FAQ’s
Pool Decking Concrete Texturing
Concrete texturing, generally called imprinted or textured concrete is a technique of concrete finishing that outlines a view of natural stone, such as flagstone or slate, brick, and even wood. This can both a more pleasing look to your pool surround as well as adding a safer surface, reducing chance for slipping.
Extra Concrete
As a standard, Pools by Angelo supplies a 3-1/2 foot wide concrete pad surround to the perimeter of the pool. This pad is strenthened by using proper grading below and aprox 4″ thickness with a rebar web integration. There is an up-charge to increasing this size, as well as adding a patio or walkways.
Cantilever
With Cantilever coping the concrete is extended over the edge and covers the pools shell giving the pool a high-end finished look.
Standard
Our standard coping is a vinyl overlay protecting the top of the pool liner.
Coping
Coping separates the swimming pool shell from the surrounding surface area and helps to protect the pool structure. Coping is designed to stop water from getting behind the pool shell and, if coping is installed properly, water that is splashed out should flow away from the pool and down into the nearby drains.
Automatic Pool Cleaner
At Pools By Angelo, we recommend the Polaris P945 robotic pool cleaner. It features a rear water cleaning stream which blows debris off stairs and out of tight corners. Its over-sized suction intake allows it to ingest larger debris effortlessly. With durable Aqua-Trac tires and Vortex Vacuum Technology, the P945 tackles any pool terrain and climbs over obstacles without getting stuck. It cleans all pool surface types and scrubs the floor, steps, walls, and tile line with a pleated scrubbing brush in as little as 1.5 hours.
The P945 cleans pools up to 50′ in length. It includes a new premium, compact transport caddy that can be assembled in just minutes without using any tools. Model is backed by a 2 year limited warranty.
Variable Speed Pumps
Variable-speed pumps are the ultimate way to save energy while enjoying your pool. Most other variable speed models, however, are oversized when compared to medium-head pumps such as Hayward’s Super Pump VS. The Super Pump VS features an ENERGY STAR rating, is right-sized, particularly for applications with 1.5-inch plumbing, providing tremendous energy savings that result in an even faster return on your investment. The new intuitive time-clock makes programming even easier.

Stairs
Pools By Angelo offers two general types of step categories for inground pools: vinyl-over and Fiberglass molded pool steps. Both use the finest construction designs and materials and are backed by industry-leading warranties, which provide years of enjoyment within your pool.
Vinyl-Over steps allow for both standard stairs and custom-designed solutions for current and future pool features within the perimeter of your pool while molded steps offer specific step shapes that are added beyond the pool walls. The two key decision factors between the methods tend to be imagination and budget.
