We’ve all had to make the dreaded call to the cable company.  You could be getting new service or something needs to be fixed, either way you get an inconvenient five hour window that holds you and your day hostage until the technician arrives.  Furthermore, you don’t know who to expect, if you have a family at home this can be a discomforting thought as you allow someone into your home.  While technology has allowed some of these inconveniences to improve, when it comes to your pool’s regular maintenance and service there is a whole new level of communication that gives you back your day and your peace of mind.

It’s that time of the year where school is almost out for summer.  But before that final bell rings, papers are thrown in the air, and excited kids exit the halls until fall, is your pool ready for a long, hot, busy summer?  For the health and safety of your pool, and your guests an effective maintenance plan is necessary.  If you have a new pool, are new to owning a pool, or just need a quick refresher on how to care for the water and equipment, you may want to consider enrolling in Pool School before class is dismissed.

If you’re considering having a pool built at your home, you’ll have a lot options.  Everything from design to landscaping to furniture to additional features can seem overwhelming.  But one of the first decisions to make is the material that you want your pool to be made of.  There are liner pools, fiberglass pools, and gunite pools.  Two of these choices you may be familiar with, you’re also likely familiar with the third, but possibly by a different name; which begs the question, “what is gunite?"

Many things on their own are pretty great as they are.  Chocolate, peanut butter, refrigerator, freezer, phone, mp3 player.  However, when combined they become something greater than the sum of their parts.  This is synergy at its finest, and the same is true when it comes to designing your pool and spa.  While independently they both offer a number of benefits, comfort, and value.  With a custom, contemporary design, combining your hot tub with your pool enhances everything from aesthetics to functionality.
