Is Your Pool Just a Pool When It Could Be So Much More?

Today, swimming pools are a great deal more than they started out being. Something that was costly enough by itself was an in-ground pool. The additional features often resulted in the whole process became cost-prohibitive.

Pools are now cost-effective. Adding amazing new items around and in them are within almost everyone’s grasp. If you’re the proud owner of a swimming pool and it’s just a pool, why don’t you take a good look at all the extras that you could have within your pool area.

Have you thought about all of the wonderful new things that you could add to your pool that could bring it from fun to fantastic? You can also add a waterfall to the pool with water flowing into the pool from above. Adding a swimming pool will make your pool the most remarkable feature on your property, even if you have had the pool for a long time.

It’s literally breathtaking to have water from the waterfall flow over your body while you swim. While the feel of the water flowing over you is invigorating, the sound is amazingly soothing. A waterfall is a unique addition to your pool that’s not often seen, making it much more special. Surrounded by trees and landscaping plants, the waterfalls upper area often doubles as a lunch or breakfast area where a quiet meal overlooking the water is possible.

Another unique idea for a pool add-on may be a swim up bar for both you and your guests. The swim up bar is a terrific way to keep beverages available for your guests and family when you are in your pool. The swim-up bar is definitely an addition everyone can love, having a relaxing glass of wine, cold soft drinks or icy water.

Are you aware that other water features are now being incorporated into about a third of the in-ground pools being built nowadays? Water slides are among the most popular. A water slide may be added, even when your pool isn’t very deep. Water slides usually run down into the more shallow part of the pool; generally under five feet of water.

Bid farewell to those costly trips to the water park when you have got much better features at your home than they have at the park. A swim up area for drinks and snacks, a waterfall, sending luscious streams of water down over the pool, or a water slide, sure to please the kids as well as the adults are just a few of the water features that can be added to your pool during building or afterward.

Are you wanting your pool to become not just a pool? Investigate the many additions that you could make for your in-ground pool and learn how much more it can really be.

Unique’s Environmentally GREEN Pools

GO GREEN!  It’s not just a fad now – it’s a lifestyle, and one that we’ve taken seriously in the Phoenix swimming pool & spa business.

There are many ways that Unique is building environmentally friendly pools – but the biggest contribution to the GREEN industry is the our Pentair pumps and swimming pool equipment.  Unique proudly installs the Pentair Intelliflo Variable speed pump on all of our premium GREEN swimming pool & spa projects.  This pump is definitely the best choice for a pool & spa pump in Phoenix, as it is fully programmable for up to 4 different speeds.  It’s Italian made motor is extremely energy efficient (in fact, 30% more efficient that it’s competitors!).  The best thing about this Phoenix Swimming pool pump is it’s ability to be programmed to provide the exact amount of water needed for multiple functions of a swimming pool.

For example, this pump can be used for an infloor cleaning system booster pump, and it’s set at 3000 RPM, which is approximately a 2 HP pump.  The same pump can be dialed down to a .5 HP pump to circulate & filter the water of the swimming pool.  With some simple computer automation, the same pump can be used as a booster pump for the spa jets (imagine a low speed jet and a high speed jet – all from the same pump, and a push of a button!)  Another common use is the ability to control the flow of a waterfall or Phoenix pool waterfeature.  Our Phoenix Intelliflo Pentair pump can be programmed for 2 speeds (actually more!) -  giving you a low speed waterfall for a quite evening outside, or you can ramp it up for FULL THROTTLE for a backyard party!
