More time swimming. Less time cleaning.
Every fibreglass pool we install for Wollongong, Shellharbour, and Kiama homeowners is built on Compass Pools' core technology, a structural and cosmetic package designed to protect your investment for life. Beyond that, you can tailor the pool with optional upgrades to suit how you want to live with it, from self-cleaning circulation to custom design features.
Vantage In-Floor
Cleaning System
Most people dream about swimming. Nobody dreams about vacuuming.
The Vantage In-Floor Cleaning System is an optional upgrade for your Compass pool, and for many of our Wollongong and Shellharbour customers, it's the single most worthwhile add-on they choose.
It's a patented water circulation system built directly into the floor of the pool shell. Strategically placed jets rise from the floor in sequence, pushing leaves, dirt, and debris toward a central drain, without any need for manual vacuuming, robotic cleaners, or suction-side devices dragging across your shell.
Because Vantage actively circulates your water from the bottom up, it also eliminates the cold spots that plague traditional skimmer-only pools, spreads heat evenly through the water, and significantly reduces chemical consumption. That means fewer chemicals to buy, fewer dead zones for algae, and a pool that genuinely stays clean on its own.
Talk to us during your site visit about whether Vantage is the right upgrade for your pool.
Advanced Hydrostatic
Protection
Compass Pools can now offer you even better protection with our exclusive hydrostatic warranty.
Heavy rain raises groundwater. When groundwater rises higher than your pool's water level, it can push the pool upward, like a boat, leaving permanent cracks or bulges once it settles.
This is a genuine concern on the NSW south coast, where east-coast lows can dump hundreds of millimetres of rain in a single weekend. We've seen hydrostatic damage on pools built by other companies across Wollongong, Shellharbour and Kiama, and the repairs are expensive, invasive, and often only partially effective.
Every Compass pool we install comes with the exclusive HydroPro system, engineered to manage groundwater pressure before it can affect your pool shell. It's backed by a lifetime hydrostatic damage warranty, a level of protection no other major fibreglass pool brand in Australia currently matches, and one you don't pay extra for.
If you're building on a block with a high water table, this is the feature to ask about.
Pool Feature
Customisations
A preformed fibreglass pool doesn't have to look like everyone else's.
Because Compass pools arrive on-site as a complete shell, people often assume they all look identical. They don't. Every Compass pool can be customised with optional feature additions that transform a standard install into a genuine backyard centrepiece, and we'll walk you through every option on your site visit, showing you exactly what works on your block.
Some of the most popular upgrades for our Wollongong and Shellharbour customers:
Ponds & Waders - shallow shelves on one end of the pool, perfect for toddlers, loungers, or feature planting. Adds visual depth without reducing swimming space.
Infinity / Wet Edges - water that spills seamlessly over one or more edges of the pool. Stunning on sloped Kiama and Gerringong blocks where the pool looks out to a view.
Sunpods - a wide, shallow sunbathing shelf integrated into the pool design. Half-in, half-out, ideal for cooling off without fully submerging.
LED lighting, bluestone coping, glass tiling, mosaic inlays, finishing touches that make the pool unmistakably yours.
The Triple Guarantee
Warranty
Three separate warranties. Industry-leading across the board. Built into every Compass pool we install, at no extra cost.
Most pool builders give you a single warranty covering vague "manufacturer defects", which often leaves you exposed when something actually goes wrong. Compass Pools takes a different approach with three independent, written guarantees:
- 10 Years enhanced cosmetic protection with our ArmourShield technology
- Lifetime structural warranty with our CeramicCore technology
- Lifetime hydrostatic damage protection with our HydroPro System
