Give a gift the entire family can enjoy

Nowadays, major gift giving primarily centers on personal electronics—smartphones, tablets, gaming and others.

With the exception of family TV night or shared video games, however, most electronic entertainment has the effect of separating family members off to various parts of the house to pursue their favorite electronic activities.

“If you want to bring the family back together, why not give them a fun-filled location to share—the backyard pool,” said Chris Quam, owner of Arizona Pool Guy, Inc. “And the best way to do that is to add a heater to your pool. With our beautiful winter weather, pool fun can be enjoyed all year round, and it’s really affordable,” he continued. “With an energy-efficient heat pump pool heater, it could cost less each month than your cable or smartphone bill to heat a pool.”

Chris suggests thinking of your backyard as an extension of your home, like another family room. “Sometimes we forget about our outdoor area,” he stated, “and, as the kids say, ‘It’s bor-r-ring.’ With a heated pool and a few makeover ideas, you can make your backyard the center of family activities. A pool can be enjoyed by all ages, and it’s great exercise, too. Even though my own daughters are several years apart, the one activity they like doing together when they get home from school is playing in their nice, warm pool.”

Your heat pump, like the heat pump that heats and cools your home, also can be configured as a cooler for your pool, too. “So, next July, when everyone else is swimming in bath water,” Chris said, “your pool will be 10 degrees cooler.”

If it’s been many years since your pool was installed, it could use refinishing. With one of the new pebble finishes, some dramatic lighting and water features, together with attractive new decking, the whole area takes on an exciting feeling.

According to Chris, makeovers should take in family dynamics. If you have younger children, a water slide, volleyball net or waterfalls add to the fun. For teens and adults, a cozy fire pit, neon lighting, in-pool umbrellas and an outdoor barbeque/kitchen area make a great party atmosphere. Not only can you enjoy using it, but it adds value to your home. So, this year, give a gift the whole family can enjoy together.

“We have a team of craftsmen who can design and build your backyard playland to your individual specifications,” said Chris. “Give us a call, and we’ll come out and give you some great ideas and free estimates. We are running a special on pool heaters through January, and we’ll even include a free solar pool cover to save you more money.”  

To contact Chris about a pool heater, or for information on any pool service, installation or repair, call (480) 699-0607. Arizona Pool Guy, Inc. is licensed, bonded and insured, ROC #243628.
