The finishing touches
The pool’s equipment pad features some of the latest technology with respect to pumps, heaters, filters, and automation.
The cartridge filtration system saves the homeowner not only time and money (no backwashing is necessary), but also improves the quality of the pool water. The heater is capable of increasing the water temperature better than a degree per hour, and the pump is not only quieter than an air conditioner, it also uses less energy to operate. Finally, the automation system allows the homeowner to regulate the water temperature remotely from their mobile phone, as well as set-up filtration schedules based on time of year and different bather loads.
