Raszl Custom Pools and Spas
We love working with good people who care about the work they do. Kim and Ray Raszl of Raszl Custom Pools and Spas in Ormond Beach are prime examples of our ideal customer. The Raszls were previously subcontracting another company to plaster their pools, but had one unresolved issue too many, causing them to look for another vendor. […]

Working with the Haskell Company
Four years ago Tempool was hired to plaster the fountain at The Haskell Company’s corporate headquarters in Riverside.

The Endless Grind
At Tempool Inc. we like to find alternative applications (for swimming pool finishes) and put our products to the test in unique ways. Our latest product experiment re-visits our crew’s roots in skateboarding. Many of the guys on our team grew up skateboarding and several of them are still avid weekend warriors. When we first […]
Water Movement: Function or Fashion?
Water movement in your pool can be used for function or fashion, and I recommend utilizing both for the health of your pool finish. Moving water can help prevent topical staining while also creating soothing sounds and light prisms in your swimming pool. Water movement from a water feature allows your pool’s water to reflect […]
