Another decision to make —

what do you intend to get out of your pool.

Are you interested primarily in exercise? A lap pool might be just the thing. Or maybe it’s entertainment and familyactivities that suit you. If so, you need a bigger pool, maybe a large Rectangle or True-L. And if it’s a showpiece youwant, try a San Luis Rey or the Riviera.

Let’s not forget the impressive variety of vinyl liner patterns, any one of which can make your pool uniquely yourown. You even have choices on where to put the stairs.

The bottom line? Once you’ve juggled budget, space and lifestyle, chances are one of our many different standardshapes and sizes will fit your needs.

What youThe coping.The Elite Pool® Coping, what you might think of astrim, is an extruded aluminum edging that creates asmooth and uniform perimeter around your pool. Itholds the vinyl liner in place, and provides a hand-hold for swimmers to rest.

You’ll probably want some way to get in and out ofyour new pool. Well, you’ve come to the right place.In fact, in 1972 we created and built the first poolstairs for vinyl-lined pools. Extremely durable, easyto clean and maintain, our pool stairs are available ina wide variety of sizes and styles. Ask your dealerfor a complete selection of step options.

What you see...

The steps.

We were the first to make stairs for vinyl-lined pools, wayback in 1972. They’re extremely durable, easy to clean andmaintain, and available in a wide variety of sizes and styles.

Our Acrylic/Fiberglass™ stairs are inherently rigid andstrong. Acrylic and fiberglass stairs are vacuum-formedfrom a single piece of snow white acrylic, then hand laidwith multiple layers of fiberglass for unsurpassed structuralsupport; the strength is built into the stair itself.

Thermoplastic stairs are flexible and extremely durable.Co-extruded and vacuum-formed from a single sheet ofABS supported BASF Luran®S ASA is a weatherable poly-mer, which means the Durastep™ is 100% non-corrosive to withstand the elements. Ask about our gray and bluemarble steps that coordinate with our Spill-Over Spas andselect viny liner patterns.

and what you don’t.

Perhaps the most important part of your pool is the wall and bracing system. The Elite wall system is simply the best and strongest in the industry. Ourstructural polymer molding process allows us to produce a pool panel withthick rugged walls that are, in many ways, as strong as steel and impervious tocorrosion. That means it just will not rust or oxidize over time. In fact, we’re soconfident of that strength, we offer a one-time transferable, lifetime warrantyon the pool wall structure. Factory engineered for strength and durability,there is just no stronger support in the industry than that offered by the Elite polymer pool wall. In fact, it has three times the support ribbing found inother structural polymer pools, giving it even greater strength than the typicalpolymer wall. Finally, our Reliance® deck support system uses a series of concrete support pillars (the kind used to supportbridges) that help to prevent your deck from settling.
