Are you waiting for summer to buy your inground pool? If you are, you're not alone. As fiberglass pool manufacturers who have installed thousands of swimming pools, we find that most people put off their inground pool shopping until spring or summer.

As a result, pool builders get an influx of customers right when spring and summer roll around. What does this mean for you?

Imagine it: the sun's shining on a beautiful blue summer day. Your inground swimming pool is sparkling clean and crystal clear. You've got your favorite swimsuit on and it's time for a swim. But when you test the water with your foot, you realize... the weather might be amazing, but your pool water is still ice cold. Most pool owners have had a similar experience on days when it otherwise seems like the perfect time to swim. It can be unbearably frustrating... but it is fixable, if you have a swimming pool heater.

Just the idea of calling in friends to help you pull the giant, heavy tarp-like winter cover off the pool in the spring made you almost put off opening your pool another week. Even if you have a more durable version, such as a mesh or solid security pool cover, putting them on and taking them off is difficult. Too difficult to do it frequently enough to keep the pool clean and warm.
