Custom Pool Design Process

Envisioning what your custom pool and landscape will look like can be difficult. The Emerald Experience includes a discovery meeting with you to learn about your ideas and plans for your project. We then create a detailed site plan and depending on the scope of the project, we also create a 3D rendering to see your vision come to life. Our design process puts you at the center and ensures efficiency in the building process as well as accuracy in completion. Our goal is to provide that “move that bus” type of experience where the first site of your pool takes your breathe away.

FAQs

Your pool or spa water could be green for multiple reasons. In short:
-Lack of sanitation
-Metals
-Phosphates and Algae

The types of bugs that are in your pool are most likely Backswimmers and Water Boatmen.
These 2 bugs look a lot alike. The difference is that the Backswimmers actually feed on the Water Boatmen and the Water Boatmen feed on Algae. Water Boatmen do not bite and are harmless, but if you have Water Boatmen you most likely have Backswimmers too! Backswimmers are non poisonous, but have a sting like bite! To treat a bite, use a cold compress and to prevent these bugs, keep correct levels of sanitation and don’t let algae bloom!

When you are having someone come take a look at your pool every week, you are able to really prevent a lot of the issues that can occur with equipment, chemical levels and cleanliness. Most of the time it will be easier and less expensive in the long run because you won’t catch these issues when it’s too late. When you have someone coming out every 2 weeks or even monthly, you spend more time fixing what has been done in that time passed than maintaining cleanliness. Weekly Chemical balancing and cleaning keeps you happier because your pool or spa will always look fantastic.

When you keep the water in your pool or spa balanced, you are extending the life of your liner, your plaster, your chlorinator, and your equipment. Aggressive water is extremely corrosive, and oversaturated water is extremely scale forming. Keeping the many parameters in balance is what will prevent your water from becoming aggressive or oversaturated. Having properly balanced water isn’t only important for your pool or spa, but it is also important for your safety! A lot of water chemistry is about user comfort, since your skin is much more sensitive than your equipment. High levels of chlorine and or pH levels that are too high or too low can make eyes burn, hair damaged, dry skin and clothed ruined, so it is important to either learn how to balance what are yourself, or hire a professional to do it. Not only is it important for your comfort, but also for your safety. There are many Waterborne illnesses that can come from unbalanced or dirty water. Having the proper level of sanitation is key to keeping your family happy and healthy.

There is more to it than keeping on top of your pH and your chlorine! There are many parameters that need to be tested often to keep your pool and hot tub balanced. Some of these include phosphate levels, calcium hardness, total alkalinity, metals, combined chlorine, cyanuric acid, and salt alongside your pH and chlorine. There are many things that can contribute to any of these levels rising or dropping, and hiring a certified water chemist to maintain your pool or spa can make the biggest difference.
