You know that moment when you start dreaming about your new pool? You can almost feel the water, hear the splashes, picture the weekend braais with friends… and then someone says, “So, what exactly is included in the installation?”
That’s when reality kicks in.
At Cape Pools, we’ve heard the stories — homeowners who thought they were getting “everything” but ended up with surprise costs, missing parts, or worse, a half-finished pool. That’s why our New Pool Installation Package is 100% upfront. You’ll know exactly what you’re getting from day one, so when we hand over your pool, it’s swim-ready and fully equipped.
Let’s walk through what’s in the package — and why each part is important.

1. The Pool Shell — Where It All Begins
We start with a fibreglass shell (unless your needs are more advanced) in a beautiful light pool blue, complete with mosaic detail.
Why fibreglass? Because it’s smooth, non-porous, and low-maintenance. That means no rough patches scraping your feet and fewer places for algae to cling. The light blue colour also makes your water look fresh, clean, and inviting — perfect for those sunny Cape Town afternoons when the whole family’s ready to jump in.
2. The Essentials for Swimming and Circulation
It’s not just about having a pool full of water — it’s about keeping that water clean, safe, and moving.
Our package includes:
- Blue LED Pool Light – Night swims? Yes, please. This isn’t just practical for visibility; it also makes your pool look magical after sunset.
- Skimmer Box – Think of it as your pool’s vacuum. It pulls in debris from the surface before it sinks to the bottom.
- Aimflow – Helps circulate water so chemicals are evenly distributed, keeping your water healthy and balanced.
These aren’t “extras” — they’re vital for a pool that stays clean and inviting all year round.
3. The Brains of the Operation — Electrical Setup
You’ll get a dedicated DB box with a timer and transformer. In plain English? This lets you automate your pump and lighting schedules so you don’t have to remember to switch them on and off.
Want your pool light to come on automatically at dusk? Done. Want your pump to run during off-peak hours to save electricity? Easy. This setup gives you control and efficiency from day one.
4. The Heart and Lungs — Pump & Filter
A gorgeous pool is useless without strong, reliable equipment. That’s why we include:
- 0.75kW Pool Pump (2-Year On-Site Warranty) – Energy-efficient but powerful enough to keep your water circulating.
- Quality Sand Filter (2-Year On-Site Warranty) – Works with your pump to trap dirt and debris. We even include the filter sand so you don’t have to buy it separately.
We’re not just dropping off equipment; we’re giving you quality gear with a proper warranty so you can swim without worry.
5. The Tools to Keep It Sparkling
We’re big believers in setting you up for success. That’s why we include a full cleaning kit:
- Aluminium pole
- Sweeper vacuum brush
- Leaf rake
- Chlorine floater
And here’s a little bonus for pools 4m and bigger — during our current specials, you’ll get a complimentary Aquasphere Pool Cleaner. This nifty gadget does a lot of the cleaning work for you, saving time (and arguments about whose turn it is to vacuum the pool).
6. Making the Connections
We take care of the practical stuff, too:
- Electrical connection point within 15m of the pool
- Plumbing connection from the waste pipe to your existing sewer (max 15m)
This means you’re not left chasing contractors or figuring out how to get everything hooked up — it’s all part of the job.
7. The Strong Foundation
Your pool isn’t just dropped in and filled. We build a concrete ring beam for stability and finish it off with a 500mm x 500mm coping skirt. This isn’t just structural — it gives your pool a clean, safe, and professional finish.
8. The Heavy Work — All Taken Care Of
Here’s what you don’t have to worry about:
- Delivery
- Digging the hole (soft soil included in the package)
- Installation labour
- Backfilling
- Rubble removal
In other words, no calling around for extra help or hiring someone to clean up after. We do it all.
9. We Show You the Ropes
When the pool is done, we don’t just hand you the keys (well, the pool equivalent of keys) and disappear. We give you a full demonstration on how everything works, plus a Swimming Pool Maintenance Guide you can refer back to anytime.
Because a pool is an investment — and we want you to get the most out of it.
10. The Fine Print (Without the Surprises)
We offer free site inspections and formal quotes, with prices based on soft, pickable soil. If your site has rocky, clay, or turf soil, or there’s underground water, we’ll explain any extra costs upfront — no nasty surprises.
Prices can vary by location, and there may be travel charges for certain areas, but we’ll confirm everything during the inspection.

Why This Package Matters
We’ve seen too many pool installations elsewhere where the client had to run around buying extra equipment, hiring extra contractors, or paying unexpected bills.
This package is different — it’s everything you need, in one go, done by one team, with clear timelines and no mystery extras. You get the pool, the equipment, the tools, the connections, the labour, the clean-up, and the know-how.
All that’s left for you? Pick a swimsuit and decide what drink you’re having poolside.
