Many families dream of having a swimming pool, a private oasis of fun and frolic, where your backyard is transformed into a reason to stay home. Having a pool changes the way you use your property, adding excitement, peace and beauty all in one.

To do this massive project the right way, you need to depend on a company with years of creating one-of-a-kind, custom pools. You need them to be able to listen to you and to make your wishes the ones they are determined to fulfill. Blue Haven Pools & Spas by Calvitti in Hatfield, Pa., has that sort of history. With its parent company dating back more than six decades to 1954, serving Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, New York and Connecticut, the Hatfield franchise location has been around since 1997—that’s over 20 years of creating pools of their customers’ dreams.  

According to Dominic DiCesare, general manager, there are many ways having your own pool can revolutionize your life. “Pools bring families together. They spend time at home, enjoying the pool, deck and patio areas,” he says. “They also add so much to your family living space. It’s like adding a whole new part to the house.” He says that the health, entertainment and recreation factors are huge. “Plus, travel vacations can be burdensome and expensive. Local recreation facilities are crowded and costly. A private swimming pool provides  its own recreation, especially when combined with a luxurious outdoor living room,” he says.

Blue Haven is a custom builder of residential and commercial pools, covering everything from new builds to renovations, remodels to refurbishments. They use the latest swimming pool construction techniques—including automation and lighting—to  create permanent concrete in- ground pools of almost any shape. “There is a ‘wow’ factor with a pool and the areas that surround  it,” says DiCesare. These can include recreational sundecks, outdoor kitchens, fire and water features and much more.   

Some of the items Blue Haven uses to create cleaner, healthier pools include their exclusive SmartFeatures™ series. SmartSaver™ can lower utility bills as much as 75 percent as its microprocessor-controlled unit works in conjunction with a variable speed pump motor to manage the operation of the cleaning and filtration  systems. The SmartFlow™ Jet System helps automatic, roving pool cleaners to achieve excellent results faster. SmartFilter™ resists attacks from mold, mildew, bacteria and more. The SmartPure® UV/Ozone filter uses a natural process called “ozonation” to drastically cut chlorine levels needed in your pool. The SmartVac® automated cleaner removes grit, dirt and debris from your pool. SmartBrite® accentuates your pool’s interior with a slip-resistant, longlasting  surface smooth to your family’s feet, made with a select blend of ceramic quartz aggregate.

To create the best pool for you, Blue Haven uses all these items and more. But even more important than these state-of-the-art items is their desire to listen to exactly what the client wants and making their ideas the centerpiece of the project. “We do everything to make this a carefree experience,” says DiCesare. “It’s all about what your budget allows. We do our homework, so we know about town permits, storm water management, impervious lot coverage. And we advise customers about everything,” he says. They know an educated client is what is needed to make the process positive for everyone.

With a build time that can vary from six to 10 weeks and a permit process/engineering needs that could add four to eight more, having a company that can navigate these needs is crucial. “We inform the client on everything, so they know what we know. It’s important to us to give the  customer all the attention. The customer guides the process. This is based on what you want, not what we want for you,” he explains.

With a focus on customer wants and needs, DiCesare says Blue Haven Pools just wants their customers to have a truly positive, great experience getting a pool. “This is a big investment so we want the client to feel heard and get their  needs and wants met. We’re all about delivering a better experience,” he says.
