Summer has arrived and outdoor living spaces are slowly coming to life with the smell of fresh flowers, new patio furniture and embellishing, and the sounds of laughter and livelihood from families and friends enjoying each others’ company and the outdoors.  The possibilities are endless with the ability to customize outdoor living space to one’s preference, and with an array of options available from the structures to the décor, it is made easy to create the look and feel each consumer desires.

It’s hard to believe it, but summer is going to be here before we know it.  Soon you’ll want to spend some time relaxing by the pool recharging your mental batteries.

It may seem like common sense, but I think the most important aspect of owning a pool should be  POOL SAFETY.

I always make it a point to talk to folks who are considering building a pool, that they can’t pay too much attention to Safety.

Several online sources site approx. 3,500 people die each year from accidental drowning in pools, most of which are children.

Here are some helpful things to consider before hitting the water this year.

ool season will soon be here.  With this blog I intend to clear up some common myths about swimming pools.  I know all of you don’t own a swimming pool, but I’m sure you have friends, family, or neighbors that do.  So I hope you are able to share this with them.

Myth #1  You should run your filter system always at night time.

The truth is the best time to run your filter is during the daytime.  This is when it is the hottest and the sun is out.   Algae starts to form when the water isn’t circulating.  Yes, I understand the electric rates are the lowest at nighttime, but you will spend more than you save trying to clear up a green pool.
