Latham Pool Builder Academy-Camp Penuel

2011-10-14T13:18:00.000-07:00

Sterling Pools has once again participated in the Latham Pool Builder Academy. The pool builder academy was organized to give pool builders from around the country an opportunity to receive hands on experience and instruction as they participate in the entire process of building a vinyl liner pool.

When Latham International first introduced the pool builder academy, it was held in the yard of a homeowner that had purchased a pool and agreed to have the academy at their home. Several years ago, Latham decided that the pool builder academy provided the perfect opportunity for them and other companies to give back to the community. Now, each pool builder academy is held at the location of a charitable organization that would really benefit from having a pool. The entire pool kit, automatic cover and circulation and filtration equipment are donated for the cause.

This most recent pool builder academy was held Sept 25-29th in at Camp Penuel in Ironton Missouri. Camp Penuel is a Christen camp that provides over 1500 inter-city kids each summer the opportunity to spend a fun filled week at camp.

While at camp, these kids experience the beauty of the outdoors as they participate in water sports on Lake Killarney, going on nature hikes, singing songs around the camp fire, playing team sports, and reading. Camp Penuel gives these youth an uplifting environment, away from the city streets that they came from, where they can learn more about themselves.

Now, thanks to the pool builder academy, the youth that come to Camp Penuel will also enjoy swimming in a new swimming pool.

We are proud to give back to the community and will continue to do so semi-annually for every Pool Builders Academy we host.

Albion Liner Tech Talk

2011-10-03T12:05:00.000-07:00

An interesting article from one of our customers regarding liner fading.

In the many thousands of liners we process each year at WW Adcock the vast majority give many happy years of service.

Failures or problems are in low single digit %. However as you can imagine even 1% of 1000 liners is 10 liners, 2% 20 liners etc., so we are probably subjected to more issues than the average builder/service company.

Today I was conducting a measure class for Adcock personal and here is a photo.
The damage you see here is something we encounter 3 or 4 times a year.

It is 4 years old. This is why this liner is damaged:

This pool has two skimmers, both located at the deep end. The main drain and the skimmers are plumbed together so the pump suction pulls through them all.

The homeowner loads up the skimmers with 3" chlorine tabs. They only run the pump for a few hours per day because of the cost of electricity.

The chlorine tabs then dissolve without the pump running. The heavy chlorine solution then sinks down the skimmer pipe and out through the main drain grate. You can see how bleached the liner is right at the edge of the grate. There is also some PH wrinkling that is hard to see. This is because high concentrations of chlorine has a very low PH and will cause the liner to absorb water and expand, hence PH wrinkles.

So for the cost of running a pump. A typical 1 hp pump uses 746 watts per hour. Average electricity rates are 10 cents a kilowatt hour. So this pump running 24 hours.... uses just shy of 18 kw hours x 10 cents = $1.80

The pump would cost $324 to run 24 hours a day for 6 months. If you only ran it for 8 hours a day you would save $216. The ruined liner cost approx $3500 to replace and lasted 4 years. In four years they saved $864. Net cost of saving electricity was $2636 for a new liner.

I really felt bad for the lady homeowner because she was very nice. My recommendation to her was;

Run the pump more or put in a two speed pump and run it on low half the time or plumb in a chlorinator. Without these precautions the replacement liner would also suffer the same fate.

Actually when building pools, is it a much better idea to have separate main drain and skimmer lines to stop this problem and also down the road it helps to isolate plumbing leaks.

If you have any head scratching liner failure questions we would be glad to give you an honest assessment and if we use your problem for our Tech Talk we shall give you a liner for half price.

PS There is still the possibility that the chlorine has also damaged the lines below the skimmer, especially if it was plumbed with flex pipe which will fail with high chlorine concentrations. In which case I would have to re-do the math above!

Pool Game - Dolphins Race or Relay

2011-08-12T10:48:00.000-07:00

If there are just two players, this game is a race. With four or more players divide into teams and make it a relay.

