Shasta Pools Insider

Going green can be a win-win. At Shasta Pools, we are looking for ways to be environmentally sensitive. Shasta Pools offers the most energy efficient pool equipment available in the market today, for example. Recently Shasta Pools made a drastic reduction in their paper consumption by going to a new paperless system from eCopy and Optiscan. The savings are going to be huge both from an environmental perspective as well as a financial perspective. Our customers will benefit in more subtle ways also as a result of improved access to jobs files. Pool designs can be changed and everyone stay on the same (paperless) page.

Since Shasta Pools has teamed up with Sta-Rite/Pentair we are constantly striving to learn new and exciting ways for our customers to save money and get the best bang for their buck. By using innovative products from the Sta-Rite line with their own manufacturing division's product line, they are working to create the most efficient combinations and customize products to fit the needs of their customer base. One product in particular, Sta-Rite's Variable Speed pump is now the up-and-coming energy efficient/eco-friendly way to power your pool's cleaning system. They have come together with Pentair to create a pre-programmed IntelliFlo VS-3050 pump that works specifically with their in-floor cleaning and circulation system. This pre-programmed pump is exclusive to Shasta customers and will not only work efficiently with in-floor cleaning, but will also save you 30-90% on your energy costs. The ultra-durable, whisper quiet and totally enclosed IntelliFlo VS-3050 is available for Shasta New Pools, Remodels and Semi-Commericial projects. Read more on this topic here.

Sure Cure, Xcel Surface's newest innovation was made specifically for the swimming pool industry and admired by Shasta Pools. This low VOC, waterborne hybrid emulsion incorporates proprietary chemistries designed to address the problems associated with accelerated hydration of concrete swimming pool shells and slabs. In warm weather, it is common for concrete to dry too fast and cause cracks or checking.

With Sure Cure you can virtually eliminate the need for water curing. This product is easy to apply to the concrete pool shell or slab and easy to clean up using just water. Sure Cure dries fast and gives you better results during the critical beginning stages of forming your pool shell or concrete slab. Sure Cure is available anywhere Xcel Surfaces products are sold.

Shasta Pools would like you to know, that just like with anything else mechanical, such as your car, pool equipment can use a tune-up every once and a while.

Maintaining pool equipment and proper pool chemistry can actually save time and money. Noisy pumps or water leaking around the equipment pad can be good indicators of a problem. Performing a basic pool tune-up is a key element in getting your swimming pool ready for the season.

Water chemistry, system maintenance and smaller but often overlooked parts can all affect the performance of your pool. For example, something simple like replacing a cracked O-ring could extend the life of your pool pump.

Visit your nearby Shasta Pools & Supplies store for free computerized water testing or call Shasta Pools Customer Care (602) 532-3887 for more details on a swimming pool tune-up.

Shasta Pools was awarded the annual APSP International Awards of Excellence for 5 different pool designs. Each category was separated by overall theme of the design and Shasta Pools took 5 of the categories from Bronze to Gold. They really stole the competition. Shasta Pools is very pleased with their accomplishment and the pools are really unique from modern to nature looks. Steve Ast, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Shasta Pools said "We are very honored to receive so much recognition for our designs".

My favorite pools are the Negative Edged ones. It makes you feel like you're on a cliff with a water fall. Shasta Pools did a great job. I will have to see if a negative pool with work at my house. This is a very prestigious award, and I am anxious to see if Shasta Pools will pull away with the awards this year.

We will just have to wait and see. You can see pictures of all the pools in the full article Shasta Pools Article.
