"They transformed our backyard in the best way possible. Even to this day a full year after the pool went in, they are always there to answer any questions I come up with regarding the pool, the equipment, and even the landscaping around it."

"Cesar is incredible. I am keeping his number for any future pool needs. My pentair heater had a service light on. We tried troubleshooting on our own but needed someone who knew what they were doing to take it apart and get inside, and I am so glad we found Cesar. He was able to squeeze me in quickly even though he had a pretty packed schedule, he was prompt, knowledgeable, and very responsive and communicative with me throughout the week. He had to order us a new sensor and install it. The entire job, from the initial service call to ordering the part, getting it in, and installing it was completed in less than a week. I canâ t say enough good things about Cesar at Solis Pool & Spa! Thank you for your speedy work! My boys are so excited they can finally swim in a pool warmer than 70 degrees lol!"

"I needed an emergency repair to a under ground pipe. Jaime came out immediately, assessed the situation and made the repair within hours. I can't thank him enough for getting my pool up and running again before the weekend."

"There was a terrible storm overnight and my pool and spa looked horrific my pool was green and had a bunch of leaves and branches in it, I was hosting a big party for an engagement celebration the next day, so I was very stressed out, I had called other pool companies and received no response, when I reached out to Marco, he responded right away, was very empathetic to the urgency of my situation and he was able to come first thing in the morning and he made my pool look amazing! He’s a very honest and extremely professional person, I will only ever trust him to work on my pool from now on! He’s the best person you can ever hire to work on any and all of your pool needs!"

FAQs for pool construction and installation projects in Des Plaines, IL

Running a pool pump continuously significantly increases your monthly electricity expenses. With a single-speed pump, you might see costs toward the upper end of the average range, potentially reaching $150 per month depending on your pump's horsepower and local electricity rates. 

Variable-speed pumps would be more economical even with continuous operation, but would still increase costs above normal. However, 24/7 operation is rarely necessary for residential pools, as most require only eight to 12 hours of daily filtration.

Yes, LED pool lights provide substantial energy savings compared to traditional halogen fixtures. Industry data indicates LED lights are five times less expensive to operate than halogen alternatives, while providing equivalent or better illumination. Though LED fixtures often have a higher initial purchase price, the energy savings and longer lifespan make them a cost-effective choice for pool owners who enjoy nighttime swimming.