Each team has a beach ball that the players must move from one end of the pool to the other by pushing the ball with their noses and forehead. If they touch the ball with their hands or any other part of their body they must go back to where that took place and start again.

When the player reaches the end of the pool the next player will do the same until one team is the winner.

Good swimmers can play by swimming in the deep end of the pool or the length of the pool. For a game with non swimmers, play in the shallow end.

Pool Game - Sharks and Minnows

2011-08-05T12:24:00.001-07:00

The game starts out with one person selected as the shark and the rest as the minnows.

Designate one end of the pool as the minnows’ starting point and the other end as the minnows’ goal.

The shark starts in the water at the minnows’ goal, the minnows at their starting point. The minnows must be touching their starting point. The shark then shouts: "Sharks and Minnows, one two three, fishies, fishies swim to me!" after which the minnows may begin to swim to their goal.

The minnows do not need to leave right when the shark calls them over. Minnows can leave their starting point anytime after the shark calls them over. A minnow may return to their starting point at any time during play and be safe from being tagged while touching their starting end.

If the shark manages to tag a minnow, the minnow is out of play and becomes a shark in the next round. After all the minnows have either reached their goal wall or been tagged, the shark(s) swim to the opposite side of the pool from the minnows and the cycle starts again.

The game is played until all of the minnows have been tagged, then the last person tagged becomes the shark who starts the next round.

Here are some optional additions to these rules:

Instead of tagging, sharks must hold some part of the minnow's body for three whole seconds before they become a shark
No underwater tag: sharks can only tag minnows when some part of the minnow is above water
Minnows can call "Early bird!" and start swimming to their goal before the shark has called them across. This can be prevented by the shark calling "No early birds!" at the start of the round.

Pool Game - Marco Polo

2011-07-21T11:32:00.001-07:00

Marco Polo is a form of tag played in a swimming pool. It is a simple game that can be played with two or more players.

To play, One player is chosen as "It". That person closes his or her eyes, or is blindfolded, and counts to a certain number (usually 10 or 20). While the “it” person counts, the other players scatter around in the pool.

After counting to the pre-determined number, the “it” player tries to tag the other players, using only the sound of their voices to find them. The player who is "It" shouts out "Marco" and the other players must respond by shouting "Polo", which "It" uses to try to acoustically locate them.

When the “it” player tags another, that player becomes the “it” person and the game starts over again.

During the game, if "It" thinks that someone has climbed out of the pool, he or she can shout "fish out of water", and if anyone is out of the water they become "It". If someone sits on the side of the pool with their legs in the water, "It" can call out "mermaid on the rocks", or "fish out of water" and that player becomes "It".

Pool Game - Colors

2011-07-11T12:04:00.000-07:00

A player is picked to be "it". The player who is "it" then swims to one side of the pool and turns their back to the other swimmers who are lined up in the water on the opposite side of the pool as "it".

Players choose a color and keep it to themselves (To make it easier you can limit the color choices, like to the colors of the rainbow). "It" begins to call out colors one at a time. If a player's color is picked then the player tries to make it to the other side of the pool as quietly as they can.

If "it" hears a player swimming then "it" turns around and tries to tag the player before they swim back to the side of the pool where they started.

If "it" turns around and the players still have a hand on the side of the pool then "it" returns to the side of the pool where they started and starts calling out colors again.

If "it" catches a swimmer then the swimmer becomes the new "it".

Eight Manufacturers Recall Pool and In-Ground Spa Drain Covers Due to Incorrect Ratings

2011-05-27T09:27:00.001-07:00

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with the firms named below, announced a voluntary recall of the following consumer products. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed.

Pool owners/operators and consumers who have one of the recalled pool or spa drain covers should immediately contact the manufacturer to receive a replacement or retrofit, depending on their make and model. Except for kiddie pools, wading pools and in-ground spas, retrofit or replacement of installed covers are not required in pools with multiple drain systems or gravity drainage systems or for covers installed before December 19, 2008.

