Water Features
Water features can be designed as single elements flowing into a pool, spa or from a spa into a pool.
They can be constructed of natural materials (granite, limestone, blue stone, etc.), cultured stone or a combination of both.
Slides
A fun addition to your pool.
Lighting
Light up your night with
colored SAM, LED or
Fiber Optic.
Pool Controls
The right controls can save energy because they run the systems only at preset times.
However, they can be reset to manual for emergencies.
Quality Design Pools recommends Hayward Goldline, Jandy Aqualink and Pentair IntelliTouch.
Pool Cleaners
The Polaris and the Hayward Viper are easily lifted from the pool when the pool is to be used. Their mesh bags are easily cleaned out.
Quality Design Pools recommends Polaris, Hayward Viper (similar to the Polaris) and Paramount Pools 'Pool Valet', (which is a floor system).
