Add a “WOW” factor to your backyard by installing a tanning ledge for your pool. A ledge can extend the recreation and relaxation options as they are the perfect area for lounge chairs or a children’s play area. Cool off while indulging in the ultimate sunbathing experience.
4. Dark Liners. (Butterfly Effect / Onyx)
Dark liners are becoming more popular than they have in seasons past. A dark liner can help to absorb light which will provide minimal heat, but not enough to write home about. But the effect on the pool water is that of a luxurious Hollywood-esque feel that will leave many breathless.
5. Pool Sheds
Putting your pool equipment in a shed helps to keep your yard looking neat and slick, hiding all the behind the scene equipment needed to operate your pool. Adding a changing room or shower can provide your guests with a way to change without tracking water throughout the house.
6. Automation with Omni
Automation is becoming more popular over recent years with every aspect of our lives. Your pool is no different! Adding an Omni system to your pool is simply the easiest and most affordable way to have your pool at your fingertips. Providing you with access to up to 4 pieces of equipment you can easily adjust your pump speed, set water temperature, turn on / off pool lights, and more, all conveniently with your smart phone. And it is easily installed in existing pools.

Pair a variable speed pump with your new Omni Automation and you have a winning combination. A variable Speed Pump can save you up to 90% of the pool’s energy costs, lower your pool’s carbon footprint and with automation, even take the work out of owning a pool.
The advanced hydraulic design and energy efficient motors move water more efficiently while operating at lower speeds to minimize noise. They’re simply the best way for environmentally conscious people to work less and play more, while minimizing costs and keeping the performance unchanged.
