Shasta Pools: Reason to Own a Spa

Having a spa at your home or your vacation home can bring a ton or relaxation to your life and we here at Shasta Pools have a list of reasons why you should own one if you don’t already.

Shasta Pools has collaborated on the following reasons:

365 days of pleasure: a spa gives you 365 days of swirling warm water that helps to relax the body and relieve stress.

Life is stressful: sitting in a spa can help to relax a person’s nerves and reduce stress.

Loosen up the joints: a warm bath or 30 minutes in a spa will help to loosen up the joints or help with an injury.

Get a good night sleep: If you soak in a spa an hour before you go to bed it will help your internal body temperature go down and help you get a better night’s sleep.

Togetherness: having a spa will also mean having parties. Bring your friends and family over for some fun. Shasta Pools recommends you do so.

Shasta Pools: When to Remodel

Shasta Pools experts recommend remodeling your pool or updating your pool when a number of things begin to deteriorate. Always be on the lookout for these items to know when your pool should be remodeled:

• The swimming pool’s interior finish begins to wear away
• Tiles begin falling off
• Decking has rotted
• The water features are noticeably different

Shasta Pools also recommends just upgrading the system in the pool that reduces the time and effort that is required to keep the pool looking clean and clear.

Shasta Pools employs remodeling specialists that are trained and certified in remodeling pools and the equipment that is needed to keep the pool clean and safe.

Shasta Pools: More safety tips

The American Red Cross offers these tips to make sure that you enjoy your home pool safely:

These General Water Safety Tips will help you stay safe in, on, and around the water! Also check out our additional safety tips below for specialized aquatic activities.

Home Pool Safety Tips

Learn to swim. The best thing anyone can do to stay safe in and around the water is to learn to swim. Always swim with a buddy; never swim alone. The American Red Cross has swimming courses for people of any age and swimming ability. To enroll in a swim course, contact your local Red Cross chapter.

Children or inexperienced swimmers should take precautions, such as wearing a U.S. Coast Guard-approved personal floatation device (PFD) when around the water.

Watch out for the dangerous “too’s” – too tired, too cold, too far from safety, too much sun, too much strenuous activity.

Set water safety rules for the whole family based on swimming abilities (for example, inexperienced swimmers should stay in water less than chest deep).

Pay attention to local weather conditions and forecasts. Stop swimming at the first indication of bad weather.

Use a feet-first entry when entering the water.

Enter headfirst only when the area is clearly marked for diving and has no obstructions.

Do not mix alcohol with swimming or diving. Alcohol impairs your judgment, balance, and coordination, affects your swimming and diving skills, and reduces your body’s ability to stay warm.

If a child is missing, check the pool first. Go to the edge of the pool and scan the entire pool, bottom, and surface, as well as the surrounding pool area

Shasta Pools Wow Tempe Marketplace Shoppers

Malls, like the products they sell, are ever-changing.  The mall we once knew has been reinvented.  Developers and architects are ripping away roofs and revealing open air plazas with vibrant landscaping.  These outdoor shopping centers are becoming the flagships for surrounding neighborhoods.  A place where people come not only to shop, but to be entertained, allow youngsters to play, eat, socialize and to relax.  It seems that every hip neighborhood has one: Desert Ridge in Phoenix, DC Ranch and Kierland Commons in Scottsdale, just to name a few, and now you can add one more to the list, Tempe Marketplace.

           

At 1.3 million square feet Tempe Marketplace is the largest retail construction project in the Valley since 2001.  The shopping center consists of three distinct areas: a lineup of large chain stores, an open-air shopping plaza with areas for entertainment that’s called the “District” and classic stand-alone retail and restaurant bays.  But what makes Tempe Marketplace stand out is its stunning outdoor water features constructed by Shasta Pools and Spas Commercial division.   

