“We are not a huge corpora- tion. I am the point of contact for every client. No salespeople are involved who might lose something in the translation. I’m on every project, supervising throughout the process, from sales to design to execution.” Sometimes, he adds, he “jumps into the hole” if that’s what it takes. Crystal Clear Pools specializes in custom pool design and prides itself on bringing to life the client’s vision—whether a client wants a free form or classic rectangle, every pool has its own distinctive qualities and “every job has a life of its own.” Pools can be used for many


different purposes and are designed accordingly. Both size and depth of the pool may be considerations, depending on factors such as yard size and the client’s needs. Perhaps a cool place to soak up some sun


is important. Eric can provide a sleek tanning ledge—nor- mal or super-sized—complete with bubblers and an umbrella sleeve for toning down the sun. A homeowner’s physical height may require extra space for a comfortable swim. Or if the plan includes using the pool for the occasional game of volleyball, a sports pool with shallow ends and a deep center would be just the ticket. The team at Crystal Clear Pools will even build a sitting area with table for spectators. Looking for a more eco- friendly way to fill your pool? Using salt water is now the preferred way to maintain a squeaky-clean environment without as many chemicals as in the past. It also reduces mainte- nance (an advantage for homes that are rented seasonally). Many people are surprised to


discover the rainbow of water hues available. To create the desired water color, Eric offers beautiful pool finishes that use an innovative product from Wet Edge Technologies that is com- posed of the finest stone from around the world. Upgraded finishes are also available and include vibrant aqua, ocean, turquoise or red glass beads, ocean shells, and glossy black pebbles that are perfect for blending pools with their natural settings. If your property has a view of the ocean, you may consider matching its color and adding an infinity edge that visually merges with it. Finishes and accoutrements run the gamut: mosaic tiles, glass tiles, decorative tiles, bubblers, slides, fountains, waterfall walls, spas, the style of the surrounding deck. Clients sometimes include a custom


tile mosaic turtle or sea horse for the little ones in the family. Another popular upgrade is a heat and/or cool pump that maintains ideal water tempera- tures and extends the swimming season for year-round enjoy- ment. Throughout the process, Crystal Clear Pools provides expert guidance and hands-on management of myriad crews, specialists and vendors. And as Eric says, “We provide work- manship you can trust for the pool of your dreams.” 2
