The office specializes in estate gardens and has worked in Canada and the United States. It has been our pleasure to work on numerous swimming pools with Alka Pool Construction Ltd. > > Our office focuses on unique pool, spa, and fountain construction. These complex designs require a team effort to accomplish results that push creativity. Alka Pool is always accommodating and a valuable component of the design team. They are not only professional at every level but fun to work with. I highly recommend their company to anyone who is looking to enhance their property with a swimming pool or spa. **★★★★★ — wayne keiser, June 2017** > ALKA did a great job though out the entire project. All staff were very professional and excellent to work with. Our pool is an infinity edge pool located on a solid bedrock cliff with and underground pump house with a concrete patio on top. This was a technically challenging installation that ALKA completed on time and budget..........and were very good to work with. > > I highly recommend ALKA for pool and spa construction. **★★★★★ — alrorison, Dec. 2015** > A concrete bunker for the pool mechanical with sitting area above was built by others. Alka Pool built hot tub and pool with infinity edge and swim up bar stools. The cabana bar was later built by others. **★★★★★ — User, Dec. 2015** > We had a vision for our pool and Alka Pools made it a reality. The site was very challenging, both in terms of access for equipment and materials and because it was a very tight space. As well, the pool was blasted out of a solid granite outcropping at the edge of the ocean. Alka Pools met the challenge and produced a masterpiece that both compliments and blends with the natural beauty surrounding this location. **★★★★★ — Instyle Tilecraft Ltd., Dec. 2014** > I have worked as a tile subcontractor for ALKA POOL for over 20 years. There is no other pool company who stands behind their name as ALKA POOL. With their high standards and excellence in innovation it has a pleasure to be a part of the ALKA experience. **★★★★★ — michaelscholz1, Sept. 2014** > Completed the pool and hot tub and deck area and equipment in the pool room. Extremely professional very good work. **★★★★★ — homeaholic, Aug. 2014** > Alka pool created the most beautiful pool for us. We never cover it as it glows at night and is like a piece of art in our backyard. Our house would not be the same without it! **★★★★★ — mfranick, March 2014** > From the initial consultation to the after completion service the Alka Pool "family" was a pleasure to work with and managed our expectations fully. I will highly recommend them to anyone. **★★★★★ — User, Oct. 2012** > Alka Pool Construction bought the first automatic pool cover we ever supplied to the industry. That was almost 35 years ago! This gives Alka Pools the distinction of being our oldest client and friend. While that is a great and honorable talking point, we also appreciate the designs that they bring to the table and workmanship that Alka exhibits on all of their projects in the field, as shown in the many pools of theirs that are shown in our photo gallery. I've seen some designs coming up in the near future, and we are excited to be a part of those too, and cannot wait to see the finsihed product. ## Selected projects - [Therapeutic Spa](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/therapeutic-spa-pj-vj~6200950) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - Description: This extensive project included both an outdoor Sophisticated Pool Renovation and a brand new indoor Therapeutic Spa.

A: Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, chillers are available on the market for cooling. **Q: Is there filter system in this pool?** *(in Photo Questions)* Where would you store it? Can you give a reference where it could be bought? A: Thank you for your inquiry. This is a custom concrete plunge pool with the equipment in a mechanical room in another part of the house. We specialize in these completely custom poolscapes. **Q: Plaster color** *(in Photo Questions)* I’m doing a custom blend of Diamond Bright and was wondering what this blend is? It’s beautiful. A: Thank you for your inquiry. This is a proprietary Alka Pool custom blend that unfortunately we cannot give out, but essentially, it's a standard white plaster. **Q: What are the dimensions including depth?** *(in Photo Questions)* I want to build a plunge pool and the smaller the better. Also wondering how deep it should be. In Gratitude, Stephen A: Thank you for your inquiry. This cold plunge pool is 3'0" x 4'6" with a depth of 3'6". Depth varies according to individual experience and preference but the average is 4'0" deep. **Q: skimmer manufacturor** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you tell me what skimmer you used here? I’m trying to find one for a 12x22x2’ fountain with 8” thick walls. Thank you A: Thank you for your inquiry and we hope you were able to find the information that our president posted above. Should you have any further questions please don't hesitate to contact us. **Q: What material did you install on terrace? natural stone? get hot?** *(in Photo Questions)* I like the material on the terrace A: Thank you for your inquiry.
