Why a Bullfrog Spa?

Bullfrog Spas feature state of the art technology and are built to last. They use a patented technology called the JETPAK therapy system. The system is customizable and leaves you feeling like you just had a personal masseuse work their magic. Designed to accommodate all shapes and sizes of people, Bullfrog spas deliver the most relaxing and personalized experience possible. Equipped with various ergonomic seat heights and removable jetpacks, Bullfrog Spas allow you to easily create the perfect spa experience every time. Bullfrog Spas are some of the most energy-efficient spas available and come with an industry-best warranty package.

Spa Health Benefits

  • Heart Health – Immersing yourself in a spa gives you a peaceful cardiac workout. The water puts more pressure on your body, which increases your cardiac volume. Even though you’re relaxed, when you’re soaking in water, your heart works a little harder, giving you the ultimate two for one – workout + relaxation.
  • Better Sleep – Hot water promotes relaxation. Heat increases your body temperature, which relaxes your muscles. This makes you feel tired and relaxed, which helps you sleep. Just don’t fall asleep in the spa!
  • Stress Reducer – Not only does a soak in your Bullfrog Spa help you sleep, but it reduces stress. Reducing stress will help your mental and physical health and promote a feeling of well-being. Most people are carrying stress with them all the time, and a spa is a reliable de-stressor.
  • Alleviate Aches & Pains – You already know hot water relaxes tight muscles. A benefit of the relaxation is reduced aches and pains associated with athletic injuries like muscle pulls and even arthritis. If you’re in pain, a lot of the time a good soak will help you feel better. If you’re rehabbing an injury, regular spa sessions do wonders for recovery.  

Ready for Your Bullfrog Spa?

Now is the perfect time to stop by either of our two Omaha store locations and take a look at our Bullfrog Spa models. You get $1,500 off any model we have. Stop by either our G Street or Elkhorn storefront and see in person what these amazing spas look like. We’ll walk you through all of the models and help you choose the one that’s the best fit for you.

Pool Chemicals

Pool chemical safety is the responsibility of backyard pool owners, professional pool service providers, and community pool managers. If you’re reading this you’re likely a backyard pool owner, perhaps you’ve purchased or are thinking of buying your pool from the number one Omaha pool company – Phoenix Pools. We proudly offer the industry-leading E-Z Pool water care program. If you have a pool or are thinking of getting one, you’re going to need to learn something about pool chemical safety.

Why Chemicals?

Pools can be compared to communal bathtubs. Although they’re a lot more than that, and nobody is using shampoo and soap, the bottom line is oils, dirt, and bacteria that is on people get washed off and mixed in pool water. Chemicals are necessary to help maintain pool water quality. Their role is especially warranted when people ignore the advice to shower before entering the pool – which seems to be most of the time. Each person who enters a pool without showering first brings with them about 0.14 grams of fecal matter. We know it’s gross, but aside from that, it’s dangerous. 

Pool chemicals destroy pathogens that could be ingested by swallowing even small amounts of water. Other chemicals are used to control the pH of the water, which maximizes the effectiveness of the disinfectants. Chlorine-based chemicals, the most popular, do a fantastic job at destroying a wide range of pathogens in pool water.

E-Z Pool Water Treatment

E-Z Pool is a once a week application that keeps your pool water safe and clean. It’s a unique blended multi-tasking formula that eliminates the confusion of adding multiple chemicals every other day. E-Z Pool is the ultimate swimming pool water care program because of the packaged benefits that include:  

  • A stable oxidizer that immediately breaks down contaminants in the water to increase sanitation results. 
  • An algae shield formula that becomes increasingly effective the longer E-Z Pool is used. 
  • E-Z Pool inhibits scale build-up and metallic staining on your pool’s surface and equipment.
  • No harsh chemical residue on hair, skin, or bathing suits.   
  • Reduces the need for excessive testing and chemical additions.

Ready for a Consistently Clean Pool?

E-Z Pool eliminates all the headaches of traditional water maintenance programs that require a multitude of chemicals. The problem with those programs is they are based on a reactive rather than preventive model. They rely on waiting until there’s a problem then treating it. E-Z Pool is proactive, meaning it prevents water problems from ever occurring and the dangers associated with them. 

Stop by either of our store locations and pick up your E-Z Pool water care products today. Find us at either our G Street or Elkhorn locations every day of the week!

