The Perfect "Storm"
Season starting, Snowbirds coming back, Economy on a comeback and another cold Winter for the Northern states...all add up to the perfect storm of new pool projects for us! Now don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. After so many years of a flat economy we're happy to be talking to prospective clients and even happier to be building dream pools.

One of the best aspects of this business, for me, is designing the pools. It allows me to release my creative juices and solve interesting challenges of fitting a pool to a site and adding artistic details.

The Florida Swimming Pool Association offers a chance for pool companies to show off their projects with a yearly contest. This year we've designed and installed some interesting pools and we've entered 3 of them in the contest. We'll be featuring them in this newsletter over the next few months and hopefully come February, maybe one of them will join our past winners on our office photo wall.

Our first featured project is the pool (photo above) built on 14' pilings, read the whole story in the column to the right.

Have a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Great D-I-Y Project

 

Palm Tree Stump Planters
Palm Tree Stump Planters
  This is a great idea that not only adds some green to your lanai, but also recycles! If you or a neighbor has had to cut down a palm tree this is a great way to reuse the trunk. Just cut into pieces (varying heights are most interesting) carve out some of the fiber from the interior, fill with soil and plant a favorite herb or even a cascading plant.
Before planting pour some water into the center to make sure it will drain through the fibrous center. If not, drill some holes straight through to the bottom.

Baby, It's Cold Outside!

Heat Pumps!

Cooler weather (and cooler water temperatures) are right around the corner. If you don't already have a heat pump for your swimming pool, now is the time to make an appointment with Nautilus to see which model is best. The Hayward pumps that we offer are high performance, energy-efficient, quiet and economical - all while consistently maintaining your ideal water temperature.

The Hayward HeatPro incorporates titanium heat exchangers- designed for durability and efficiency to ensure maximum heat transfer and resistance to harsh pool chemicals. There are models available for new pools as well as replacements for existing units.

It comes with five fixed colors and seven color-changing shows and can be integrated with the Pro Logic automation control, for eleven themed light shows, plus other customizable shows and a total spectrum of over 101 colors.
You can automate your entire backyard and take the work out of owning a pool by automating virtually every function on your pool pad...including filter, heater, pump, PH and sanitization. It also lets you control a variety of ancillary functions like patio and yard lights, pond pumps and fire pits!
