Knowing the Safety and Planning Laws for Nelson
In New Zealand, there are pool safety and planning laws enforced. The specifics of these laws can differ though from area to area. This is what you need to know about Nelsons:
You may need a building consent for your new pool and it needs to comply with rules that are outlined in the building code. Pools less than 35,000 litres are exempt from needing a building consent.
Your new pool will have to be registered with Council and you must have pool inspections done every 3 years by either a Nelson City Council Officer or an independently qualified pool inspector (IQPI). You will be notified when your pool inspections are due and when an inspector will be visiting your home. You are responsible for the fee associated with the pool inspection.
Swimming and spa pools are deemed contamination hazards under the New Zealand Building Code, and it is your legal responsibility to ensure that your pool does not contaminate the public water supply.
You can avoid doing this by either:
Installing a hose-tap vacuum breaker on the hose that fills the pool or;
Installing a backflow prevention device where the water meter is on the property’s boundary.

Can I use my pool all year round with Nelson's weather?
While you could swim year-round in Nelson, whether you’d want to is a different story. As the weather cools off so does the water temperature, and paddling around in the pool isn’t likely going to be an enjoyable experience. Rather than putting your swimming on hold during winter, you can install a heating system to warm the water if this is something you’d like to be able to do. Nelson can get cold so having something like a heating system for your pool makes sense. You can warm the pool up on demand and swim for more months of the year than you perhaps would without one.
Fibreglass pools warm up efficiently, and due to their natural insulating properties, they stay warmer for longer. If a heating system is out of the budget, there are other alternatives such as solar blankets however you are unlikely to achieve the same kind of result with those. Additionally, the smaller your pool is, the quicker it will be to heat and more economical too. This is worth considering if you want to keep costs down.
