Salt Lake City Custom Pool Builder

Custom pool costs vary based on size, features (like waterfalls, lighting, or slides), materials, and site conditions. While every project is unique, custom pools typically start at around $100,000, depending on scope and build complexity. We provide detailed estimates during our consultation so you understand the full cost, including design, permitting, and construction.

Lower your pool’s pH by adding muriatic acid or sodium bisulfate. Both materials are pH reducers and are readily available at pool supply stores and online. The bottles tell you how much you need for the size of your pool.

Raise your pool’s pH levels by adding sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). You can also find premixed pH increasers at pool supply stores and online. The target pH should be 7.6.

A 15,000-gallon pool needs a pump operating at about 35 gallons per minute (GPM). The ratio of rotations per minute (RPM) to GPM will vary from pump to pump, but GPM is more important.

A cloudy pool is a sign of an imbalance in the water system. You could have a broken filter, a broken pump, too much chlorine, an algae infestation, or a chemical imbalance.

Our Utah swimming pool contractors estimate a 12-foot by 24-foot in-ground pool could cost around $100,000 . It will depend on the materials you want to use, local building costs, and property accessibility.

A pool vacuum with a telescopic pole handle can clear debris from the bottom, while a net can scoop floating debris from the top. Follow the instructions for your pool vacuum. Remember to keep the water flowing and change filters as needed.

At SBI Waterfalls, we design and build a wide range of custom in-ground pools tailored to your vision and lifestyle. Options include freeform pools, geometric and infinity edge designs, pools with integrated waterfalls or lazy rivers, indoor pools, and pools with slides or spa features. Every design incorporates high-quality materials, personalized features, and expert craftsmanship to create a backyard oasis that complements your home.

Our process begins with an initial consultation to understand your goals, budget, and property layout. We then use advanced 3D design tools to visualize your custom pool and make adjustments before construction. Once approved, our in-house team handles excavation, structural build-out, plumbing, electrical, finishes, and landscaping. Throughout the build, we communicate clearly about progress and timelines.

Construction timelines depend on design complexity, site conditions, and weather. Most custom pools take several weeks to a few months from start to finish. Features such as waterfalls, slides, or hardscaping can extend the timeline slightly. We’ll provide an estimated schedule at project kickoff and keep you informed throughout the build.

A well-designed custom pool can enhance your property’s aesthetic appeal and increase its market value, especially in Utah’s warm summers, where outdoor living spaces are highly desirable. Pools with integrated features like rock waterfalls or elegant landscaping often make homes stand out to both buyers and guests.

Clean the pool. Balance the water chemistry. Lower the water level. Treat with shock and algaecide. Drain the pump, filter, and water lines. Winterize the pool equipment and cover your pool.

First, skim the leaves off the surface. Then, brush the sides of the pool. Next, vacuum the pool. Clean out the pool filter before shocking the pool water overnight. Finally, balance the pool water’s chemical levels.

For cartridge filters, depressurize the chamber, remove the filter, spray it down, replace and repressurize. For D. E. filters, backwash, then drain the tank, remove grids, scrub with D.E. cleaner, and reassemble before backwashing again.

Here are a few ways to lower the chlorine level in your pool:

• Stop adding chlorine.
• Leave the cover off.
• Drain some water and refill.
• Raise the temperature.
• Add a chlorine-reducing chemical, like sodium thiosulfate.

An infinity pool is a pool in which at least one side has the illusion of touching the horizon. The pool uses specially designed edges to achieve a breathtaking effect.

Keep your pool water clean, flowing, and chemically balanced. That means regularly checking your pool’s pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer levels. Clean your pool weekly and your filters monthly.

Turn off the pump. Set the valve to “recirculate.” Open the plugs and release the air. Fill the pump with water. Turn on the pump. Once the water flow is normal, close the pressure-release valves.

Our Utah pool builders recommend you have about 100 square feet per family member. One to three people need a 14 x 25-foot pool, four to six people need a 16 x 32-foot pool, and six to eight people need an 18 x 36-foot pool.

Ongoing pool maintenance helps keep water clean, equipment running efficiently, and your investment in top condition. This includes regular water testing, filtration upkeep, debris removal, and seasonal care like winterization. SBI Waterfalls can guide you on a maintenance plan tailored to your pool’s features (such as waterfalls or slides) and your usage patterns.
