With over 53 years of experience, Aquarian Pools of Columbia has been a trusted name in pool construction and warranty services. Founded in 1971 by Willian M. (Bill) Muller, the company has built a strong reputation for quality residential and commercial pools in South Carolina and North Carolina.
Bill, an All-American swimmer, graduated from the University of South Carolina in 1968 with a degree in marketing. He later served in the Army national Guard as a helicopter pilot for 13 years while pursuing his dream of establishing a swimming pool business.

Selecting a pool builder is a big decision—be sure to ask the right questions:
At Aquarian Pools, customer service is our top priority. With decades of experience, unmatched construction expertise, and a commitment to excellence, we strive to exceed expectations at every step. When you choose us, you’re choosing quality, reliability, and a team that puts your satisfaction first.
A low-cost pool may seem appealing, but cutting corners on equipment, materials, craftsmanship, and design can lead to long-term issues. The saying holds true: You get what you pay for.
At Aquarian Pools, we believe quality shouldn’t be out of reach. The difference between a great pool and a poorly built one doesn’t have to come down to cost. Our team works with you to establish a budget and secure financing options that fit your needs. We design pools that align with your financial goals while delivering lasting beauty, durability, and value.
The price of a pool goes beyond its size and shape. Many contractors leave out key cost factors in their estimates, but we prioritize full transparency. The true value of a pool includes:
Aquarian Pools provides honest, upfront estimates that include top-quality materials, expert craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and exceptional customer service. We never lure customers in with low introductory bids only to add costly changes later. Remember: Quality work is never cheap, and cheap work is never quality.
At Aquarian Pools, we specialize in building pools for yards of all shapes and sizes—even the most challenging properties. Our expert design and engineering team turns obstacles into opportunities, bringing your vision to life with creative, innovative solutions. Don’t let a small yard or hillside location hold you back—contact us for a free design consultation and discover what’s possible!
An Aquarian Pools design expert will visit your home to discuss your vision, whether it’s for exercise, family fun, or enhancing your outdoor space. They’ll consider the best placement for aesthetics and functionality, capturing photos, videos, and sketches as needed. From there, we’ll create a custom pool design – tailored to your needs and budget – at no cost to you!
Construction costs for the pool structure itself typically don’t vary much from one project to another. While factors like property access, demolition needs, and local permit fees can influence the price, the size and design of the pool have a smaller impact than you might expect.
The biggest cost variations come from the “hardscape”—the elements surrounding your pool that enhance its design. Decks, patios, waterfalls, gazebos, planter walls, and other features can range from simple to spectacular. As the customer, you have the most influence on your overall budget, as you control the style and materials used in the hardscape design.
Yes! It’s Easy: Financing approval is quick and simple—done over the phone with documents delivered right to your home.
Inexpensive: Thanks to our high volume, we work with the top lenders in the industry to offer you competitive rates.
Tax Smart: The interest you pay is tax-deductible, reducing your taxable income. Plus, your Aquarian Pool will add value to your home over the years.
You can also use your pool financing to fund other home improvement projects or pay off high-interest, non-deductible credit card debt. This often results in savings that can help cover the cost of your home upgrades.
Warranties matter. At Aquarian Pools, we offer the strongest guarantee in the swimming pool industry because we stand behind the quality of our work. When comparing estimates from other builders, always ask about the warranty details. Remember, a warranty is only as reliable as the company behind it.
Aquarian Pools has been building pools since 1972, and we design our pools to last. You can count on us to support your pool for years to come. While many builders offer a “lifetime warranty,” if they’re not around for the long haul, that warranty doesn’t carry much weight. With us, you’re assured lasting value and peace of mind.
Thanks to modern technology, owning a swimming pool is now easier than owning a car! With options like automated chemical testing, maintenance, cleaning, and preprogrammed filtration and heating, you can simplify pool care from the start. Automatic pool cleaners and advanced sanitizing systems make maintenance a breeze. In fact, many pools are more affordable and easier to care for than your lawn. Your biggest challenge will be finding more time to relax and enjoy your pool or spa!
Never! Even seasoned professionals face challenges during pool construction. However, years of experience, expertise, and training allow us to find smart solutions that result in high-quality finished products. At Aquarian Pools, we offer efficient purchasing power, fast construction timelines, and seamless coordination with all crews, ensuring a hassle-free experience with no headaches or unexpected costs. Rest assured, equipment suppliers and contractors may charge more than the actual value of the work, but with Aquarian Pools, you always come out on top with a well-built, guaranteed pool every time.
