What is the time frame to build a pool?
Before we actually build the pool we have to go through the engineering and permitting process. The engineer creates the blueprints that will be presented to the building department to obtain a permit and that generally takes about a week. Then after approving the plans they are sent to the building department in your specific municipality.
What is a salt water pool and what are the advantages?
In terms of a residential swimming pool the term salt water pool means a pool that has a salt chlorinating system. This system is comprised of a control panel and a conversion cell, both located at the pool equipment, and simple table salt added directly to the pool water. A properly salted pool contains 3,000 parts per million of salt to water whereas the ocean contains an average of 35,000 parts per million, so you can see that there is actually very little salt in your pool water.
How much does a pool cost?
This is not an easy one to answer because there are many different features that can be added to a pool which may or may not be included in the price. Furthermore, all pools are not built the same. Each company has there own set of specifications that they build to. The county has a minimum standard, but a quality builder like Creative Backyards, Inc. will apply techniques that supersede those minimum standards.
How deep can I build my pool?
That depends on a few different factors. The main factor being the size of the pool, or more accurately the length of the pool. To meet the current code requirements for the slope of the pool floor, which is quite different than it was several years ago, the pool would have to be rather long to achieve a 6′ or greater depth, making it cost prohibitive in most cases.
What is a variable speed pump?
Variable speed pumps are one of the newest items in the pool industry. These pumps automatically monitor and adjust flow rates to optimize performance and minimize energy use. They have an on board computer that will calculate and program minimum flow requirements for every pool task and as the task changes the pump will self adjust to maintain optimal flow rates for further energy savings. They are extremely efficient and produce far less heat and vibration resulting in less stress and wear on the pump so it has a longer life.
How messed up will my yard get if I build a pool?
I like to say that we come in like the fog on little cat’s feet which is taken from a Carl Sandburg poem. Actually we come in many times with large equipment, multiple crews and vehicles. Sounds bad doesn’t it. Building a pool can be a bit messy at times, but a good company like Creative Backyards, Inc. will keep the job-site clean throughout, so the work area remains safe for you and your family. Then when finished the entire affected areas including the access will be graded and raked clean of all debris and top dressed with sand so all you have to do is drop the sod down.
