A pool company built for the entire ownership journey.
Burton Pools and Aquarius Pools & Spas are built around a fuller ownership model: planning, construction, service, seasonal care, hot tubs, retail water care, and local support after installation. That structure helps make the process clearer and protects your investment long after the build is complete.
A support model designed to reduce uncertainty for homeowners.
A pool project is not just a purchase. It is a long-term backyard investment with planning, production, startup, maintenance, and service implications.
Planning that starts with real project fit
We use early conversations to understand your goals, property conditions, timing, priorities, and budget direction so the next step is more realistic.
- Guidance across fiberglass, vinyl liner, and gunite pool types.
- Early alignment around features, layout, and total scope.
- Site realities considered sooner, including access, drainage, elevations, and utilities.
Construction informed by ownership
Build decisions affect maintenance, circulation, equipment access, owner usability, and long-term reliability. We approach construction with the ownership experience in mind.
- In-ground support for fiberglass, vinyl liner, and gunite pools.
- Feature planning tied to how the backyard will function.
- Better coordination around milestones, sequencing, and expectations.
Service, repairs, and seasonal care
A major differentiator is what happens after the pool is finished. We support owners with openings, closings, repairs, troubleshooting, and ongoing service needs.
- Pool opening and closing support.
- Equipment repairs and troubleshooting.
- A local team owners can continue to reach after completion.
Retail water care and owner support
A physical location for testing, chemicals, parts, accessories, and guidance creates a stronger support model than a builder that disappears after installation.
- In-store water testing and treatment guidance.
- BioGuard, SpaGuard, filters, accessories, and ownership support.
- Hot tub and spa showroom guidance plus local support.
Aquarius / Burton approach compared to construction-only models.
The goal is not just to build the pool. The goal is to support the homeowner before, during, and after installation.
Trusted brands. Local support. Long-term ownership focus.
Product alignment matters because homeowners live with these decisions long after construction is complete.
Manufacturer and product alignment
We focus on product lines that support better ownership outcomes, clearer maintenance paths, and stronger local support after the initial sale or installation.
- Fiberglass pools: River Pools.
- Vinyl liner systems: Latham and McEwen Industries.
- Water care and chemicals: BioGuard.
- Hot tubs and spas: Sundance Spas.
Helping homeowners compare pool types with more clarity.
There is no one-size-fits-all pool. Each type has tradeoffs in cost, timeline, flexibility, finish, maintenance, and ownership.
Vinyl liner pools
A flexible and value-conscious in-ground option that can work well for many backyards while still offering strong design variety.
- Often a more budget-friendly path into in-ground pool ownership.
- Broad flexibility in size, shape, and layout.
- Long-term planning should include future liner replacement cycles.
Fiberglass pools
A streamlined construction path with smooth surfaces and simpler day-to-day ownership when shell options fit the property and goals.
- Often a faster installation path than many custom builds.
- Smooth surfaces that are easier to clean and maintain.
- Shape and sizing depend on available shell molds and site fit.
Gunite pools
The most flexible option for clients who want a highly customized result, a unique backyard layout, or a premium feature package.
- Highest level of customization in shape, finish, depth, and features.
- Strong fit for luxury outdoor living and custom backyard design.
- Typically a longer construction path and higher investment level.
Our recommendation standard
We recommend what best fits the site, budget direction, backyard goals, and ownership expectations.
A cleaner path from consultation to long-term ownership.
The goal is to move clients through a clearer process with better information, stronger planning, realistic sequencing, and support after startup.
Consultation and early alignment
We start by understanding project goals, timing, budget direction, site conditions, and the backyard result the customer wants.
Design and scope definition
Pool type, layout, access, drainage, equipment planning, elevations, decking, and features shape the final project path.
Build, startup, and handoff
Construction moves through real milestones, then transitions into startup, customer education, and ownership guidance.
Support after the build
The relationship should not stop when the pool is finished. We support owners through service, openings, closings, retail water care, parts, and ongoing questions.

What makes your company different from a construction-only pool builder?
We operate with a broader ownership-support model that includes guidance before the project, construction support, service, seasonal care, hot tubs, retail water care, and local follow-through after installation.
Do you help customers compare fiberglass, vinyl liner, and gunite pools?
Yes. We explain the real tradeoffs around budget direction, timeline, maintenance, flexibility, and long-term ownership so the customer can choose a path that fits the property and goals.
Why does your local storefront matter?
A physical local presence means customers can still get water testing, chemicals, parts, troubleshooting help, and guidance after the build.
How do you support customers after the pool is completed?
Through service support, repair coordination, pool openings, pool closings, water care guidance, and local retail help for chemicals, parts, and ongoing questions.
Why does company longevity matter on a large backyard project?
Major projects benefit from companies that have local roots, a real support system, and the ability to stay accountable over the long term, not just during the sale.
