Float like a butterfly, swim like a fish with the help of Aqua Pools

By Laura Briedis

In Northeast Ohio, we take advantage of every pleasant day—starting early in spring and extending into fall—to enjoy our backyards. Whether relishing a dip in a pool, relaxing in a hot tub or just sitting around a firepit, Aqua Pools helps homeowners create and maintain their outdoor havens.

With a storefront in Bath Twp., and crews all over Ohio maintaining pools, Aqua Pools is your go-to source for everything you need for a pool, fountain, or spa.

The store is stocked with water clarifying treatments, robotic pool vacuums, and a fun array of pool floats and games. Plus, there is a fine selection of high-end firepits to add warmth and ambiance to your backyard.

The new Swimline summer collection of inflatables includes everything from the popular yellow duck, a giant green turtle and a lime slice to brightly colored inner tubes and rafts.

“In addition to pool items, we added handcrafted firepits last summer to our store’s inventory to complement a home’s backyard setting,” says Chris Hlavin, vice president of Aqua Pools. “There are a lot of options with Prism Hardscapes firepits, as you can choose natural gas or propane. They come in a variety of shapes and colors. For added ambiance, you can customize your firepit to include glass or ceramic fire stones.”

Aqua Pools also specializes in pool renovations, repairs and maintenance, offering weekly and monthly plans for both homeowners and commercial facilities. And to make it easier for you to take care of your own pool, this locally owned company installs the Pentair IntelliCenter. This system automates your pool controls so you can turn on your heater, filter and lights from anywhere with the push of a button on your phone.

“We have vast experience servicing large pools at city recreation centers, country clubs and universities,” says Chris. “Plus, we also help local homeowners, whether cleaning and maintaining their pool, resurfacing the pool with new paint or even installing splash pads to add a fun factor in their backyard.”
