About essig pools

 

Essig Pools was founded by Dan Essig in 1981. Since then we’ve delighted more than 4000 homeowners with beautiful new pools. And every one of those pools was built the way a pool ought to be built, with a lifetime structural warranty.

 

You see, since the day we first opened our doors, it’s been our goal to build a better swimming pool - A pool that we can be proud of. That’s why we created the “Smart Pool™.” The Smart Pool By Essig includes all the features a great pool should have to be beautiful, safe, and easy to maintain. The Smart Pool has 30% more steel and up to 50% thicker walls than required by South Florida building codes. And it’s built with Shotcrete, not Gunite, so it’s stronger and harder than your average pool, and guaranteed to never leak.

 

Our desire to build an outstanding swimming pool is what drove us to join Aquatech, an exclusive society of high-integrity pool builders. Working with other top-notch pool builders from around the country, the Aquatech programs keep us on the cutting edge of pool engineering and design. Less than 1% of the world’s pool builders have been approved to join the ranks of the Aquatech society. We’re very proud to be part of the Aquatech team.

 

Of course, we’re also members of the Better Business Bureau, the Florida Swimming Pool Association, and the Associated Swimming Pool Industries group. Our founder Dan Essig has been active with the Associated Swimming Pool Industries and the National Spa and Pool Institute / APSP for more than 20 years, including one year as president of both associations. Dan has been chairman of the ASPI ethics committee for the last 6 years, and the APSP Builder’s Council for the past four years. Dan also teaches pool construction at Miami Dade Community College.

 

Essig Pools has received more than 100 awards and accolades from industry experts and organizations. We received the extremely rare “Aqua 100 Hall Of Fame” award, which means we were chosen as a “Top 100 Builder” by Aqua Magazine for 5 years in a row. For many years, Pool and Spa News (another well-respected trade magazine) would to conduct an annual survey of our peers to determine the Industry Choice Awards. We were fortunate enough to be selected 5 times. In 2004, Pool and Spa News began selected the “Top 50 Builders” from throughout the nation. Essig Pools has been among the top 50 every year since then.
