Micky and his team did an excellent job of working efficiently, always keeping the site tidy, minimising disruption to ourselves and our neighbours and, of course, working with such precision and care. Micky always communicated with me daily, to ensure I was aware of what was happening that day and what would be expected in the coming days. He really helped me to feel relaxed about the installation and he always answered questions and queries with patience! The two drivers who delivered the pool to us were also very helpful and whilst I appreciate they are not employed by Waterstream, they did a great job of representing the company. When there were issues of Covid within the team, Grant and his colleagues did a superb job of taking over the running of the site and keeping everything on track. He, too, was an excellent communicator and I always knew what was happening at any given time. Mark did a fabulous job of installing the plant room for us and, once again, was always communicative and helpful. His quality of work was excellent. The installation was seamless, from beginning to end, despite the issues of Covid and also the problems with various parts being difficult to source. The pool handover with Alex and Mike was excellent and insightful. We were left feeling very confident about how to manage and look after our pool on a day to day basis. Adam, in the service team, has already provided himself to be helpful and efficient too. We are absolutely thrilled with our pool and have already enjoyed a number of fun-filled days with family and friends (despite the good old English weather doing its best to spoil our fun!). We are looking forward to another couple of months of fun (and hopefully sun!) to come too. Everyone we have encountered during this process has been efficient, professional, capable and, above all, a real pleasure to deal with. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Waterstream to anyone considering a pool.

What can I say about Penny, Mike and Scott and my overall experience with Compass Pools UK? First of all, aside from buying my home, adding a pool is the biggest single investment I’m ever likely to make. To make that decision took a LOT of research through several pool companies. I explored liner, concrete/tile and one-piece pool options, weighing up the pros and cons of each method of building as well as those of the builders themselves. It was through this evaluation process that Penny and Compass Pools stood head and shoulders above the competition. From a build perspective, the one-piece pool from Compass has many advantages over the alternatives. It is robust, long-lasting, comes with a long structural warranty backed by a reputable and financially strong organisation, it has lower maintenance needs, uses less chemicals than the alternatives, the project lead time was advantageous, and the project build time blew the others away (2 weeks from breaking ground to swimming). Then there were the personal interactions. I had a LOT of questions. Penny was professional, patient, flexible and guided me through the buying process with zero pressure. It was much appreciated and that personable approach followed through post-contract. During the build, Mike, Penny and Scott formed a formidable team. Watching them operate from day to day was like a well oiled machine. The expert co-ordination of multiple deliveries of equipment, materials, aggregate and more, by Penny was incredible to witness. Mike’s mastery of a massive excavator was a sight to behold and seeing Scott keeping up with Mike’s excavations with a 6 tonne Dumper as he moved the spoils to their departure point was first class. When something went wrong, and it did (we couldn’t get the lorry carrying the pool into our road), there was always a Plan B that was instigated without fuss or panic. That calm ownership of the project enabled us to remain confident throughout. The pool was in the ground on day 4. It was full of water on (calendar) day 7. The heating and filtration was running early in week 2 and the pool, copings, automated cover, LED lights, all looking incredible before the end of week 2. Astonishing. Incredible. Delightful! Today is day 9 and the 'photos below are of the completed pool ready for hard-landscaping by my own contractor. I have already recommended Compass to neighbors and will continue to do so. I am blown away with the quality of the product, the team’s efficiency, attention to detail, the service and the relationships formed. I simply could not be happier with my choice. If you’re in a similar situation, uncertain of the direction to go, ask for my number and ask me in person. I’ll be more than happy to answer your questions honestly and without reservation.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We decided to use Compass based on the experience of friends who recommended them. The initial meetings were straightforward and Nick was helpful in terms of explaining the various options and how the installation process would work. When the time came for excavation and installation of the pool, Penny and Mike made a preliminary visit and explained the timeline and what we could expect. They were incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and very efficient! They make a great team and we couldn’t believe the range of skills they possess between them. Nothing was too much trouble and obstacles were only ever met with solutions. They worked very long hours in some tricky conditions but always had a smile on their faces! We couldn’t be more thrilled with the finish and feel very lucky to have had such professionals working on the project.

