You’re selling, leasing or buying a property with a pool or spa.
You want peace-of-mind that your pool area is safe for your loved ones.

    what is the price with $150 of and how does it compare to other people in the industry.
    Your post looks very much like SPAM>

    • Hi,
      Our inspection with this offer comes down to $225.
      That includes the Certificate of Compliance, or non-Compliance.
      If you require a second inspection we only charge $90 anywhere in Sydney.
      Most certifiers are charging $300-$400.

      I recommend going to the website and 'Pool Safety Checklist' page. The second paragraph with the 7 tips will give you the best chance to pass first time.

      If you dropdown the inspection type box you can see the price of $375. Less $150 makes $225.

      Councils will do it cheaper. Blacktown Council just did a big review of all residential pools in their area for free. I don't think this is a bargain.

      • Hi,
        I think there is some misinformation here. There is NO free inspection.
        The 'free' review you're probably referring to is the letter that many pool/spa owners that reside in the area got from Blacktown council. It basically asks residents to get their pool/spa inspected by either the council or a private certifier.
        We know about this because we've a flood of work around the area!
        However Blacktown council, like every other NSW council, charge $150 for an inspection.
        Despite this many pool/spa owners still prefer to pay a private certifier $300-$400 to do the pool inspection.
        Our price with this offer is only $225 - so it is a bargain!
        Check out our Facebook reviews, we're very helpful and efficient.
        If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask me.

        Cheers,
        Tony.

          Well 3 houses in my family just went through full pool inspections, certifications and even follow up reviews at no cost all fully instigated and organised by Blacktown Council. Not just letters, full inspections.

          Can't help but feel this is still advertising. Especially when you yourself admit that councils charge less than you and have a larger scope of work than you

        • @tomclancy:
          Wow, how lucky are you, 3 compliance inspections for free.
          You do realise you're misrepresenting a Government body.

          Here is the link to the council website and the price is clearly displayed -
          http://www.blacktown.nsw.gov.au/Planning_and_Development/Reg…

          And as far as the scope of work being limited to the pool/spa area, that is the exact reason why most people go with a private certifier!

          I gave you a challenge before, you seem keen to help out other members. How many private certifiers are charging less than $300!

  • What is the normal cost?

    • Hi, normally we charge $375 for the compliance inspection.
      For Ozbargain members promo code ozbarg01 brings down to $225.
      Anywhere Sydney, we also cover the Central Coast and Wollongong regions.
      Hope that helps.

    ok.

  • So reading the terms;
    If you get it checked and its non-compliant you get 6 weeks to fix it.

    Note: If a notice for non-compliance, the Client will have six weeks to comply with the terms of the notice. If not complied with, the notice will then be forwarded to the local council. However, if the pool is deemed a risk to public safety, the notice will be forwarded immediately.

    • Hi,
      On our website see the 'Pool Safety Checklist' page. The second paragraph with the 7 tips will give you the best chance to pass first time.

    So you guys charge $375 less the $150 discount. So final cost is $225.

    I just got mine inspected from my local council and they charged me $150.
    No deal!

    • Yes, that's correct.
      All NSW Councils are capped at $150.
      However, depending on your area, private certifiers are sometimes much quicker in issuing the CoC.
      We inspect within days of an appointment request and most of our CoC's are issued within 24 hours of doing the inspection.
      Also a private certifier's scope of work is only related to the safety of the pool or spa, some customers prefer that.

        So in essence, you are at least 50% more expensive than every NSW council, and you only service in NSW. You also have a smaller scope of work.

        Your only positive sell is that you inspect within days and issue the certificate within 24 hours, but honestly who gives a stuff about the time it takes for you to issue a certificate?

        This is OzBargain and I think you've missed the mark here. You are just advertising on this site and not providing a bargain. Therefore negative vote from me.

        • Read my previous post to you!
          It's easy mate, go and do a google search on private certifiers and see what others charge.
          Then get back to me and tell him how many are charging over $300!
          Council do their own thing and private certifiers do theirs.

  • Registering swimming pools includes any pool that holds 300mm of water or more

    • Registering swimming pools includes any pool that holds 300mm of water or more

      People shouldn't register their pools. Councils have already approved the pools and certified their fences at the time of construction so they should be updating the bullshit register and if they don't have complete records they should be penalised not the pool owner.

      • What next, bath tub registration and inspection? Nanny state…

  • Hmmm thought if it's owner occupied then you don't really need or at least have the urgency to get it inspected/complied? Got mine done and the follow up was a $1600 bill to rectify something that's worthy of a Darwin Award….to raise part of my external fence to stop people from climbing the fence into my property and go drown themselves.

    I said to the bloke you can't be fkn serious?

      In Queensland you have to fix the fence even if there is another pool directly on the other side of it! Yep you have to make sure you cannot possibly climb from one pool to another.

      Not to mention homes that are on canals have to be fenced but the canals do not, even the side of the pool that is on the canal has to be fenced in case someone comes in from the canal side and drowns.

      Dams also do not have to fenced. There is a family up at Toowoomba who have lost two children around a year apart who walked out of the home, past the fenced pool and drowned in the same dam.

      Six children drowned in dams in a two week period in QLD.

  • Ive always wondered- i have an inflatable pool which i use as a ball pit for kids and adults. Do i need to register it and have a fence around it?

  • I had my pool approved by Phoebe Cates. Or maybe it was just a dream-sequence :-(

    I fail to see what you exactly do for money? Unless the pool laws are retrospective, which they aren't, all you're really doing is giving the owners a state of knowledge that their pools are non compliant. In that case they must act, which means $175 saving is a drop in the ocean compared to what most would have to fork out to make their pools compliant. If you have a pool good luck with this deal because the laws change pretty much every year.

    • Unless the pool laws are retrospective, which they aren't, all you're really doing is giving the owners a state of knowledge that their pools are non compliant.

      They are in Queensland and this was after they announced new pool fence laws around five years earlier that many people updated their fences to and now many are no longer compliant with the new laws. Some can never be fully compliant like myself who has a pool that was certified by the council in the 70's when it was installed but it's now near impossible to make it compliant without spending a small fortune which will not make it any safer.

      Supervise your children in the backyard, the pool fence is not some magic child minder.

        Your right, fences don't stop children, they just teleport through them.

    • A Certificate of Compliance is valid for 3 years.
      And is transferable if the property is sold to new owners.

  • I haven't been able to sleep since my loved ones are in danger….. how many souls did you end up saving? and what exactly is E1?
