A major pool company has collapsed, leaving as many as 80 clients desperately trying to get deposits worth tens of thousands of dollars back.

Nyerse Constructions Pty. Ltd, which trades under the name of Pools R Us and is based in melbourne/index.html” id=”mol-d6f37ff0-0e0d-11ee-9bbd-037dc452b86f” target=”_self”>Melbourne, went into liquidation on June 1. 

The family-run business’s downfall has left clients in limbo with little or no communication about what will happen to their pools, or their money.

Many paid hefty deposits upfront after signing contracts only to later learn the company didn’t order a building permit or buy insurance for the works – meaning some clients may struggle to get their money back. 

The Pools R Us website has been removed while phone numbers for the business and Nyerse Constructions have been disconnected.

An email to clients sent on May 31 said the director, Chris Rhodes, was undergoing treatment for a health issue that was ‘taking a very heavy toll’ on his family and the business.
