Pools by Design

Owner Builder Swimming Pools in Los Angeles at a Typical Cost Saving of $12,000 to $15,000

So how do you go about getting a backyard Pool By Design "That Looks So Good and that You are Proud of - But does not cost a small fortune? "

Its Simple - You Become an Owner Builder!!

What about one like this? - Our Pools By Design Guru - Derek Miller - is very proud of the pure aesthetic beauty of this backyard pool with its white pool plaster and natural pool ambiance

Or like this premier pool and its exotic finishes - There is no tile paint in this backyard pool! - In his Pools By Design Derek often uses water falls like this - and with a remote controller you can turn it off at the push of a button when you want to talk!

Or one like this - I love the way that Derek has built this into the sloping landscape and has squeezed a pretty big natural looking backyard pool into a quite small backyard space

Or a real stunning Pool By Design like this infinity backyard pool with its travatine finish? - another of Derek's favourites - Don’t you just love Las Vegas and the mountains!

Or a small backyard pool and spa combo where Pools By Design has ensured that it will fit into a small backyard

 

Or even like this? - Pools By Design loves these stamped concrete finishes – and they are so cheap to do – but you have to get the right trade contractor

And this is the "Paradise pool" that all our Clients like most - it is probably because of Derek's timeless classic design and the planting - and we can deal with that as well

We are Bluepools

We are based in Rancho Cucamonga and we specialilise in helping and guiding the Pool Owner Builder from Concept to Completion

This entirely avoids the risk and problems that can arise from the use of a Licensed Pool Contractor and can provide a pool that is well over $7,000 cheaper.

Bluepools provides all the services that are required to allow You to become a pool Owner-Builder - thus eliminating the risk of losing money through the bankrupcty of a Licensed Pool Contractor that can result in the loss of 50% of what the pool costs..

The Other Advantages of using Bluepools to help become an Owner-Builder

• Bluepools is owned and managed by two English professional engineers that have over 40 years combined experience in pool design and construction - this ensures that your pool project will run smoothly and at the same time reduce the cost by an amount than can be as much as 40%
• Licensed Pool Contractors have to cover the cost of their sales team, management team, owners profits as well as high charges from licenses, bonds and assurances that all such contractors must have - these can easily add up to 40% to the price of your backyard swimming pool
• You will be provided with a Bespoke pool and Landscaping design that is carefully planned to suit both Your Backyard and Your exact requirements - this ensures that 100% of your backyard is included in the design and not just the pool and decking
• You also get optimised Surface Finishes to the pool walls and floor, copings and deck that improves pool appearance - increasing the value of your property and at the same time reducing the pool cleaning time from 5 hours each month to zero!
• You are also provided with a pool chlorination and filtration system that will provide a guaranteed 6 hour turn round of the entire pool water volume to ensure that your pool is safe to swim in - no matter how hot the summer is - not like most private pools in the US where the filtration systems are totally inadequate during long periods of hot weather
• You will also be provided with pool equipment that will reduce energy use and the cost of replacement parts that will reduce typical monthly power and water charges by as much as 50% of the annual cost
• Many Pool Contractors have exclusivity deals with pool component manufacturers - and this can severely restrict your choice of equipment and result in early component failures because of the reduced quality of the parts
• And did you know? - that a subcontractor can put a lien on your house or property if a Contractor has not paid him - by becoming an Owner-Builder you will completely eliminate the risk of having to pay for the same thing twice over - as thousands of other folks have in the past 3 years.

Bluepools uses the Famous Pool Studio swimming pool design software that provides all the drawings required for consent applications in a 3D format so that you can "fly over" your new pool before it has even been built to see what the pool will look like in your own back yard.

If you use Bluepools and become a Pool Owner-Builder you will have an expert at the end of the telephone or Email to get very quick advice / response - whatever your problem

There is another problems that the Pool Contractors create - Dull boring Design

We all know that so-called "Design and Build" produces dull boring swimming backyard pool designs that are certainly not Pools By Design and that look exactly the same and are mainly determined by the various prejudices that every  Contractors has locked up in his head! - well that is what most Pool Contractors love to build.

The very last thing that they want to build is an exciting backyard pool by design with lots of tricky features to plan and install!