Concrete vs. Vinyl Liner Inground Pools

Phoenix pools can install either concrete or vinyl lined custom inground pools. But you might be wondering what the difference is and which one is best for you. Like most things, there are pros and cons to consider with both concrete and vinyl. As your Omaha pool company, we’re here to answer your questions and help you make the best decisions for your unique situation. Let’s dive into the differences between concrete and vinyl-lined inground pools.

Customization

Concrete pools are perfect if you want an extremely deep or large pool. They can be customized in fun shapes and with custom features like tanning ledges.  Vinyl liner pools are mostly rectangular, but it is possible to customize the shape, size, and depth.  Both can be customized, but it’s more expensive to customize a vinyl liner pool and concrete has more available features.

Installation Time

Concrete pools can take three to six months or longer to finish depending on the complexity of the design. A vinyl-lined pool can be completed in as little as four to eight weeks.

Surface Texture

A basic concrete finish can have a rough texture. However, you can upgrade to a polished aggregate finish that will be smooth and looks great. Vinyl liner is smooth aside from where one piece meets another. Both types of pools can be installed to have a smooth texture.

Durability

Concrete, as you may imagine, is incredibly durable. You’ll never have to worry about a concrete pool getting damaged. Vinyl liner is expectedly less durable than concrete. It will still last many years if properly cared for, just not nearly as long as a good concrete pool.  

Maintenance

Both our inground concrete and vinyl lined pools can come with a Vanquish in-floor self-cleaning system. Self-cleaning systems save a lot of time, money, and reduce the cost of pool chemicals. They keep your pool temperature more consistent and extend the life of your pool.

Which One is Best for You?

Budget is a big factor along with your long term plans when deciding if you want a concrete or vinyl lined inground custom pool. If you want a larger and deeper pool with a custom shape and custom features that will last decades go with concrete. If you think you might move or sell your home in 10 years or less, have a smaller budget, and don’t want customization, then a vinyl-lined pool may be your best option.  

Give us a call, and we can go into more details about what you need to consider when deciding what type of inground pool is best for you.

Our 8th Annual Spring Sale is Here!

Take advantage Monday, April 22nd – Friday, the 28th.  These are some of the best deals any Omaha pool company offers for the entire year.

  • 15% off E-Z Pool and all other pool chemicals.
  • 15% off E-Z Spa and all other spa chemicals.
  • 15% off maintenance equipment.
  • $500 off all Doughboy Above ground pools.

Self-Cleaning Pools

While you’re shopping our annual sale ask us about our trademark custom built self-cleaning pools. We can build you a custom in-ground state-of-the-art self-cleaning pool.  One of the biggest expenses and hassles with owning a pool has always been maintenance and cleaning. Like all things in today’s technology age, pools have advanced to the point of being able to clean themselves.

Big $ Savings

The average cost for pool cleaning service is $75-$100 per hour. If you’re just paying for minimum cleaning services, you’re going to spend nearly $2,000 per year! An inground pool is something you’re going to use for years if not decades.  Getting a self-cleaning pool pays for itself very quickly when you look at the numbers.

Better Circulation & Heating

Traditional pool designs use an outdated method of returning filtered water back to the pool through wall inlets near the surface of the water. The problem is the returns don’t put the heated and purified water on the bottom where it is needed. When returning heat and chemicals near the surface, the wind and sun quickly steal them from the water. Tests have shown that non-in-floor pools consume up to 50% more chemicals and 30% more heat!

Our self-cleaning technology returns fresh water to the floor of your pool where it can quickly kill algae and bacteria before it grows. The same powerful jets that clean your pool, efficiently distribute warm, purified water throughout the floor of the pool.

Your Omaha Pool Company

Stop by either of our locations from April 22nd – Friday, the 28th and take advantage of our annual spring sale. If you’re in the market for a spa, we carry the industry best Bullfrog Spas. If you need general service or repair for your pool or spa, we can help you out.  Don’t forget to ask about our self-cleaning pools!

Spring Time is Pool Preparation Time

Bullfrog Spas

Bullfrog Spas are top of the line spas – that’s why we carry them. Bullfrog uses a patented technology called the JETPAK therapy system.

These spas are designed to accommodate all shapes and sizes and give the most relaxing and personalized experience possible. The spas come equipped with adjustable ergonomic seats, and the jetpacks are removable, allowing you to easily move them around to create a custom spa experience. Bullfrog Spas are some of the most energy efficient spas available and come with an industry best warranty package. 