The recalled drain covers were incorrectly rated to handle the flow of water through the cover, which could pose a possible entrapment hazard to swimmers and bathers.

Latham Pool Builder Academy Wings of Steel

2011-04-25T10:41:00.000-07:00

The Pool Builder Academy began with measuring and marking the location for the pool. We then watched as the excavator did a fantastic job on excavating for the pool. When the hole was ready, the pool walls were positioned in the hole, bolted together, squared and leveled. The pool was completely plumbed and the concrete collar was poured around the base of the pool walls to end off the day.

Day two began with us dividing the attendees into smaller groups. While working with our group, we installed our polymer housing, one piece rounded vinyl liner encapsulation with 2 ft radius corners and our flush deck lid. While we were installing our components, another group worked on applying a sand/concrete mix to the bottom of the pool. We all worked very quickly on this day as we were working on beating the rain that had been threatening all morning. We all worked together to drop the liner in place then watched as water trucks filled the pool.

We started day three at the hotel going over product presentations. We had the first hour to discuss the benefits of automatic covers, and why they should buy a Coverstar automatic cover. Latham then did a presentation on their products. They also gave instruction on how to measure for a new liner. We then went to the job site to see the progress of the pouring of the concrete deck.

The morning of day 4 was spent installing our system. We worked with the attendees and completed the full cover system installation. All of the attendees were impressed when they saw the cover operate. Some of the attendees had some prior experience working on some of our competitors systems, and after seeing our system, recognized that it is a high quality product.

Pool Builders Academy

2011-04-15T06:27:00.000-07:00

This month, Latham International and affiliates gave flight to a family’s dream.

From April 10 – 14, 2011 Latham International, the largest manufacturer of inground residential swimming pool components, with their continued commitment to giving back, donated their seventh inground swimming pool to a very deserving family.

“We started working with local dealers around the country that we sell our products to – to identify charitable causes that can use water therapy,” said Peter Moran, Technical Services Manager of North America. Peter runs two pool builds each year, dubbed “pool schools”.

The Beck family of Sicklerville, NJ is anxiously waiting for summer to begin so they can enjoy their brand new inground swimming pool, built very recently by members of Latham International’s Pool Builders Academy. This family was chosen based on the compassion and drive they have to help each other overcome difficulties and achieve dreams.

Having raised two children of their own, parents Chuck and Dorothy Beck, have adopted ten beautiful children: Emily, Dakota, James, Marlyn, Serena, Joshua, Isaiah, Gianna, Jesse and Shamar — ten children who look forward to enjoying splashing, swimming, water therapy and spending time with one another in their very own pool.

“Several of our children, like Gianna (age 9) and Jesse (age 12), they have spina bifida and cerebral palsy and spinal cord injuries. And just the therapy of it, the water therapy of it would be really good,” said grateful mom Dorothy Beck. “I can’t wait to swim in it,” said Joshua Beck, age 7.

The children range from 20-months-old to 20-years-old and are from different places — like 9-year-old Gianna who is originally from Haiti. She has severe cerebral palsy, but is very sweet and is completely dependent. Three children (Jesse, 12; Isaiah, 12; and Raymond, 19) all love to play sled hockey. Jesse has a rare form of spina bifida. Isaiah was born with many heart defects and has orthopedic issues, is deaf in one ear and has major learning disabilities. Raymond has been a paraplegic since he was 10-months old. Adopted at 5-years old, he has been playing sled hockey for the last 10 years, which has allowed him to travel the country and the world.

We at Latham are proud to have donated the entire pool kit, which includes the wall panels, braces, steps and liner. We’re equally proud of the companies who supported our efforts and donated their time and or materials. This combined effort included, construction equipment, stone for backfill, permits, landscaping and crew time donated by the host builder, "The Pool Store," and Toni Williamson. For the past three builds, Pentair has also helped out with these academies, conducting a seminar on hydraulics and assisting with the proper set up of the Pentair hydraulic system. Coverstar, a division under the Latham International umbrella, donated the automatic cover for the pool and were responsible for a seminar on the assembly and installation. Superior Pool Products (SPP) located in Blackwood, NJ donated all the white goods, stainless steel handrails, plumbing fittings and pipe, safety rope and more.

