Sheer Descents, Cascades and Waterfalls

Water, water everywhere… Playful rock waterfalls, elegant fountains, spa spillovers, and sheer water features can completely change the way you feel about your pool. Instead of "just the pool" behind your house, you can have a mountainside or a lagoon in your backyard. A rock cave would be romantic, especially hidden behind a delicate cascade of sheer water, and fountains splashing along the perimeter could add the perfect classic touch to an already elegant pool.

Rock features and waterfalls are the perfect complement to lagoon-style or free form pools, and they also can add visual interest and beauty to more standard shapes. Add a full rock wall complete with cascading water to one end of your pool and enjoy the illusion of relaxing at the foot of a mountain. For the romantic, create a private rock cave hidden behind your new waterfall. Underwater seating ledges can make your cave even more appealing!

Graceful sheer water features bring elegance to a new level. Create intriguing designs with spas, fountains, and rocks all with sheer water smoothly gliding into the water. Equally dramatic during the day as they are accented with strategic lighting, sheer water features combine the lovely sound of falling water with subtle design effects to provide an exciting visual masterpiece.

Fountains have always been a classic addition to elegant pool settings. Detached or gently splashing into your pool, a fountain will provide a beautiful addition to any pool.
Spa spillovers make the transition from the spa to your pool exciting! Why place your spa yards away from the pool on another deck when adding a spa presents such an opportunity for great design! Elevate the spa among a mountain of rocks and create an exciting waterfall at the same time, or redesign the pool to accommodate the spa for a sheer water descent into the surface of the pool. You can even reverse the process and let the pool spillover into the spa in a unique negative edge design! Breathtaking possibilities await your pool!

A truly remarkable pool feature, the negative edge will quite possibly make your pool the envy of all your friends and the talk of the neighborhood. Utilizing an intriguing optical illusion, your pool will appear to extend into the surrounding landscape with no boundaries. An exceptional feature, especially for pools with a great view!

Tile or Mosaics

Tile has always been a favorite choice for pool and spa surfaces. Nothing compares to the classic elegance of a fully tiled spa. Mosaic tile now comes in an unimaginable array of colors – we can help you create a unique inlay or spa design with style. And new water line tile will make the edges of your pool look crisp and clean again. The options are endless and you won't regret the taking the extra time to add this unique feature! Tile and mosaics not only improve your pool, they can turn your pool’s landscape into a work of art.

Lighting

We can help you wit light niches, color lights and transformers. Dramatic lighting can change the look of your pool and give it an atmosphere for parties and more.

Add or modify pool lighting to extend your poolside entertaining well into the evenings. In fact, lighting can change the entire mood of the pool at night. Enjoy the dramatically different atmosphere as late as you like! Low profile lights or landscaping lights give subtle illumination around the perimeter, and underwater and fiber optic lights can give swimmers a colorful underwater display.

Low-profile lights	Accent paths, walkways and provide muted lighting for accent
Spotlights	Direct light to specific pool, landscape, or patio features
Floodlights	General lighting for common areas; motion floodlights for safety
Uplights	Highlight landscape or pool features from below
Fiber Optic Lights	Provide color and drama to poolscapes
Pool Lights	Underwater lights for swimming; adds color

Acid Wash

Also called a drain & clean, an acid wash becomes necessary if the pool has turned into the "black lagoon". This may occur if the winterizing process is not done properly, or if the pool has been stagnant for a period of time so that algae have taken over.

Our general rule of thumb for determining the need for an acid wash is: if you can see the bottom of the pool (the floor) then you can bring it back with chemicals, labor and filtering. If the floor is not visible, the cost of the chemicals and labor will generally be greater than the acid wash charge, and take much, much longer. Also, extensive algae blooms will stain plastered pools, making an acid wash desirable.

An acid wash is, put simply, purposeful stripping of a tiny layer of plaster, exposing fresh plaster beneath. Therefore, it is ill-advised to make it an annual custom, which will accelerate the need for replastering. Most plaster coats (sometimes called whitecoat or marcite) are in excess of 1/2", so a few careful acid washes should not hurt. Pools can also be bleach washed, pressure washed or treated with citric acid.

You may also decide on an acid wash not because of swamp conditions, but just to bring out a brighter, whiter finish. Mineral stains and/or deposits, chlorine stains, even dirt stains...an acid wash is always a dramatic aesthetic improvement.

If your pool has had years of algae blooms, and if your pool seems to grow algae overnight or just bloom very easily....changing the water and acid washing the surfaces algae sticks to can give you an algae free summer. Call JT’s Pool Repair and Remodeling to get this done for you.

Acid is a dangerous substance. Pool company personnel are specially trained in its application and wear protective clothing and breathing apparatus during the acid wash. To protect ourenvironment, the acid/water waste should be neutralized with soda ash prior to its being pumped to a safe location.

If you decide to drain and clean your own pool, make sure that the hydrostatic relief plugs are pulled as soon as possible, and that the water is pumped to a distant location, or into a storm drain. You may also need to check with local water authorities for waste water discharge regulations.
