"A truly amazing job done by absolute pools. I am so happy to be back swimming after years of having issues with my pool. Prior to this fiberglass pool, I had a plaster one that would constantly crack and I couldn't find any solution anywhere. I spoke with many business's about potential solutions but the only one that actually seemed reasonable and within my budget was Absolute Pools. They are extremely professional, clear with their communication, highly experienced, and very fast workers. Also they clean up after themselves very well which is highly appreciated. All in all I give absolute pools a 5/5 stars. Definitely would recommend if you are considering resurfacing your pool."

"They went out of their way to complete in record time the pool resurfacing jobâ including retiling, fixing broken bricks in the patio adjacent to the pool and building a wall around the pool. The pool was completed in time for our successful 4th of July pool party. They were competent and reliable and did an excellent job troubleshooting. We especially appreciated their follow through and suggestions on our pool. Alex was extremely helpful. We also appreciate Jesus very much and we are grateful to their hard-working teams, who worked efficiently to complete our pool project in a timely manner. We also love the finished pool."

"Eddie and his crew was always prompt and efficient, and answered all my questions as the project progressed. The scope of the work increased as problems were found but Eddie had warned me that it could happen. Despite this, he worked hard to retain a modified schedule as quickly as possible. The pool looks great now, and I canâ t wait to swim in it."

"After interviewing and quoting with different companies I finally got all my questions and concerns answered by this company. Everyone would give me the run around and not even give me a direct answer or quote. I needed my pool re plastered but wanted a new design. Jorge was able to give me a few ideas/ designs and took care of re plastering my pool! I highly recommend Oasis Blu Pools!"

FAQs for pool construction and installation projects in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA

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.