           

Shasta Pools teamed up with Vestar and McCarthy to complete this multi million dollar development.  Shasta Pools Commercial Division was chosen for this project because of its excellent track record and experience in complicated construction projects.  “We knew the Tempe Marketplace water features would include a very popular children’s splash pad but we also added drama with waterfalls backlit by fire elements and color-changing lighting.  Overall, the water features add to the inviting and upscale feel of this community marketplace and invite relaxation,” noted Bill Gullekson of Shasta Pools Commercial Division.

           

Upon entering the shopping center patrons are greeted with an infinity edge water feature; this incorporates a precise perimeter line that allows water to flow in a constant stream across a wide, level area.  The water feature narrows as you walk towards the entrance of the “District”, pointing shoppers in the right direction.  Once in the main plaza shoppers are greeted by a towering sheet of water that pours from the top of a tall travertine wrapped column into a blue tiled basin.  The basin mists heavily, creating a fog that is illuminated by a continuously changing colored light.  The pool of water wraps around the structure leading you to a sitting area that is anchored by a long, corridor-like, fire place.  As you follow the “urban stream” you end up at the beginning and at the opposite side of the fire place.  There, another cascading sheet of water covers the opening of the fire corridor.  The water diffuses the light of the fire so all you see is a soft orange glow.

 

From there, customers continue to experience water features as they progress through the shopping center.  The sound of falling water permeates the open-air space and leads to a playful focal point—a splash pad which is illuminated with colorful lights.  The large jets of cool water shoot into the air and rain down onto children playing.  This is a major attraction and the splash pad is where most of the parents end their day.  Shasta Pools actually sells a backyard version of the splash pad to customers wishing to have this type of aquatic play area at home.  “I have so much fun using the splash pad as a backdrop for my children’s pictures,” frequent Tempe Marketplace visitor, Nicky Rodriguez, says.

 

Tempe Marketplace is a unique example of an architecturally stunning blend of water, air, fire and sound.  It allows residents of Tempe and the surrounding area to make one stop for their shopping, dining and entertainment needs.  Tempe Marketplace and Shasta Pools Commercial division have set the bar high for future open air market places.

 

As the metro Phoenix landscape changes, construction elements change too.  Shasta Pools Commercial Division will continue to impact public spaces with sensational design trends, water features and technology.

Shasta Pools: Swimming Pool Safety Advice

Shasta Pools presents this swimming pool safety information from the

US Consumer Product Safety Commission:

To help protect your family, be sure to take the following steps.

Use Layers of Protection

To prevent swimming pool drownings, layers of protection are essential. Place
barriers completely around the pool, closely supervise young children, and be
prepared in case of emergency.

In addition:

• Knowing how to swim doesn’t make a child drown-proof. Never use flotation devices as a substitute for supervision.
• Keep rescue equipment and a phone next to the pool.
• Learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
• Install physical barriers around the pool to limit access.
• Fences and walls should be at least 4-feet high and installed completely around the pool.
• Gates should be self-closing and self-latching. The latch should be out of reach of small children.
• If your house forms one side of the barrier for the pool, doors leading from the house to the pool should be protected with alarms that sound when the doors are unexpectedly opened. Or, use a power safety cover, a motor-powered barrier placed over the water area, to prevent access by young children.
• For above-ground pools, steps and ladders to the pool should be secured
  or removed when the pool is not in use.

Pool and Spa Entrapment Dangers

Consumer Product Safety Alert

FROM THE U.S. CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION, WASHINGTON, D.C. 20207

Never use a pool or spa with a missing or broken drain cover. Be sure a newer, safer drain cover is in place. The new drain covers are usually domed-shapedinstead of the old flat drain covers.

Have a professional regularly inspect your pool or spa for entrapment or entanglement hazards.

Plainly mark the location of the electrical cut-off switch for the pool or spa pump.

If someone is entrapped against a drain, cut off the pump immediately. Instead of trying to pull the person away from the powerful suction, pry a hand between the drain and the person’s body to break the seal.