Every member of their team ensured each stage of the process flowed smoothy, shielding the customer from any concerns - particularly on delivery day - and even taking it upon themselves to resolve issues caused by other company delivery drivers. I cannot rate them highly enough but in particular Hannah’s strong communication and support and Ryan and Max’s determined attitude to overcome the seemingly impossible on two occasions! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Compass to anyone else considering a product and company.

The team at Compass completed the installation professionally and promptly. They were always quick to reply to any queries we had and had a depth of experience to call upon. The end result is a high quality pool installation that speaks for itself. Anyone daunted by the prospect of a project of this size should speak to the team - it is actually quite simple and they have a tried and tested formula that works.

A friend recommended Penny to me when I was first thinking about getting a pool and she took me through the whole process, I couldn't have done it without her.  I had my own builder to dig out as we had some landscaping to do before the pool could be fitted and she worked with him to make sure that there would be no problems with the final fit.  She was always happy to answer any questions we had.  The actual fitting of the pool ran smoothly and on time, despite the difficult site and the crane guys made it all look easy.  The whole team were lovely to work with and the pool looks great.  Can't wait for the weather to warm up so we can get in it.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our Compass Pool was installed at the end of September last year. After much research and inquiries we met Hannah who came to talk us through the process of installation and choosing the right pool for our garden. I should say Hannah entered our lives.  She was never pushy, more than helpful, and always there for the silliest question.  She and the Waterstream team were amazing during the installation …three weeks later we were swimming in a warm pool.  Hannah has returned, after a short winter closure, to refresh our memories of the maintenance, I can’t believe how helpful she has been throughout.  We absolutely love our pool….Thank you Hannah and the whole crew!

From start to finish, the team was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and responsive to all our questions. They offered expert advice on everything from the best location for the pool on our plot to the right size and setup for our needs—including the addition of auto dosing and a turbine, which have made a huge difference. Our site wasn’t the easiest, but the team was flexible and worked around our specific requirements with no fuss. The handover process was also seamless. As first-time pool owners, we really appreciated how clearly everything was explained. They made it easy for us to feel confident in managing and maintaining the pool. A special thank you to James, who supported us throughout and made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend Compass Ceramic Pools UK.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My Pool was installed by Waterstream Ltd who are the U.K. agent for Compass. Very impressed with the experience and the end result. The Project management and implementation was excellent. The implementation team couldn’t have been more professional, polite, friendly and efficient. The “After-Sales” Service however leaves much to be desired. Your support ticket is logged and they say they will get back to you in 48 hours but from my experience it takes weeks to get a response and that’s only when you chase them - even then, they make you feel that you are a nuisance - when all you want to do is to pay for a service. Waterstream Support/Service is definitely the weak link. But I am happy with my decision on the Compass pool and very happy with the installation and project management. If not for the After-Service I’d give it 5 stars. My learnings from the pool I chose were: 1. Choose the pool colour only after you have asked  the company to view some installations as I regret the shade of blue that I chose from their brochure 2. Put in more lights inside the pool than they recommend. I put in step lights and 3 lights along one side but I wish I’d put in more lights on the other pool side as well. 3. The biggest Heat Exchanger was a good decision. 4. I wish I’d bought the automatic pool cleaning option as in the autumn- when many leaves are falling - I spend forever scooping out leaves (even though I have an electric cover). 5. I love the auto-dosing do I don’t have to worry about testing ph and chlorine levels.

Great company and would thoroughly recommend. Sheila was friendly and helpful from the start of the process and made me aware of the options along with sending over previous projects to help me decide. The end result looks fantastic, I’m so glad we went with the one piece pool and although we have only just finished the garden and not managed to use the pool much in this weather it will be so much fun in the summer so we cannot wait!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We bought a property based on being able to install a swimming pool, there were three options, a liner, block/brick, render and tile or composite one piece. Swimming pools are not cheap and you want to be able to enjoy and not be looking for the next cost replacing a liner or re-tiling. Costs of running a pool are of course just as important. There was no hard sell, we were looked after from start to finish and now have a great ongoing relationship with Compass. We have offered our pool as a show pool for any potential purchaser and would be more than happy to independently discuss anything that we have experienced. We can not praise Compass enough, a great friendly team.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am not easily impressed and normally shy away from writing reviews but have to say that I have been very impressed with the entire Waterstream team, from the initial contact with sales, to the team that were onsite and finally the handover. The entire process has been very smooth and executed with a very high degree of professionalism. We are delighted with the end product and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Waterstream and Compass Pools. Mark Loader - Norfolk