Self-Cleaning Pools

Did you know Phoenix Pools can build you custom inground self-cleaning pool? The most obvious benefit is you don’t have to clean your pool or pay somebody to clean it. The system ends up paying for itself when you consider the maintenance costs of a traditional inground pool. Another thing our customers love is the system efficiently circulates water which reduces the need for chemicals and reduces heating costs.

  • Improved Circulation
  • Save on Chemicals
  • Save on Energy
  • Extend your Swimming Season

Self-Cleaning In-Ground Pools

What’s the biggest drag about owning an in-ground pool? Cleaning and maintenance. In the past, pool maintenance was costly and time-consuming.  It’s why the pool cleaning service business was so big. But today is different. Technology has changed the cost of in-ground pool maintenance. Now you can get an in-ground pool that self-cleans and does an outstanding job.  If you’re looking for an Omaha pool company to install a self-cleaning in-ground pool, you’re in the right place. Let’s find out more about why a self-cleaning in-ground pool is the pool everyone has been waiting for.

Not Robot Cleaning

A “pool robot” is an out the box, one-size fits all device for pool cleaning. An in-floor self-cleaning system is what we’re talking about – not robots. The in-floor system is customized and built into the floor and walls of your in-ground pool. Unlike robot systems, In-floor systems require no work on your part.

Custom Built for Your Inground Pool

An in-floor system is custom built for your in-ground pool’s size, shape, and unique type. The system is designed as your pool is designed for optimal efficiency. A series of nozzles, fixed or rotating head and drains are built into your pool at specific locations, including the floor, benches, steps, etc.

How Self-Cleaning Inground Pools Work 

Using water pressure generated from your pool’s pump, the system’s nozzles and jets push dirt and debris to the deep end of your pool. There it is drawn into was is called a debris removal drain. These are different from common pool drains. Larger materials like acorns, twigs, and leaves go in a debris canister which is easily and quickly emptied. 

Phoenix Pools New Address

If you want to learn more about our self-cleaning in-ground pools or take advantage of our Bullfrog Spa rock bottom prices come see us at our new location. The new store location has officially opened.

8603 G Street, Omaha, Ne 68127

The Perfect Spa for Winter

Winter is coming and if you’ve never sat in a spa when the flakes are flying you’re missing out. Spas are great for any season, but there’s something extra special about using a spa when the temps are freezing and the snow is flying. Phoenix Pools is not only Omaha’s most recognized pool company, but we’re a Bullfrog Spa dealer. Bullfrog Spas are an industry leader in design, comfort, and value. There’s no better time to pick up a Bullfrog spa than now.

Superior Materials

High-end hot tubs, like Bullfrog Spas, are designed to function well, stay warm and hold up through the coldest of weather. The tough acrylic shell, durable parts, wood-free support structure, top quality electronics, and full foam insulation keep your Bullfrog Spa performing for years in any climate.

Energy Efficient

The JetPak Therapy System is a Bullfrog Spa original design that creates a spa with around 90% less plumbing. The majority of the plumbing that does exist is submerged in the spa water. The big benefit is that very little plumbing and water is exposed to the outside environment where it could lose heat. All other spas rely solely on their foam insulation to protect their spa plumbing form losing heat. Bullfrog Spa’s full foam insulation plus JetPak Therapy system dramatically increases energy efficiency. Bullfrog Spas are so efficient that we recommend running them all Winter long instead of winterizing them.

Winter Spas Benefits

  • Stay Warm Outside in the Cold – Who says you can’t enjoy the outdoors when it’s freezing cold and snowing? Hop in the hot tub and enjoy the peaceful serenity and quietness of winter – while keeping comfortably warm.
  • Cold-weather Hydrotherapy – Muscles and joints get sore and stiff during the Winter months. Regular soaks in your spa keeps you feeling limber and helps eliminate stiffness and pain.
  • Holiday Socializing – The Winter holidays bring friends and family to your home. There are few better ways to make things fun than for everyone to jump into the hot tub when the snow is flying.

Omaha Bullfrog Spa Dealer

Come to either of our two store locations and see our top selling Bullfrog Spas in person. With 16 models to choose from you’re sure to find the right spa for you. Stay warm, limber, and stress-free all winter long with a state of the art Bullfrog Spa.
