The 2026 New Zealand Pool Spa Life Expo delivered a strong and resilient result for the industry, with a steady flow of engaged homeowners attending the Auckland Showgrounds across April 11–12.
Despite a forecasted cyclone over the weekend, the event saw impressive support from both visitors and exhibitors, highlighting the commitment and enthusiasm of the New Zealand market. Attendees arrived ready to explore their options, with many actively planning pool, spa and outdoor living projects and seeking expert advice to bring their ideas to life.
The Expo created valuable opportunities for SPASA members to connect with homeowners who were well-informed and motivated, leading to meaningful conversations and quality leads. Exhibitors reported strong interest across a wide range of offerings, with visitors keen to compare solutions and gain clarity on the latest products, technologies and design trends.
Visitors received the latest Pool Spa Life magazine on arrival, providing inspiration across outdoor design, equipment innovations, maintenance tips and award-winning projects. Those who didn't receive a copy, click here to read the digital edition.

The ability to speak directly with industry professionals and see products up close continues to be a key driver of attendance, giving homeowners confidence to move forward with their projects.
A highlight of the weekend was the Pool Spa Life Deck, hosted by Resident Builder Peter Wolfkamp, where visitors gained practical insights from industry experts on planning, building and maintaining pools and spas. These sessions provided valuable guidance for homeowners at all stages of their journey.
SPASA extends a sincere thank you to all exhibitors and visitors who contributed to making the New Zealand Pool Spa Life Expo a success.
