There first choice was the Endless pool. A well made current-generating pool that fits in very small places. But because they lived on a hill, the only viable spot for this pool would have required them to reinforce the hill side - a $40,000 expense. They thought to save money by going with a regular pool, but still could not get around the reinforcement expense. Then they found our website. They quickly realized that they could not only get a custom pool to fit in some "dead space" on the side of their house - but that going with our portable lap pool design would save them even more.
They first called us and asked if we could make this custom size. We, of course, said yes. Then they went about making improvements to the area. In effect, they created a whole new area in their yard for this custom portable EZ Pool. Cleared the area, poured concrete, put in nice fencing and lighting, and finished up with landscaping. In the end, they had a beautiful lap pool for about 1/10th the cost of going with the hillside reinforced pool.
About a year later, we were told that the pool saved his life. Unknown to both Paul and his wife was that Paul almost had a heart attack. The stress brought on by the accident, the impact of the damage to his body and the stress of trying to treat the damage (and subsequent pain) along with the stress of just living in Los Angeles almost killed him. But the moment they installed the pool, he was able to swim as many times a day as he needed - without fighting traffic. This brought such a relief in his life that his likelihood of a heart-attack virtually went away.
