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! 
Sincerely,
Pete Coccaro
Owner Nautilus Pools
President Florida Swimming Pool Association

Great D-I-Y Project

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.

Hey, if you've tried any of the DIY projects we've posted, send us your photos and a description. We'd love to see them and maybe we'll feature them in a future newsletter!

Featured Pool
Nautilus Pools FSPA Contest Entry#1
 |
The house and contemporary styled pool are built on pilings 14 feet above the existing
flood grade. Under the pool are a dedicated equipment room, bathroom and walk-thru
(from the front of the house to the beach).
The goal was to build the pool so that there would be no seepage issues to the rooms
below the pool. To ensure consistency and a warm sanitized pool/spa when the client is in town a heat pump plus a gas heater, and
2 salt chlorine generators were installed.
|
|
 | |
The entire pool, spa, catch basin, sunledge and infinity edge are located on the second floor. The oversized sunledge allows a line of sight from the front yard to the Gulf.
|
 | |
Over 600 sq.ft. of Canadian 2x2 textured glass tile was used at the waterline as well as on the sunledge, and on the 360 degree edge spa and infinity edge wall. The Sky Blue Pebble Tec adds the final touch to this contemporary home design.
