Pool Technology Matters: Don’t Let Builders Upsell You Later

In today’s market, the cost of building a pool is higher than ever. Unfortunately, many builders have responded to these rising costs the wrong way — by chasing the bottom.

Instead of designing the best pool for the homeowner, they cut corners up front with cheap equipment, outdated materials, and bare-minimum construction practices, all in the hopes of securing your signature on a contract.

But here’s the catch: once the job begins, an “upseller” shows up at your door. Suddenly you’re told that the “basic” package you bought won’t give you the pool you really want. The upgrades you thought would be included — efficient pumps, better filters, larger skimmers, automation — are now double or triple the fair market rate. What looked like a bargain quickly becomes a financial trap.

The Staycation Creation Difference

At Staycation Creation Pools & Outdoor Living, we don’t believe in surprises — unless it’s how much more enjoyable your backyard becomes when we’re finished.

Here’s how we stand apart:

• All Options Up Front
  From the very first consultation, we present every option available, not just the bare minimum. You’ll see the difference between a small variable-speed pump and a large variable-speed pump, between a sand filter and a cartridge filter, between standard skimmers and Venturi skimmers… and so much more.

• Educated Choices, Not Afterthoughts
  These technologies aren’t new — but they’re often hidden from homeowners until after the contract is signed. We believe you deserve to know about them before you make a decision. That way, you can choose whether to save money today or dramatically reduce the long-term cost of ownership tomorrow.

• Transparency Over Tricks
  We don’t send “upsellers” later. Our goal is to educate you on every piece of your pool system so you can feel at ease with your investment.

• Time and Money Savings
  The right equipment doesn’t just save money on your energy bill — it saves hours of maintenance time every month. That means more time enjoying your pool, less time working on it.

Why This Matters

Building a pool is one of the largest investments you’ll ever make in your home. Don’t settle for a builder who hides critical information until it’s too late.

With Staycation Creation, you’ll know exactly what technology goes into your pool, how it impacts your long-term costs, and why it matters. We give you the freedom to choose — not the burden of being upsold later.
