The rising cost of energy have you concerned? Whether you are looking at building a pool, remodeling your exsisting pool, or upgrading your pump, Pentair Pool Products are they most eco-friendly products in the world for swimming pools.

Wondering what type of decking you want around your in ground swimming pool. This video shows the installation of a stamped deck we did around a vinyl liner pool. The stamp pattern is called fractured earth or cracked earth, whichever you prefer.

When customers first start researching an inground pool, they will invariably ask which is better, fiberglass or vinyl liner?  Our response is that it is pretty much what you, as the customer, prefers.  Each type of inground has pros and cons, which we address on our website.

One potential negative about a vinyl liner pool is that you will have to change the liner at some point during the life of the pool.  We find that typically a liner will last about eight years.  While that can be a negative, lets look at the other side of the coin.  In the video below the owner purchased the home and the pool was in pretty rough shape.  While the pool looks rough, by simply changing the liner the pool was well on its way to being an attraction instead of an eye sore!  So having the ability to change the liner in this situation was a huge plus.  In one day the pool went from unusable to looking like an almost new pool.  Watch the video below and see the transformation yourself!

This video shows an inground equipment pad setup using a Hayward ProGrid DE filter. DE filters are the best filter you can buy in terms of how effecient they are. The one drawback is dealing with DE powder when you backwash and or clean the filter.

This short video shows an equipment pad for a inground vinyl liner pool. The filter is a Hayward C-900 cartridge filter. Water is moved by a 1hp Hayward superpump. A Heatpro heatpump from Hayward along with an Aqua-Rite salt system round out the setup.

This is a short video showing the process when troweling the bottom in on a vinyl liner inground pool. You can see how we start with nothing but dirt and gravel, and trowel the base material over that untill the bottom is finished.

This is a video showing the pump and filter system we use on our above ground pools. We use a combo system from Hayward that is the pump and filter combined.

In this video you can watch the process for changing the liner in an above ground pool. We changed this liner in the early spring. It was raining every day at that point. You will notice the standing water in the yard because of it.

We have posted articles talking about how vinyl liners fade. In this short video you can see exactly how a liner will start to fade. The water line is where you start to really see it go. Most liners will have a border pattern around the top. The water level in a pool will be right in the middle of that border. Because of this the bottom half of the border fades out, while the top half stays looking fairly good. The part of the liner that is under water will all fade the same, so it is sometimes hard to tell how bad that it is. Not so with the border.

There really can’t be that much difference in above ground pool liners, right? Well you are right. The main difference in them is the way that they hang on the pool wall. Other than that they are pretty much the same. There are differences in pattern styles you can choose from but you are talking cosmetics now and not function.
