Many of our customers install solar pool heating as a replacement for old gas or electric heating systems that have failed after years of use. At the same time, many other aspects of their pools also need renovation. Perhaps the plaster is cracked, pipes and valves are leaking, or the pump is losing strength. When more than a new heating system is required, Solaron recommends working with our regular renovation partners at Premier Pools & Spas.
Premier Pools & Spas and Solaron both started in the late 1980’s, giving both companies significant experience in their respective fields. Solaron is one of the top installers of Heliocol pool heating systems in California, and Premier Pools & Spas benefits from the strength of more than 100 franchises nationwide. They are the largest pool builder and renovator in the United States! This gives Premier significant leverage on pricing for materials and equipment, allowing them to pass the advantages on to you.
Updating Pools for Convenience and Efficiency
Modern pool filtration systems are significantly more convenient and efficient than older systems. You can now monitor and control your pool pump via your smartphone. Variable speed pumps can operate at maximum power for improved cleaning, or at slower speeds for energy efficiency. When a client has an older filtration system, Solaron recommends replacement to ensure better efficiency in both pool cleaning and temperature regulation.
Adding Fountains and Fire
Premier Pools & Spas is also one of the foremost providers of water features and fire elements for swimming areas. Do you want to add fountains, bubblers, waterfalls or slides to your pool? Would you like an integrated fire pit, torches, or a fire table to add warmth and light to your pool deck? Your choice of features turn a simple pool into an entertainment center and outdoor gathering place worthy of intimate evenings or spectacular parties.
Improving Pool Lighting
Older pools typically invested very little in lighting. Modern LED lighting systems offer variations in color and brightness that can be combined with water features for the equivalent of your own private light show! Seeing is believing when it comes to the power of lighting and we strongly recommend that you visit the Gallery at Premier Pools & Spas for an idea of what an improved lighting system could do to invigorate your swimming experience.
Pool Resurfacing
Gunite or “concrete” pools require regular resurfacing of their plaster shell, on average after ten years, before cracks start to compromise the waterproofing of the pool. The pool surface can be replaced with new plaster, pebbles, or tile. When a client’s pool surface needs renovation, Solaron consistently recommends Premier Pools & Spas.
Installing Hot Tubs and Structural Features
A hot tub or spa is a great addition to any swimming pool and can be built as a connected part of the pool or separately above ground. The warm water makes relaxing in a pool possible year round! For structural variety and privacy, or as another source of water features, Premier Pools & Spas can also add a raised beam wall to part of your swimming pool. Underwater features are also available, with tanning ledges, swim-outs, and pool benches very popular.
