Oak Wells Pool Design and Construction

At Oak Wells Aquatics, our staff has many years of experience in installing all manner of in ground pools and related structures and equipment, and we are always happy to answer all of your questions and address all of your concerns before, during, and after the pool installation process.
Contact us anytime during our business hours by calling 904-619-3281 for answers to all of your pool-related questions. But here are our most frequently asked questions on pool installation and maintenance:

We can listen to your personal “pool vision” as soon as you call us or visit us on-site. We will catch your vision for what you want your pool to do and how you want it to look. We will then give you the benefit of our experienced advice on how you might best go about meeting your goals. 
From beginning to end, we guide you through the pool design process, helping you to understand what options are out there, what is trending and why, and how each design would factor out as to budget and time-table. But we never “tell” you how you should design your pool: we help you to make an informed decision based on your goals and on our pool-building expertise.

At Oak Wells Aquatics, we can install paved poolside patios, in or near pool benches, steps, and other seating, gazebos and pergolas, landscaping greenery and hardscapes, fountains and waterfalls, interactive water features, hot tubs, spray pads, pool fences, pool screens, overhead and safe in-pool lighting, and more.
In short, we not only can install for you an exquisitely styled, highly durable pool that will last for years and even decades to come, but we can help you create an entire “pool area” that will be ideal to relax in or enjoy with family, friends, and party guests.

The answer to this question is “yes.” We at Oak Wells Aquatics have installed numerous hotel and fitness center pools and pools for other businesses in the Jacksonville Area and beyond. But we have also installed untold numbers of high-quality residential pools for our large and growing customer base.
Whether commercial or residential, we customize your pool to your exact specifications and work on a schedule that is convenient to you, to minimize any disruptions to your home life or business activities during the construction process.

Yes, we can make your pool’s looks match or complement that of your building. Everything from the contours of the pool to the colors and patterning of its tiles, coping, and surrounding pavement can be taken into account.
We know how to create an integrated overall impression that makes your building’s exterior, pool, and pool surroundings all blend into “one.”

As to running your filter, 8 hours a day is plenty when water temperatures are below 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Some even run it as little as six hours in such conditions. But in the hot season or when you have the water well heated, you should run the filter 10 to 12 hours per day typically.

We strongly suggest you do not need to drain your pool annually, and that if you do drain it sometime, that it not be during the winter months. Even in Florida, a rare cold snap could damage a pool bottom not covered with any water. 

Although it depends on the kind and quantity of chemicals used and on your pool’s size and temperature, you should generally wait 8 to 12 hours before swimming.
