Add water features when renovating You can add beauty and music to any pool. The continuous glass-like rod of water shown in the picture pierces the water almost splash free adding intrigue into any pool setting. It is called a Laminar water feature by Crystal Fountain. While it is easier to include water features when the pool is being built, fountains, overflowing spas or cascading water falls are very possible to add in a renovation and can have tremendous impact. Tell us your dream and we will make it reality.
Missing steps in your pool? Over twenty years ago, the majority of vinyl lined pools were built with ladders instead of steps. That shortcoming can be easily remedied now with your choice of walk-in steps or swim-in steps. There are different shapes of steps and colours to choose from - and even larger steps and "buddy seats" for lounging with massage jets to relax you. And if someone in your family is physically challenged or unsteady on their feet, support railings can be added to assist in entering and exiting of the pool. Give us a call and our renovation experts will give you ideas and estimates for bringing your pool into the 21st century with steps, in-pool lighting and other enhancing features.
...for Hot Tubs:
Escape in your hot tub to a truly all-sensory experience with natural plant essence aromas. Awaken yourself and enhance your energies with the many aromas of these aromatherapy products. Awaken - tangerine and grapefruit from China; Enlighten - Asian lemon, Mediterranean cypress, North American juniper berry and Asian basil; Reflect - lavender as per ancient Egyptians and geranium from South Africa; Release - chamomile from southern Europe and clay sage from the Mediterranean; Uplift - Asian green tea and West Indies lime.

Book your Pool/Hot Tub opening online in the CLUBHOUSE section of our website. The CLUBHOUSE is free but only available to Gib-San pool owners. To gain your access code register here. It contains lots of information on operating and maintaining your pool and hot tub and you can even order chemicals online.
If you open your pool every year – come by the Gib-San Pool & Hot Tub Centre first for opening chemicals and a quick refresher on any details you might have forgotten. Bring your water for testing after you have given your pool an initial shock and algaecide treatment and let it run for a couple of days so we can advise you on the correct water balance. Pool heater maintenance – Every spring you should clean dirt and spider webs from the inside of the heater. The single most important maintenance consideration for a heater, though, is maintaining proper water balance so you avoid corrosion of the heat-exchange element.
