Electric Heat Pump - A compressor/condenser style heater that heats the pool water through a freon exchange system similar to a central air conditioner in reverse. This style heater costs much less to operate than gas heaters. Propane or natural gas - A furnace-style heater that heats the water as it travels through a metal heat exchanger. This type of heater will generally heat a pool quicker, cost a bit less to purchase, but will cost considerably more to operate. There are several options of lighting available for above-ground pools. Return opening lights that double as a light and pool return will work in any new or existing pool. There is also an under-coping light that hangs on the pool wall and fits many new and existing pools. Pool Rover, Junior - Automatic robotic-style vacuum that moves along the pool's bottom under its own power and traps debris in its own cleanable, reusable bag. Robotic vacs run independent of your pool's filtration system and clean your pool much quicker than suction-style vacs. Li'l Shark and EZ Vac - Suction-style vacs that simply hook up to your pool's skimmer or suction port. This suction allows the vac to randomly move around the pool's bottom on its own and traps the debris in your filter. Fully automatic pool covers provide an extra layer of protection for your in-ground swimming pool. They also greatly reduce evaporative heat and chemical loss. They are simple to operate and can be installed on new or existing pools. They are also available in many different colors and with a variety of mounting options. Diving boards and jump stands can provide a tremendous amount of fun. They are available only on in-ground pools that meet specific regulatory guidelines. Please check with your town & insurance company prior to purchasing a diving board. We feature Anchor brand custom safety covers, which are available in a variety of colors and styles: standard mesh, defender mesh (tighter weave and more shade than standard mesh), and 5-star solid with drain (solid cover with center drain section that travels the length of the cover). These covers are designed to stretch tightly over your pool and act almost like a trampoline to keep children (or adults) and most animals out of the pool during winter months. Slides today are available in many designs and heights. Some can be installed on in-ground pool patios or above-ground pools with enough decking. There may be local or state-wide restrictions on how deep a pool is required to be to allow for a slide, as well as insurance issues. Please check with your toewn and insurance company prior to purchasing a slide. Many of our in-ground pool designs allow for a spillover spa. Until recently, this option was only available in extremely expensive gunite-style pools. The spillover spa gives you an actual in-ground jetted spa that can run in conjunction with your pool (with water cascading from the spa into the pool), or as a stand-alone spa. It also doubles as a children's wading pool (with optional insert). Kreepy Krauly - Suction-style vac that simply hooks up to your pool's skimmer or suction port. This suction allows the vac to move on its own and traps the debris in your filter. In most pools, Kreepy Krauly will climb the slopes and walls as well. Dolphin Pro - Available regular or with remote control. Automatic robotic-style vacuum that moves around the pool under its own power and traps debris in its own cleanable, reusable bag. Robotic vacs run independent of your pool's filtration system and clean your pool much quicker than suction-style vacs. Built-in waterfalls and fountains are relatively new to the vinyl in-ground pool marketplace. They allow for your pool to "come alive". Tied in with attractive new lighting options, your pool can have the appearance of a large resort pool for a fraction of the cost. Several different lighting options are available. Underwater LED lights with various "light shows", standard underwater white lights and fiber-optic perimeter lighting. The Intellibrite LED light we feature in all new in-ground pools is also available as a retrofit for most existing incandescent underwater lights.
