Aqua Platinum Projects have recently undertaken an extensive swimming pool refurbishment for an exclusive client in Hertfordshire. The house is an outstanding period family home with fabulous views within grounds approaching 16 acres.

Set towards the northern boundary is the outdoor swimming pool, where APP has undertaken the remedial works to remove all pool surround tiles and re-tile. APP has also tiled the band of mosaics to the top of the pool edge and acid washed the swimming pool to remove any stubborn stains to the pool surface.

APP has undertaken the replacement of all lighting to LED lighting and electrics and removed and re-installed state-of-the-art filtration equipment, providing a four-hour complete water turnover.

In addition, APP has installed a fully automatic swimming pool safety cover that runs along tracks and locks the pool shut when engaged. The swimming pool refurbishment was complete in a matter of weeks so that our client has been able to enjoy their newly renovated swimming pool in time for summer.
