Colour families
We hold no photograph of this finish on one of our own projects, so this page does not show one. Everything above is a colour family, not a picture of a material.
Circulation & filtration
Variable-speed pump
The pump that moves the water, running at whatever speed the job needs instead of flat out. Because power draw falls away faster than flow does, running slower for longer is dramatically cheaper — which is why variable-speed is now the default on new residential pools in California.
Signature cost band
The middle band. Where most of our projects land once the yard is seen as a whole.
Colour families

Families, not products. The exact colour gets chosen off a physical sample against your house.
What is true of this material
- Does
- Circulates the water through filter, heater and returns
- Why variable
- Slower and longer uses far less power than short bursts at full speed
- Noise
- Much quieter at low speed — it matters if the pad is near a bedroom
Ask whoever bids this
“What speed schedule is it being programmed to, and who sets that up?”
