What types of pools do you service?
At this time, we only service inground residential pools. Indoor and outdoor.
How do I vacuum my pool?
1. Connect vacuum hose to vacuum head, then connect the vacuum head to the vacuum pole.
2. Place vacuum head in the water.
3. Select the skimmer you would like to vacuum from, close off all other skimmer lines. Leaving the skimmer you selected open.
4. Place the other end of the vacuum hose in front of a return to fill your hose with water.
5. When the hose is full, securely place hose in the hole at the bottom of the skimmer.
6. You are ready to start vacuuming! Make sure to move slowly to try and avoid kicking up excess debris.
Hint: If you have too much suction, you can slowly start to open another skimmer till you have reached your desired amount of suction.
"I want a new pool but don't know where to start"
It is a good idea to have an idea of what you are looking for in a pool when you start the process so we can get you the most accurate quote as possible. Here are a few questions that we will likely ask you when we begin this process:
1. Are you looking for an above ground or inground?
2. Will it be indoor or outdoor?
3. What size? (All of our pools are custom but the most common sizes are 16'x32', 18'x36', or 20'x40')
4. Do you want an autocover?
5. Do you want a salt pool or chlorine pool?
6. Do you want lights? If so, how many? Colored, White, or LED?
7. Do you want a diving board, slide, basketball, or volleyball?
8.Do you want everything tied together through an automation panel that can be connected to your phone?
9. What depth are you looking for? Do you want a sun deck or a bench? (If you tell us who is all going to be using the pool we can give you our recommendations on what style of pool bottom is best for your family.)
10. Do you want an automatic pool cleaner?
