3 LET US HELP YOU CREATE YOUR DREAM POOL Fun and Relaxation You re excited about the opportunity to improve your quality of life and inject some FUN and RELAXATION with a new pool. There are more benefits than you probably realize to having a pool; for you, for your family and for your friends. With any large investment, find out why your Fort Wayne Pool is the brand that is trusted and built on a foundation of quality your pool is the last thing you should worry about once the fun begins. THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN PLANNING YOUR POOL Think About How You Will Use the Pool Will it be for recreation, exercise, entertaining or some combination of all of these? If you have a general idea of your intended use of the pool, it can help you work through the design process. Thinking about Safety If keeping your pool safe is a priority, consider designs that incorporate an automatic safety cover. These covers can be incorporated into most designs and provide a safety barrier that is safer than a fence. They also provide other benefits like savings on heating and chemicals and less maintenance. Keep Maintenance In Mind Different types of pools require different levels of maintenance. Some, like vinyl liner pools, are relatively simple to maintain. It can take just a few minutes a week to check water and chemical levels. Know Your Backyard If you live on the side of a cliff with a steep grade and little or no access for construction vehicles, then you may run into some problems! If you have a tiny backyard but want an Olympic-sized pool, it may not be possible. But for the most part, pool builders are very talented and creative when it comes to designing pools to fit in tight or awkward spaces. Discuss Dollars And Sense Swimming pools can be expensive up front, but the investment is worth it in the end and the enhanced backyard environment can add to the value of your home. Remember that you can often obtain financing and stretch your payments out over a longer term often a monthly pool payment can be lower than a monthly car payment! Talk with your builder about what financing options are available. Also, maybe you don t have the funds to do a huge water feature or lighting system right now. But if you think you might want it in the future, tell your builder. It s much easier to plan for future plumbing and electrical needs upfront and work them into the design than to try and go backwards later on. PAGE 3 POLYMER POOLS FORT WAYNE POOLS PAGE 4