“They (Latham) said we wanted to find a local family so they said sure, you guys can do that, so then we were introduced to Dorothy and Chuck Beck,” said The Pool Store’s Toni Williamson.

For the builders, the days were filled with hands-on courses designed to teach contractors the technical skills needed to build residential vinyl liner in-ground pools — and for a good cause. The course topics included code awareness, pool layout and excavation, panel and step assembly, automatic cover installation, plumbing/hydraulics/filtration assembly, concrete bond beam and bottom installation, receptor options and liner installation, deck pour/float and safety – all from APSP certified builders. Participants earned 32 hours of APSP technical credit for completing the course, but more importantly – the priceless memory of helping out a well-deserving family!

“All of us at Coverstar, LLC are excited to participate in this event. It has been a fantastic experience and my fifth build,” said Kevin Losee, Project Manager for Coverstar, LLC.

We are proud to give back to the community and will continue to do so semi-annually for every Pool Builders Academy we host.

Other recent builds include: Grace Harbor in Cropwell, AL (a Christian-based recovery facility/home being used to house women in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program, as well as women who’ve paid their debt to society), the Crumley House Brain Injury Rehabilitation Center in Johnson City, TN; the Lighthouse Ranch for Boys in Loranger, LA and the Tupelo Children's Mansion in Tupelo, MS, which offers temporary and longer-term care to children in need of a safe and loving environment.

Headquartered in Latham, N.Y., Latham International is the largest manufacturer of inground swimming pool components in North America with 15 locations throughout the U.S. and Canada. It was founded in 1956 by Merrill Laven, father of our current President and CEO, Mark Laven.

Everyone has played the classic swimming pool game of “Marco! Polo!”, right? Now there are many other fun and entertaining pool games that can be played with friends and family!

Here are a few fun swimming pool games!

Duck Racing: Run to the store and pick up some rubber ducky and waterproof markers. Make a number on the bottom on each ducky. Have each person choose a duck and drop them in the water at the starting point. Pop a balloon for your starter’s pistol and watch the duckies waddle to the other end of the pool. First one to the end WINS!
Beach Ball Races: Give each guest a beach ball and the one who can push it to the opposite end of the pool, with their NOSE, first becomes the winner.
Treasure Hunt: Gather up some items from around the house that will sink to the bottom of the pool and are easily visible and maybe some that aren’t so easy to see. Have everyone close their eyes or turn around as you throw the items into the pool. Whoever finds the most treasures wins!
Raft Race: If you have a long enough pool, have your friends and family get on a raft like inner tube and paddle from one side of the pool to the other using only your hands.
Marco! Polo!: This classic pool-time favorite is always a great choice. Blindfold one guest and have him/her yell out “Marco!” which the other guests yell out “Polo!” Whoever the blindfolded guest touches becomes “it.”

Absolutely not. That wouldn’t be any fun. And fun is what your pool is all about.

Pool maintenance used to be a big time drain. No longer!

Today, thanks to industry technology advances, your pool can be virtually maintenance free. At the same time it provides you with a beautiful vinyl liner, smooth friendly surface and, of course, durability.

Pool Safety

2011-01-03T10:39:00.000-08:00

Smart pool owners always think safety first. They take specific steps to ensure that their family, friends and guests are knowledgeable about the safe and sensible use of their pool. They also always ensure that:

their pool is never used unless there is adequate supervision
their pool is kept in good repair and is not used when there is a missing or broken drain cover or other component
ALL CHILDREN using their pool are supervised constantly
anyone under the influence of alcohol, drugs or stimulants that impair their judgment abilities does not use the pool
their pool is protected by appropriate barriers to unsupervised entry including fencing with self-latching gates, safety covers, alarms, etc.