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This process has been so easy from start to finish. To begin with, we wanted to see the pool we had chosen in situ. This was arranged very quickly, and it was exactly what we were looking for. Ordering was also straightforward, and everything from that point through to delivery went exactly as expected. Once the pool was installed, we spent a few hours going through all the maintenance requirements (despite being in the middle of a building site). It was very thorough, and I’d highly recommend anyone doing this to take videos we’ve found them to be a real lifesaver. When we struggled on our own, Penny was fantastic even messaging me back on a Sunday when I was completely floundering. Now it’s all done, we feel confident about what we need to do and we absolutely love our pool. We just need the rest of the house finished before we can start swimming, but it’s there ready and waiting, along with the bottle of champagne they kindly left us as a gift. Thank you both so much we love it. Claire and Andy x

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Waterstream highly enough. Mike was a pleasure to work with, from initial scoping despite all our questions being pool novices, through to a very clear handover, always responsive and helpful. Billy and the installation team were total pros, always working hard, in good spirits, kept to the expected timeline, keeping us updated on all the progress, and maintaining the site in good order. Simon’s sign off was meticulous, the attention to detail by all involved having been of the highest standard. The resulting pool (Aqua Nova 84, with a turbine which is fantastic), is first-class and will be enjoyed by family and friends for many years to come. Thanks to the entire team!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. There are two aspects to the company, the people and the product. I can't fault either of them. The people are friendly, expert and very helpful. Theirs is a premium product but worth it. The build quality is first rate and the operating system options can give you a package as sophisticated as you wish.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thoroughly professional and still friendly company. Great support. A swimming pool is an expensive purchase and this is a premium product rather than budget so it wasn’t the cheapest option out there. Having got comfortable with the quote, however, there were very few surprises and all of them have been good ones. Our install had some tricky access problems that the team coped with brilliantly and with minimal damage to the surrounding landscaping. Such damage as there was had been previously flagged up and was expected. The timescales we were quoted were either met or bettered and the only unknown in the price was the amount of backfill material required and again this was flagged before we agreed to proceed. We have had one maintenance issue being a faulty pump that was replaced very quickly and efficiently. All the team have been great to deal with, and Sheila in particular has gone above and beyond. No regrets and no hesitation in recommending.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sheila, of Compass Pools would get 10 stars if that were possible - she was absolutely terrific from initial sales enquiry, right through the ensuing year whilst we waited for planning permission, going far more than the extra mile and continues to do so even after commissioning is complete.  By the way, anyone contemplating one of these amazing pools should be aware that no planning permission is required now if the pool is within 20 meters of your house, even in an aonb.  There were issues with the groundworks during installation - a somewhat cavalier approach by the team resulted in collapsed sewage drains, a huge mess of our driveway and an incorrect assessment of the hole which was dug by others, hence 1 less star.  We are content now, however and love the pool. We would not hesitate to recommend Compass Pools.

We had never built an indoor pool before and were helped from start to finish by the Compass teams. Many thanks to Hannah and Elliot and everyone else at Compass who helped along the way. We are so happy with the pool which looks stunning

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The team at Waterstream installed our pool with precision and professionalism and importantly were within their 2 week timeline. We live in the middle of a very narrow country road, meaning that the delivery and project itself was incredibly tough going and difficult to manage. Despite these obstacles, and in torrential rain, Penny and Mike in particular wouldn't take no for an answer and went above and beyond to ensure that the project could go ahead, and the pool be delivered. The pool itself is superb quality and looks absolutely fantastic. Penny managed the project well, and Mike has a superb demeanour, was calm throughout and was meticulous with his detail. Scott never stopped working, and the entire team delivered a fantastic product, whilst bending to our requests and adhering to our specifications. The handover was smooth and detailed, and their after service has been extremely helpful and responsive. I would highly recommend the Compass pool and Waterstream for their delivery and installation.

The pool installation went very smoothly and quickly, in our case this was craned over our house so the whole process was quite exciting to watch. A fairly large team of people and materials were delivered and put in place over 2 days, and works finishing this off over the subsequent 2 weeks by Penny and Mike. We are now waiting for contractors to return to complete paving around the pool area, and the terrace at the back of our house. My only negative on this was being asked just 2 weeks before the installation to get neighbours agreement for the crane to oversail (swing over) their properties, fortunately they were OK with this.

