Relocatable
part of the charm is that our container swimming pools are highly manoeuvrable. So if you move house and want to take your pool with you, well, you can!
The brainchild of father and son team Michael and Joel Painter, Container Pools Ltd was formed early 2016.
There were three main drivers for the development of this business and products:
- To provide an affordable, durable swimming pool system for New Zealanders.
- To provide pool systems that could cope with New Zealand geographical and seismic conditions.
- To provide a portable pool system so that the option to move the pool with the owners, would be viable.

POOL SPECIFICATIONS
Our pool units are 1.67m high, and 2.5m wide. The pool fiberglass shell is 2.35m wide and 1.45m deep, and come with: duel access internal stairs for easy pool entry (but leaving your swimming lane clear so you can swim the entire length); a standard floating cover; a child safety ledge along the length of the pool; a chlorine filtration system and of course, our crafted hardwood decking finish. All our pools are pre-wired and plumbed in factory to make installation as simple as possible.
You can personalise your container swimming pool with a choice of: exterior container colours; fibreglass shell colours; WiFi; salt and/or mineral purification systems; a variety of hardware choices such as mood lighting and swim jets; heat pumps; having your pool as a freestanding unit or incorporated into your deck. Standard fibreglass colours are Bermuda Blue and Coral Blue. There is a tinting charge for other fibreglass colour selections.
All our pools are 100% built in New Zealand to ensure that they are best suited to New Zealand climate, geology and regulatory requirements. You may choose to install your own pool or we have a full installation service available. Either way, we are only ever just a phone call away.
Our pools also have COMMERCIAL and THERAPEUTIC applications –please call us to discuss.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the pools made of?
BIG CHANGES with the arrival of our Generation 3 pools. Previously, our pools were constructed using 1 trip as new shipping containers. We never used the top half of the shipping containers because they aren't as strong as the bases -potentially causing greater instability. This created a huge amount of waste, and environmentally, we weren't happy about that. So NOW, we are building our own containers, using entirely brand new components, and reducing waste by a staggering 90%!
The liner is moulded fiberglass with insulation built into it. All our pools are decked in hardwood timber to achieve a beautiful CRAFTED finish.
