Create a backyard oasisIf you've ever considered installing a pool, there is no better time than now. Today's pools and spas are equipped with cutting edge technology that automates maintenance, ensures the highest water quality, and enables you to enjoy your pool and spa more.
If you have a small yard, you can still have an outdoor kitchen. You just have to be mindful of the space you need. Leave enough space for foot traffic around the kitchen area and standing space for anyone chatting with you or helping with the meal. And leave an area where people can socialize without being involved in the cooking.
Modern features let you:
- Make a phone call on your way home from work to heat up the hot tub
- Monitor and automate water temperatures from anywhere in your house
- Use a range of colored fiber optics to create any mood for nights by the pool
- Say bye-bye to red eye by safely reducing chlorine levels
- Sweep every inch of your pool with an automatic, silent vacuum
- Set your pool or'spa to adjust to changes in outdoor temperatures automatically
And you have more options in design than ever before, too.
- Install a hot tub adjacent to your pool for a true spa experience
- Landscape a waterfall into your pool to add the element of sound
- Have your pool mimic a beach with a graduating shallow end and wave setting
Getting started
It's key that you find the right builder. The sad fact is that there are unscrupulous builders leaving gaping holes in people's yards and running months beyond promised completion dates. But you can keep from having any problems if you take the following precautions:
- Find out how long have they been in business (usually the longer the better)
- insurance and belong to the NSPI-National Pool & Spa Institute
- Visit other pools the builder has built and ask previous customers about their experience
