Waterfalls/Features:

Waterfalls and other features can be designed as single elements flowing into a pool or a spa. They can also be constructed to flow from a spa into a pool. They can be constructed of natural materials (granite, limestone, blue stone, etc.), cultured stone or a combination of both.

Lighting:

Colored Sam, LED, Fiber Optic

Automatic Controls or Controls:

The right controls can save energy because they run the systems only at preset times. They can be reset to manual for emergencies.
QDP recommends Hayward Gold Line, Jandy Aqualink and Pentair Intelli Touch

Automatic Cleaners:

The Polaris and the Hayward Viper are easily lifted from the pool when the pool is to be used. Their mesh bags are easily cleaned out.

QDP recommends Polaris, Hayward Viper (similar to the Polaris) and Paramount Pools 'Pool Valet', (which is a floor system).

Pool Water Treatment:

QDP recommends and uses the following:

Sanitation

Healthcare or Superior Aqua
Ionization-Ozone Sanitation System
Replaces chlorine and kills bacteria

Hayward Goldline
Chlorine salt generator system (generates chlorine from salt)
You do not need to buy chlorine.

Del Ozone
Ozone generator generates ozone and bubbles up through the water to sanitize the water.

Filters

Hayward
Diatomaceous earth media (DE).
Most efficient for water clarity, less operating time.
DE filters the water to one (1) micron.

Hayward
Swim Clear cartridge filter.
Filters the water to ten (10) microns

Hayward
Pro Series sand filter.
Filters water to fifteen to seventeen (15 - 17) microns.

Pool Water Treatment:

Salt water pools are becoming a popular alternative. With a salt water system you can avoid the hassle and cost of chlorine while enjoying water that is gentler on your body.
