During design - we could see realtime changes made to the computer rendering and get a great look at how the finished product would turn out. During construction, our project manager kept us abreast of everything and the crew worked hard, were respectful to our property and family & completed the job within the communicated timeline. We get so many compliments on our pool and definitely recommend Hive to our friends and families."

With over 13 years of experience, Grand Aquatics, Pools & Spas Inc is your number one choice for all of your Pool and Spa needs. We specialize in concrete pools and pool automation. Call us to today for your free estimate.
"We hired Grand Aquatics Pools and Spas to install our pool. We received several other bids/quotes and his was comparable in pricing. We felt more secure going with him as he is on site and does a lot of the work himself. He gave us names and numbers of others in the area that had used his company. They were all happy to allow us in their yard to see the pools he had built and discuss his work ethic. Omar the owner is typically good about responding to calls, emails and text messages. Initially we had a delay getting the proper permits to start work but once we got the permits he was off and running. He knew my wife worked nights and it would be impossible for her to sleep during the day with all the work happening. So while she was off work for surgery he worked diligently to get things finished before she had to return to work. He and his staff were always there when they said they would be and if not they let you know why and when they would return. We never ran into a situation, like many others do, where the contractor leaves for days or weeks at a time. Now that is not to say there were not some hiccups along the way but they were always resolved and in a timely manner. He and his staff were even willing to alter or change things with the build out and patio as we asked. Never once did they balk or say NO we have to go according to the plans. They even came back and added an area to our patio after the fact. There were 2 occasions where we were not happy, unfortunately one has yet to be resolved, although I know since finishing our pool he has become even busier than he normally is. One instance was regarding the heater/chiller. We were to get a chiller included in the price of the pool. Which in Florida is a big deal, most likely we would use that more than the heater. We were not told that the chillers had been recalled by the factory until everything was done. Had we known this prior to the installation of the heater we might have tried to explore other options for cooling the pool in the summer months. He did state that since there was no chiller he upgraded our heater for us. No real way for us to know that, though. The 2nd item involves the pavers and pooling of water in our cover patio area. When laying the pavers for the patio they have to be laid in a way so that the water does not run onto the neighbor’s property, which we know at times can be a challenge. Since being laid during big rain storms we now find an area under or patio where the water pools. We have asked for this to be resolved. Omar was even there one day and saw the problem we were having. He seems to feel the problem stems from the rain barrel we have on the side of our home. The rain barrel has been there 10 plus years and we have never had this problem. His solution was to dig up concrete and pavers and install a big PVC pipe out to the seawall. We did not care for that idea. We asked for another Deco drain to be put in like we have on the opposite side, perhaps just larger to accommodate for the amount of water flowing from that side. Since, we have decided to get rid of the rain barrel and try to tie the gutter into another gutter to redirect the water. All in all we are very pleased with our new pool and backyard. We spend more time out there than we have in the 22 years here. We have referred A LOT of customers to him and I know personally at least 4-5 people have contacted him for quotes."

Optimizing your pool pump's runtime involves scheduling it for eight to 12 hours daily, focusing on non-peak electrical hours. Running your pump strategically not only maintains effective water circulation but also reduces energy consumption. This approach results in noticeable savings on your monthly electricity bill while keeping your pool water consistently clean.
When properly maintained and correctly sized for your pool, your pool pump will last eight to 12 years. Regular maintenance and ensuring the pump's output matches your filter's capacity are essential for longevity. Routine cleaning, monitoring operating sounds, and checking for unstable water pressure help maintain its performance and extend its life.
Unusual noises or erratic operation are signs that your pool pump needs repair. If your pump repeatedly trips the electrical breaker, produces irregular motor sounds, or shows an unexpected increase in your home’s electricity usage, these are clear warning signs that it may require repair or replacement to avoid further complications. Contact a pool repair pro to assess the situation and recommend the best course of action for your situation.
