Swimming Pool and Spa Association of QLD

Welcome to SPASA QUEENSLAND

HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?

The Swimming Pool & Spa Association of Queensland Inc. (SPASA) is a non-profit trade association dedicated to maintaining and improving standards within the industry for the betterment of consumers, pool builders and suppliers.

There are many issues and problems affecting the industry and consumers that are either impossible or too great for any one business or person to handle effectively. This is why the industry itself has formed a mutually beneficial, co-operative and non-profit trade association.

Why Choose a SPASA Member?

THE BENEFITS OF USING A SPASA MEMBER

Unlike home construction, Swimming Pool Construction is not protected in Queensland by mandatory government insurance. Only SPASA Members can provide a ‘SPASA Recommended’ Contract, and, ‘Watertight Contract Benefits’ to protect consumers for the building, installing or renovation of pools. SPASA Members have access to technical training and educational programs designed to ensure their construction staff perform with technical excellence. So, for your own peace of mind, and to protect your rights as a consumer, choose a SPASA Member to build, install or renovate your pool.

Eco Pools

SELF-SUFFICIENT SWIMMING POOLS

SPASA Queensland has introduced an accreditation program, 'Ecopool', that encourages and acknowledges those current pool owners and prospective pool buyers as responsible citizens in Queensland who want to enjoy the domestic lifestyle that comes with having a swimming pool - whilst not using a drop of precious tap water.

About SPASA

The swimming pool & spa industry is made up of many businesses such as builders, manufacturers, installers, renovators, equipment & chemical suppliers, materials suppliers, retailers or consultants, in fact any provider of goods or services to the either the industry or consumers that source all or part of their income from the construction, installation, renovation, repair or servicing of swimming pools and spas.

There are many issues and problems affecting the industry and consumers that are either impossible or too great for any one business or person to handle effectively. This is why the industry itself has formed a mutually beneficial, co-operative and non-profit trade association.

Self regulation, self discipline and self assessment of our Members, a strict Code of Ethics, an effective Consumer Meditation Service and the adoption of various codes of practice has helped the association reach a point where its members are perceived within the marketplace to have an image that promotes confidence to consumers that they will receive a quality product or service at a reasonable price.

The provision of Watertight Contract Completion Benefits to consumers enhances and reinforces this image in the marketplace, and can be seen by various authorities to be a positive consumer benefit.

SPASA has had a major influence in areas such as pool safety, fencing, chemical packaging & storage, industry standards, sales tax, and consumer legislation.

SPASA works toward keeping its members well informed, deals with government and other centres of influence on their behalf, and provides meaningful information and services to consumers that deal with its members.

SPASA has given its members a consumer credibility and confidence in the market place that others simply do not have.
