Town and Country Pools

“We design and retrofi t pools and spas with an eye to preserving the environment and saving energy,” states Burton Gray, president of Town and Country Pools. “Automatic covers are essential to prevent heat loss,” he explains. “People don’t realize that 90 percent of heat is lost through the water surface. Our clients close their pools by turning a key, which also keeps debris out so the fi lter does not work hard.” To further reduce environmental
impact, Gray suggests high-effi ciency heaters and salt chlorine generators, making it unnecessary to buy and handle chlorine and comfortable to swim without goggles. For homes with geothermal energy, Town and Country Pools taps into that renewable energy to heat pools and spas. Located in Springfi eld, Town and
Country Pools’ new service division serves the Washington metropolitan area.