Penny and Mike stuck to their timings and the cost, not only this but good communication through out.  Pool is excellent, family of 5 all thoroughly enjoying and can’t wait for it to opened again for the summer.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are delighted with our Compass pool.  It was a tricky build fitting it into a terraced sight half way down the garden but Compass worked closely with their recommended landscape designer Eden Landscapes to prepare the site and fit the pool and the finished result is fantastic!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Compass to have an XL trainer swimming pool prepared and installed and could not be happier with the results. It is a given that the swimming pool is a sensational one; it’s got a sleek design and a clever system with an impressively designed plant room that all works seamlessly and is incredibly user friendly. What exceeded our expectations though was how the installation team worked whilst on site; they worked so hard and ensured that we knew what was going on every step of the way with our swimming pool being delivered and installed all within a mere two weeks! Since installation, we have continued to be impressed with their services. Penny and Mike from the installation team continue to be in touch, checking in to see how the surrounding pool landscaping is developing and providing tips on how to care and maintain the pool. We couldn’t have asked for more from these two, they really brought a personal touch to the whole Compass experience whilst delivering a professional service and perfectly executed product at the end of the installation. We are delighted and beyond excited to get the pool open this summer, with Compass coming back to assist with the opening for us. Thank you to Penny and Mike and all the team at Compass. From Nick in the Sales Team, to Penny and Mike at installation and beyond, you have given us the most fantastic start to our swimming pool days ❤️ Thank you from all the Poole family!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Penny and Mike of Compass in Kent did a fantastic job - professional, experienced, confidence building (for first time pool owners!) and always on time/always doing exactly what they said they would from first meeting and good advice through to final installation, handover and explanations of maintaining the pool. dealt expertly with difficult access, a narrow lane, a big crane lift (with high winds) along the way. Thoroughly recommend them. Great product, great finish.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From initial consultation to installation and ongoing maintenance the Compass service is about as good as it gets. The pool construction is also a real no-brainer compared to other pool types. Easier and speedier to fit, cleaner, smarter and less likely to falter. Best decision we made (and I am hard to please so I don't say this too lightly). Got to dash.. going for a dip now!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We came across Compass by total chance having already decided on having a pool built by more traditional methods of concrete & tiled finish. Having then found an article in a magazine about the various types of swimming pools available, it brought our attention to one piece ceramic pools as a viable option. We then did some research on the internet and spoke to various companies who offer similar products and having spoken with Sheila from Compass invited her up so we can see their product and services in more detail. Instantly we were impressed with both the product and Sheila's knowledge and quickly decided that Compass were the company for us. This was to be for an indoor pool & we were having a bespoke building constructed at the same time to house it, to which Compass worked really well with our builders and met all agreed timelines. We opted for the air-handling unit with ducting, automatic pool cover, fully automatic disinfection and pH control system & auto top up. Well we have now been using the pool for nearly three months and it's been great. All I can say is that we are having hours of fun and not hours of maintenance, thanks to Shelia and the all the team @ Compass for helping us to achieve our goal. We would definitely recommend Compass. Mike & Susan

Last year we decided to install an indoor pool for exercise and enjoyment We spent a long time selecting the right pool for us . Looking at various constructions .  Compass Ceramic pools seemed the best option in all respects . Now we have the pool the decision was certainly well made . The quality is superb while offering very good value for money . Waterstream were given our order in September and from day one the service has been first class . Penny and Mike handled every aspect from advising on specification to handling the installation . Every thing was well planned and the work was carried out very well and on time . We are delighted with our pool and would 100% recommend Waterstream , Penny and Mike and Compass pools.

Jane Styslinger – Hampshire
"We couldn't be happier with the service we received from all the team. Right from Sheila in sales on day 1 through to John and Glenn on site. Now we have a pool the boys are in it in all weather and it gets them off the Xbox! They have used the pool every day since May-be it after school or early in the morning and we both use it to exercise whenever we have a spare half an hour.That alone makes it more than worth it."

The install team were a pleasure to work with and had a good eye for detail / getting things right / keeping the site tidy. I would not hesitate to recommend Compass."
