About Anglo American Pools

Anglo American Pools is an independent editorial resource covering pool construction, automatic pool covers, pool equipment systems, commercial pool planning and project procurement.

Our mission

We publish practical, specification-led guidance that helps people plan, specify and evaluate swimming pool systems before they commit to contracts, equipment purchases or construction decisions.

Our content distinguishes three things explicitly:

• Documented product capabilities — what manufacturers publish in data sheets, installation manuals and technical literature;
• General engineering principles — hydraulics, water treatment and safety fundamentals supported by published standards;
• Project-specific considerations — decisions that depend on your site, climate, budget and regulations, and which require a qualified designer, engineer or contractor.

Who we write for

• Pool contractors and builders coordinating construction, equipment packages and cover integration;
• Pool designers and consultants planning equipment rooms, plumbing and cover tracks;
• Hotels, resorts, developers and facility managers operating commercial pools;
• Distributors and dealers comparing product specifications;
• Property owners who want to understand pool structure, equipment and safety systems before signing a contract.

What we do not do

• We do not provide local installation, repair or maintenance services;
• We do not present general information as project engineering or a substitute for local codes;
• We do not fabricate testing, project experience or credentials.

How we research, verify and update content is documented in our editorial policy. The people behind the site are listed on the contributors page, and factual errors can be reported through our corrections process. Start with the pool planning hub if you want the published guides.
