The first step toward an eco-friendly pool is improving energy efficiency. Traditional pool systems can be significant energy consumers, but switching to energy-efficient pool pumps, heaters, and lighting can make a big difference. Variable-speed pumps, in particular, consume less energy compared to single-speed models and can save homeowners a considerable amount on their utility bills. Pairing these with LED pool lighting further reduces energy consumption while providing excellent illumination for evening swims.
Water conservation is another critical component of sustainable pool ownership. Out Back Pool and Spa Creations suggests using pool covers, which reduce water evaporation and retention, keeping more water in your pool where it belongs. Pool covers also help maintain the pool temperature, which reduces the need for heating, thus saving energy. Additionally, investing in an efficient backwash system can minimize water waste and the chemicals required for pool maintenance.
Speaking of chemicals, minimizing their use is essential for environmental and personal health. Saltwater chlorination systems are a popular choice among eco-conscious pool owners. These systems naturally generate chlorine through electrolysis, reducing the need for chemical additives and creating a more comfortable swimming environment. Saltwater pools are not only easier on the eyes and skin but also a preferred option for those allergic or sensitive to traditional chlorine treatments.
When considering the materials used in pool construction and maintenance, choosing eco-friendly options can further your commitment to sustainability. Out Back Pool and Spa Creations encourages the use of durable and sustainable materials such as recycled glass tiles and Pebble Tec finishes, which are not only stunning but long-lasting. These options reduce the need for frequent replacements and repairs, contributing to environmental conservation and reducing waste.
Landscaping around your pool is another opportunity to embrace sustainability. Opting for native plants and drought-resistant landscaping not only enhances the beauty of the pool area but also requires less water and maintenance. Creating a natural ecosystem with local flora can attract beneficial insects and wildlife, fostering a balanced and thriving backyard environment.
Finally, regular maintenance conducted with sustainability in mind ensures your pool remains efficient. Skimming, vacuuming, and maintaining proper chemical levels not only extend the life of your pool but also enhance energy and water efficiency. By staying on top of maintenance, you lessen the need for more intensive and resource-consuming interventions.
By adopting these eco-friendly pool solutions, you contribute to a more sustainable world while still enjoying the comforts of modern living. Out Back Pool and Spa Creations is dedicated to helping you achieve a balance between luxury and sustainability, ensuring your pool is both a personal retreat and an environmentally responsible feature of your home. Make the change today and discover the myriad benefits of an eco-friendly pool, and embrace a lifestyle that enriches both your life and the planet.

Congratulations, Marline and Family! If you're considering building a pool, look no further. With 40 years of experience, he’s been involved in thousands of projects in one capacity or another. As a nonprofit, we are required to obtain multiple bids before awarding a project, and I can confidently say that no one can compete with Marline's proposal. I know what some readers might be thinking, but rest assured, he delivers unparalleled quality and meticulous craftsmanship that we all expect from a family-owned business. What truly sets Marline apart is his hands-on approach. He personally supervises the entire project starting at 6 AM, ensuring that every detail is perfect. Unlike many companies that show up at the beginning and disappear until the end, Marline is present at every stage of the project, dedicated to excellence. I cannot express how grateful I am for Marline's contribution—not just for building a pool, but for helping us create a stunning 44-acre Recreational Community Center. His vast experience, knowledge, and wisdom guided us through the entire process, resulting in a beautiful facility that will serve our community for years to come. In the end, actions speak louder than words. Above all, Marline is a trustworthy, genuine individual who truly cares about his work and the people he serves. Thank you, Marline!
We have used Marlin for 2 pool builds. He & his team at Outback Pools did an incredible job bringing our vision to life. They were super communicative and responsive throughout the whole process, and the attention to detail they brought to the project was impressive. They were a pleasure to work with and the end result is just amazing. 5 stars isn't enough - they're the real deal.
Amazing Service. We had a tough issue with our water fountain from previous pool builders so we reached out to him for his service and he didn’t give up until the problem was fixed! Amazing person with professional work. Highly recommend.
Outback Pool & Spa Creations recently completed a full refurbishing of our outdated pool and pool deck. Their professionalism, punctuality and experienced staff are friendly and on time. Marlin, the owner, stays on top of the project every day and is just a phone call away. His 30 years in building pools and running projects shows. I highly recommend Marlin and his company.

We had our pool and patio cover built by Marlin and his team in 2023, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, Marlin was trustworthy, dependable, and easy to work with. The quality of the construction has held up beautifully over time, and we still get compliments on how everything looks. It’s clear he takes pride in his work, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable pool builder.
Outback did an excellent job remodeling my pool. Marlin obtained the exact tile we needed for the job and installation was excellent. The remodel turned out the way we had hoped and at the cost that was quoted.
From initial concept and design thru completion and start up. I couldn't be more pleased with Outback pool. One thing I really appreciated was the no pressure sales, designing exactly what I wanted ( with some helpfull suggestions thrown in). I felt revisions were priced fairly, no " bait and switch" techniques used here. We got exactly the pool and pool house we wanted, without exception. Outback is the only pool company I will use in the future.. Stephen Crain
