🏊♀️ REMEMBER THAT BIG POOL RENOVATION WE STARTED LAST FALL? WELL… HERE IT IS! 💦😍
Hi everyone!
Some of you may remember the rather LARGE pool renovation we started last fall. We've had people wondering whatever happened to that project, and we're excited to finally show you the results!
Well we got back and officially closed this beautiful pool for the winter yesterday, but not before getting some final photographs of the transformation!
And what a transformation it has been!
This pool began its life as an 18' x 36' inground diving pool, complete with a big, white fiberglass staircase tucked into the shallow-end corner.
There was just one little problem…
Our homeowner absolutely HATED those steps! 😂
She had always dreamed of having a beautiful sun ledge where she could relax and enjoy the water. So when she asked whether we could replace those old steps with something she'd actually love, our answer was simple:
OF COURSE WE CAN! And while we're at it, how about adding some bubblers to make it even more fun?! 💦
Now, here's where things got interesting!
Because this is a diving pool, we couldn't simply install a sun ledge and new steps inside the existing pool. Doing so would take away valuable swimming space and potentially create a safety hazard near the diving area.
And, well, we generally prefer that our customers enjoy their pools without bumping their heads on the steps! 😂
So what did we do?
We cut out the entire shallow end of the pool, removed those dreaded fiberglass steps, and extended the pool by FOUR FEET!
Yep. FOUR FEET!
That gave us the room to create a beautiful new sun ledge with bubblers and integrated entry steps while preserving the pool's diving area.
But we weren't finished!
Our homeowners also disliked the original deep-end wall ladder. So we removed it and incorporated two new deep-end corner exit seats, designed to provide an alternative means of exiting the deep end.
And then we turned our attention to what makes everything work behind the scenes!
⚙️ THE EQUIPMENT GOT SOME LOVE, TOO!
We upgraded the pool's circulation and water-treatment equipment with:
💧 A new energy-efficient variable-speed pump
💧 A mineral purification system
💧 An ozone/UV supplemental sanitation system
💧 A new extended auto cover fabric.
💧 A new custom colored winter cover for the new size.
These upgrades are designed to improve water quality, reduce energy consumption, and help minimize the amount of supplemental pool chemicals needed.
When properly maintained, these systems can make pool ownership more enjoyable while helping protect the pool's surfaces and equipment from the effects of unnecessarily aggressive water chemistry.
And yes, the pool still requires routine testing, and balanced water but our homeowners are never weekly shocking their pool, adding algaecides and are they will have chlorine levels so low that we can almost not even test for it! But, even the fanciest equipment doesn't replace good pool care! 😉
THE RESULT?
A completely reimagined swimming pool featuring a larger footprint, beautiful new entry area, relaxing sun ledge, playful bubblers, upgraded deep-end exits, new liner, and modernized equipment.
Take a look through the pictures! We've included photographs from the beginning of construction all the way through the finished project.
You'll see just how much work went into making this transformation happen.
❤️ A VERY SPECIAL THANK-YOU!
First, to our wonderful homeowners:
Thank you for trusting Huff Pool and Spa with such a significant renovation. We know living with a major construction project in your backyard isn't always easy. Your patience, understanding, and confidence in us meant more than you know.
We hope your newly renovated pool brings you many, many years of wonderful memories!
And to our hardworking crews:
THANK YOU!
Projects of this magnitude don't happen without skilled people willing to get dirty, solve problems, work together, and take pride in what they do.
From excavation and structural modifications to plumbing, concrete, liner installation, and final finishing, this was truly a team effort.
We couldn't have done it without you!
At Huff Pool and Spa, we don't just sell pools and spas. We help turn our customers' dreams into reality. 💙
Sometimes that means a simple equipment upgrade.
And sometimes…
It means cutting the end off an entire swimming pool and making it FOUR FEET LONGER! 😂💦
We think it turned out pretty darn nice!
