Dolphin Pools

Dolphin Pools Ltd is a Maltese swimming pool company that builds, renovates and looks after pools for homes, hotels and commercial sites. It has a Malta office on E. Garibaldi Street in Marsa and a Gozo office at Triq l-Isptar in Fontana. The business takes on any type of pool contract, locally and overseas, and points to a large portfolio of outdoor, indoor and rooftop pools.

For UK readers who own or plan to buy a villa, farmhouse or apartment with a pool, a local contractor and supplier is a practical contact. You can browse similar firms in our directory of pool services in Malta and our directory of swimming pools in Malta.

Building and renovating pools

New pool construction starts with agreeing a design that fits the property and your style, including the size, shape and depth. Finishes on offer are liner, mosaic, tile or plaster, and the team stresses attention to detail so that the pool is built without leaks or defects. Coping, the edge that separates the pool structure from the surrounding deck, can be chosen from a large inventory to shape the overall look.

Liner installation is available for pools, balance tanks and wells, and is described as a widely used waterproofing system that is fast to install and watertight, with a 10 year guarantee. Overflow channels can be lined in fibreglass finished in white gel coat. Saltwater pool systems are also offered, which keep water clean with less eye and skin irritation than chemically chlorinated pools.

Maintenance, repairs and safety

Dolphin Pools provides weekly maintenance for home and commercial pools, as well as cleaning, repairs and renovations. Technical repairs cover components that are not running as they should, and pool inspections check the essential elements to decide what needs fixing before the swimming season. Damaged PVC pipework can be removed and replaced, and remote monitoring with newer chemical systems means a pool professional keeps an eye on your water.

For families with young children, the company installs baby lock fences that fully enclose the pool, with gate locks. Remember that this is general information, and an owner should ask the company about the right safety arrangements for a specific property.

Projects, spas and the online shop

The portfolio includes residential pools, rooftop and indoor pools, spa systems, water blades, glass panels and safety fences, along with projects at hotels and leisure sites such as Laguna in Portomaso, the Grand Hotel Excelsior in Floriana, Palazzo Vittoriosa and the MFA pool complex at Ta' Qali.

The shop lists 129 products, including chemicals, filtration, testing equipment, cleaning equipment, automatic cleaners and items required by Malta legislation, from brands such as Amik, Aquacheck, Astral, Fairlocks and Hayward. Examples are a 45CM wall brush at €14.35, a liquid test kit at €22.00, a small chemical package at €170.00 and an F1 RXT robotic pool cleaner at €1,950.00.
