We want you to love your pool forever, not just during that euphoric "honeymoon" stage of the first swim season. To that end, we put together the lowest maintenance pool packages, for both the short term and long term. Whether you have a PebbleTec finish, Quartz finish, gelcoat or solid surface, we want the pool experience to be easy and fun.

By offering to build both fiberglass pools and concrete (gunite) pools, you'll be able to choose the lowest maintenance pool for you and be starting out a step ahead of all your friends with a traditional, concrete pool. You not only eliminate the impending doom of a resurface job by choosing one of our life-time surfaces, you hardly have to do any daily maintenance. Maybe about 15-30 minutes a week, but it's definitely not hard labor. More than likely, you'll goof around acting like you're cleaning the pool...in a convenient way to get out of doing other laborious household chores. (Believe me, I've been there!)

With our fiberglass surfaces, you don't even need the brush really, but brush if you must. We provide you with one because they look good hanging on the wall. All you really need the brush for is to loosen any debris that may be clinging to the sides, but that's nothing a bunch of kids in the pool can't do. So if you don't have kids, a brush is a more of a must. Unless of course you're a pretty vigorous swimmer. We also recommend cartridge filters. We can put on any filter you'd like, but we like the cartridge because it the easiest to maintain. No need to backwash or continually add DE or sand. It does a fine job and it doesn't create another annoying monthly chore you. Don't we all have enough of those anyway?

Your pool will come with an in-line chlorinator. This is a very simple solution for a simple job. Most pools require very little chlorine. We also offer chlorine generators, known commonly as salt systems. Most of our concrete pool projects utilize salt chlorinators. There are some really cool ones out there that are all automatic and timed and do everything for you (not the dishes). They are pricey but they are nice. Do you need a fancy system like this? No, but do we really need power windows, power locks, power sunroofs and cd players in our cars? Well, if you put it that way....

Your pool will also come with an automatic timer. This will turn on and off your pump at set times. A must have. Your pool will also come with some sort of decking, made usually of pavers or concrete. The concrete can by acrylic-coated and painted for a beautiful finish. Both the pavers and the concrete can be brushed with a clear coat to provide for even easier maintenance and a nice shine. It's up to you. We’ve also done some more exotic things like stamped concrete and flagstone decks. These are some of the characteristics of a Mermaid Pool. If there is anything specifically you would like to add to your pool, we would be happy to do so. Just let us know.