The market conditions created by the Licensed Pool Contractor system have also created another problem

The market is dominated by a handful of massive companies like Blue Haven, Anthony & Sylvan and California Pools that are really just backyard pool sales machines.

The discerning backyard Pool Buyer will not want to be sold one by a salesman that is only interested in his 8 or 10% sales commission that you are going to shove into his wallet and never set eyes on him again.

And as well:-

• Many of the big firms are franchises operations
• The franchisees or local branches are just money making machines for the franchisor

The truth is that in many cases the franchisees are paying far too much for just a name and do not make a high enough profit margin to provide you with an exciting Pool by design because all your hard earned money is in the bank account of the big pool company and their salesman!

There is something else that is very important and that you need to know

During the past year over 75% of the pools that we have installed have included in-floor cleaning

I am guessing that quite a few of you are not exactly sure what in-floor pool cleaning is
But if you are thinking of building a pool now you need to get up to speed on this important and astonishing new technology.
In an old fashioned pool the water is circulated through several inlet jets and is re-circulated through drains in the pool floor and the skimmers that remove floating debris and scum on the pool surface

In a modern pool

With in-floor cleaning pop-up nozzles built into the floor of the swimming pool use high pressure streams of water to push dirt, sand, leaves and debris from every corner of the pool towards a special drain
The rubbish is then removed into a collection basket or canister for ease of disposal. 

The in-floor cleaning nozzles

Can be installed in steps, seats and play areas, and in spas and fountains. 
Both heat and chemicals escape the water more rapidly at the surface of a swimming pool.

When the heat and chemicals are introduced at the bottom of the backyard poolthey get thoroughly mixed up  long before they reach the surface.

This results in lower heat and chemical losses and lower costs over the lifetime of the backyard poolA study carried out at the Arizona State University concluded that the average pool owner with in-floor cleaning could save up to:-

• 30% on chemical usage
• 30% on overall power consumption
• and 40% on heating expenses.

The Bluepools in-floor cleaning system

Is engineered using state-of-the-art C.A.D. technology and can be designed for concrete pools and spas of any shape or size. 

The pop-up nozzles come in 5 colours to complement your backyard pool color and are virtually undetectable when not in use. You can even swim while they operate because there are no hoses or obstacles. But there is something else that is even more important -

Most backyard poolbuilders just see In-floor cleaning as an expensive extra that they can charge a ton of money for!

At Bluepools we see it as necessary "must-have" equipment - because your pool will be safer in health terms, and much cheaper to run.

And most importantly - it cannot be easily retro-fitted - the only practicable way to do it is by the installation of a new floor in the pool that reduces it's depth together and by installing a totally new plumbing system.

So at Bluepools we keep the price of in-floor equipment as low as possible - simply because we know that our Clients will be even more delighted with their new Pool By Design if it has in-floor cleaning

But lets get back to Your Pool By Design

Have you always thought:-

That you would design the Landscaping in your backyard Better than any professional could?
– simply because only you know exactly what you want and just how it should be done

And would you like to  show your neighbours and friends just How smart You are because You Really understand How to create a Stunning Backyard with
a pool where you want to:-

"Just chill - and spend all your free time!"

Do you really want the sort of
run-of-the-mill dull and boring backyard pool?

that all the big pool builders will give you?

I thought not - Just Remember:-

• Many of them are franchises
• Many of them are just money making machines for the franchisor
• The franchisees are paying far too much for just a name
• 8 to 10% of the money that you spend on your pool will go straight in the sales persons pocket
• It is better if your money is spent with a business that is providing you with real benefits like our Custom Pools By Design Service
• When you order your backyard pool from one of them the only person you will meet is a sales guy who is only motivated by the number of pools that he can sell in a day – 2? 3? Or even 4?

What real  interest can he have in your pool project?
And the poor franchisees have no spare cash to make sure that you get a good service
- simply because the franchisor and his sales people are putting it all in their Bank Accounts!

Ask yourself honestly

– do you want to be able to say to your Friends and Relatives :–
"Come round and see our new pool"

you have to say
“Oh – our pool is not up to much - we had it installed a bit back"

Would’nt it be much better

If you really could say- “Come and try our new Pool By Design - it’s all To our design and we had the sense to find a Custom Pool designer that did the concept drawings, gave us all the paperwork that we needed to get bids from  the trade contractors and saved us about $6000 as well!”
