Pool Land

About Pool Land

Based on Moorhouse Avenue in Addington, Pool Land is a Christchurch swimming pool contractor and supplier holding a 4.0-star rating from 66 reviews, known for liner pools, spa pools, swim spas, and free in-store water testing.

Choosing a good swimming pool contractor often comes down to how well they guide you through long-term care rather than just the initial build. A reliable specialist can explain the practical differences between modular liner pools, in-ground setups, and compact swim spas, ensuring the footprint suits both local ground conditions and council fencing requirements. They also take the guesswork out of ongoing chemistry, offering regular water analysis and advice on filtration to keep sanitiser levels balanced without damaging equipment. Regular pool owners know that having a trusted local technician to troubleshoot pumps, heating, and seasonal maintenance makes all the difference.

For Christchurch households planning a new pool or keeping an existing one running smoothly, this Addington showroom provides a handy central base.

Pool Land Christchurch: Sterns Pools, Swim Spas and 30 Years of Water Wisdom

On Moorhouse Avenue in Addington, Pool Land has spent more than three decades doing one thing exceptionally well: getting Christchurch families into their own water. The team there brings over 30 years of experience supplying and installing swimming and spa pools across the city, and the whole operation is built around a simple belief — a swimming pool is a luxury that brings families and friends together, a place where memories last a lifetime. Their tagline says a crystal clear pool is a call away, and customer reviews suggest they take it seriously.

The Sterns Partnership

Pool Land specialises in liner swimming pools and has held the role of New Zealand Master Agent for the highly regarded Sterns range for more than 20 years. That long partnership shapes what's on offer: Sterns modular pools suit both in-ground and above-ground installations and come in round, oval and rectangle shapes, which means the pool is configured around your section rather than the other way around. Whether the brief is a compact round pool or a full-length rectangle, the flexibility of the modular system is the point.

For those after something bigger, Pool Land also sells a swim spa range it describes as New Zealand's best value. The Ellesmere is the accessible entry point, the Scarborough steps up in size for family swimming, and the Fiordland sits at the top of the line-up for committed swimmers. Spa accessories and a full suite of spa parts — pumps, controllers and heaters, head rests and jets — are stocked alongside.

Everything Around the Pool, Under One Roof

Step inside (or browse online) and the depth of the range becomes obvious. Accessories run from covers and cover rollers to ladders, pool lights and filters. The parts wall covers pumps, pool liners, plumbing and pipe fittings and Para and Paramount spares, down to details like back-mount pressure gauges. Chemicals are grouped into sanitiser, balance and specialty lines, with skimmers to keep the surface clean.

Cleaning and maintenance gets its own section too: automatic cleaners, chemical feeders and everyday cleaning equipment. One reviewer bought a Bad Boy pool cleaner there and reported it "clears all the debris from the bottom of the pool and saves hours in labour." And because Canterbury evenings can be crisp, heating is well covered with heat pumps, solar heating and thermometers.

Services That Keep Water Clear

Pool Land is as much a service business as a shop. The team designs and installs swimming pools, services and maintains pools and spas, and offers free water testing — bring in a sample and you'll leave with an analysis and printed instructions. One reviewer called the water analysis process "amazingly easy," while another, a first-time pool owner, credited the owners with great support, including altering custom equipment to suit a genuinely old-fashioned pool.

Installation is quoted per project, since location, type and size all shape the final cost, so the advice is simple: get in touch for a detailed price.

Why Locals Keep Coming Back

Reviews name Matt and the ownership team repeatedly — "bent over backwards to help us with our spa pool" is typical of the feedback. Shoppers describe knowledgeable, friendly staff, reasonable prices compared with nearby places, and service that turns pool upkeep "from a chore into a pleasant shopping experience."

Beyond the counter, orders ship fast throughout New Zealand, products are backed by industry warranties and support, and the team invites email queries about any pool or spa topic, any time. That combination — three decades of hands-on experience, the Sterns master agency, a genuinely wide catalogue and free advice at the desk — is why Pool Land's mission of delivering "the best swimming pool and spa pool experience ever" rings true. If the goal is transforming a backyard into paradise, this is where many Christchurch households start.