At Sterling Pools, we encourage you to talk with all members of your family about pool safety and we promote a “feet first” approach to entering your pool — much safer than diving.

Sterling Pools supplies each new pool owner with a number of very important items of safety literature and we strongly encourage you to read each item carefully and follow its instructions:

Pool Owner’s Safety Handbook
Association of Pool and Spa Professionals (APSP) “Sensible Way” book
Vinyl swimming pool liner warranty information
“Children Aren’t Waterproof” book
“No Diving” labels
Safety plaque and “Notice” card

How a Sterling Pool is Built

2011-01-03T10:00:00.000-08:00

At first the process involved in building an inground swimming pool can seem daunting. But, that's why you've got a Fort Wayne Pools Strong Support builder to guide you through the process. Your builder will help you design a pool that fits your family's needs, wants and budget. Then he/she will help you get all the proper permits from your local municipality.

Step One
Your Strong Support builder will layout, measure and mark off the pool shape in your backyard. The real fun begins with the excavation. That huge gash in your backyard may look scary now, but in no time at all it will be a new source of enjoyment and entertainment for your family!

Step Two
Setting the wall panels and braces. The pool really starts to take shape here.

Step Three
Installation of plumbing and electrical equipment. This includes piping, pumps, lines for special lighting, water features, etc. If you aren’t adding a lot of special features now but think you might want to upgrade your pool in the future, let your Strong Support builder know. It’s usually much easier to add extra plumbing and electrical capacity when the pool is first built than it is to go back and add it later.

Step Four
Pouring of the concrete bond beam and pool floor. The bond beam surrounds the outside of the pool walls and the braces and holds everything in place, nice and tight. The pool floor is poured precisely so that the liner will fit like a glove.

Step Five
Backfilling. Dirt is moved back around the pool, covering the braces, bond beam and plumbing and creating the base for your decking.

Step Six
Installation of vinyl liner and coping. The liner snaps into a special track along the coping and then a vacuum sucks out excess air between the pool wall and liner, ensuring a snug fit.

Step Seven
Pouring of the concrete deck. The options here are endless: pavers, stamped concrete, brick. Beneath the surface, Fort Wayne Pools’ bracing system works to support the decking and keep it from shifting or cracking.

The last step is to finish the area with landscaping, patio furniture, lighting, fencing, and other accessories. This is where your dream backyard really comes to life. Enjoy your Sterling Pool!

Disclaimer:The process shown above may vary among Strong Support builders based on the characteristics and complexities of each pool constructed. The above is meant simply as a guideline to outline the basic steps involved in building an inground pool and all builders should rely on the Fort Wayne Pools installation guide for Sterling pools as a proper reference manual.

You are a celebrity when you own this Sterling Pool. Why? Because the design is called Celebrity and you'll feel like one when you enter your backyard!

Take a look at the beautiful landscaping, the stamped concrete deck and the outdoor living space. WOW!

This is all possible just by contacting a Sterling Pool builder near you and choosing which pool design will work best for your yard and how you plan to use your pool.

FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN PURCHASING A POOL

2010-12-30T11:54:00.000-08:00

How do we plan to use the pool?

Will it be for recreation, exercise, entertaining, or some combination of all of these? If you have a general idea of your intended use of the pool, it can help you work through the design process.
Do we have the time to maintain a pool?Different types of pools require different levels of maintenance. Some, like vinyl liner pools, are relatively simple to maintain. It can take just a few minutes a week to check water and chemical levels.

What will our backyard accommodate?

If you live on the side of a cliff with a steep grade and little or no access for construction vehicles, then you may run into some problems! If you have a tiny backyard but want an Olympic-sized pool, it may not be possible. But for the most part, pool builders are very talented and creative when it comes to designing pools to fit in tight or awkward spaces.
