Plug for Grand Riviera - Looking at Deep End

Several months ago we announced that Leisure Pools was working on a brand new pool model called the “Grand Riviera”.  Our team at Signature Pools just wanted to take a few minutes to update our future customers who are looking for a deep end pool on the status of this new model as well as show you a few recent pictures of the progress.  You can see the beginning stages of the pool by clicking here:  www.sigpoolschicago.mysites.io/blog/2010/01/04/leisure-pools-announces-new-model-for-2010-the-grand-riviera.

The good news is that the plug for the pool is almost complete.

Upon completion of the plug the mold will be built  and then finally the actual pool shells can be produced.  As you can see from the pictures, the Grand Riviera will be one of the largest free form fiberglass pools ever produced.  With dimensions of 40′ x 16′ x 8′ it will be one of the most innovative and stylish deep end pools in the industry and the only 8′ deep swimming pool in the United States available with the industry leading Aquaguard Gelcoat.  The pool will also come with a modified version of the very popular family play bench available on the current Riviera models.  Due to the size of this pool the steps have been moved to the center of the shallow end as opposed to the side of the pool.  This small change gives the pool a truly grand entrance.

The lastest news is that the mold should be complete and be available for production by the middle of May 2010.  If you would like additional information on this pool or any other pool models from Leisure Pools please contact our sales and design department at 630.845.1145 or visit us on the web at:  www.sigpoolschicago.mysites.io Also, to keep up to date with updates on this pool, other news within the swimming pool industry, or status updates from our team at Signature Pools we recommend subscribing to the RSS feed of this blog by clicking on the orange square on the upper right hand corner of this page.  You can also follow us on twitter www.twitter.com/signature_pools or join our fan page on facebook at www.facebook.com/signaturepools.

Fiberglass Swimming Pool Summer Maintenance

· ·

dirty-filters2

It’s that time of the year for Illinois swimming pools!- Signature Pools and Spas is in full swing with new construction, and many of our existing customers are reminded to clean out their cartridge filters and inspect their salt generator cells on the equipment. Although fiberglass swimming pools are the easiest in ground pools to maintain, it’s important to perform these tasks to get the most enjoyment out of your swimming season and keep your equipment running smoothly.

Dirt, leaves, suntan lotion and other debris collects in the pool filter and needs to be cleaned out every so often. Take a look at the pressure gauge on top of your filter to see if the operating pressure has risen to the ‘dirty’ mark. Even if the gauge has not, it’s a good idea to clean the filters several times a year. Low return pressure, heater problems, and chlorine generation is all affected when filters get too dirty. You can also extend the life of the filters by keeping them as clean as possible. This will save money in the long run by not having to replace the cartridges as often.

Another important maintenance tip is to keep your chlorine/salt generator clean. As the system breaks the salt water in to sodium and chloride, (the chemical make-up of salt), mineral deposits can collect on the generator cell and diminish its capacity to generate chloride and sanitize the pool water. Most chlorine generator manufacturers recommend inspecting the cell every month to insure there is no mineral build-up on the component. Using a mild acid wash will eliminate any build-up and enhance the performance of your equipment. Refer to you specific manufacturer’s instructions for further information on cleaning the cell.

By keeping these components clean, you are able to extend the life of your inground pool equipment and ensure water chemistry balance through the remainder of this season.

If you have questions about your fiberglass swimming pool, water chemistry, or maintaining your pool equipment, feel free to contact Signature Pools and Spas at 630.845.1145 to ask a question or schedule a service call. You can always contact via the website at www.sigpoolschicago.mysites.io

Signature Pools Booked for 2008

· ·

All Closed Up!

We at Signature Pools and Spas would like to thank all of our clients for making it another great season!  Special thanks to our currents and past clients that have made this year a spectacular one.  Unfortunately, the 2008 construction schedule is now fully booked- we are currently scheduling construction for the spring and summer of 2009.  Please contact our sales and design team to discuss building your backyard dreams.

This year has brought lots of growth and change for Signature Pools.  One of the biggest developments has been the expanded product line from Leisure Pools.  This summer they introduced the Grand Elegance, the largest in their lineup of in ground fiberglass pools.  This season also brought more sales of Leisure Pools shells than ever before. Customers have seen the innovative designs, incredible color selection, and high quality construction of their pools.  Leisure Pools will soon be opening the worlds largest pool manufacturing plant to keep up with the US demand for their product.  This will also enable them to continually increase their selection of shapes.  We are looking forward to their new models in the summer of 2009.

We also are excited about our newly found relationship with Structure Studios software.  This application allows us to provide our clients with 3D designs.  Our clients can then visually ‘walk through’ their backyard to see  what the final product will look like.  Check back soon to see some before/after examples of this on our web page.

Again, thank you so much for making 2008 a great success.  We look forward to serving you and our new clients in 2009.  Be sure to check back on our blog and website for more exciting developments and changes for the upcoming season.  As always, you can contact us directly at (630)845.1145 or visit the website at www.sigpoolschicago.mysites.io
