Bradenton

This stunning new pool in Bradenton’s Hillwood Preserve neighborhood has been meticulously designed as a compact, luxurious, and energy-efficient backyard retreat, perfectly suited for the Florida lifestyle. Combining the resort-style aesthetic of a coastal oasis with cutting-edge automation technology, this 15’ x 24’ pool provides the ideal space for both relaxation and recreation.

The pool features a sophisticated, smaller footprint—a versatile size that ensures lower maintenance while remaining ample for entertaining, swimming, and cooling off. The design is anchored by a spacious 6′ x 7′ sunshelf , creating a generous, shallow-water area perfect for lounging in the Florida sun or for small children and pets to safely play.

The aesthetic is one of undeniable coastal elegance:

Interior Finish: The water is brought to life by PebbleTec Pebble Brilliance in Majestic Sound . This premium, durable finish utilizes a blend of natural stone aggregate and shimmering glass beads to produce a captivating medium blue water color that sparkles in the sunlight, emulating the clear, vibrant tones of the Gulf Coast.

Decking and Coping: The surrounding patio and pool edge are framed by luxurious Shellock Pavers in Tan by Artistic Pavers. This high-end concrete paver material is uniquely formulated with actual sea shells, which are exposed when honed, creating a natural, sophisticated texture and a warm, sandy tone that complements the blue water finish. The 16” x 8” bullnose coping provides a smooth, elegant transition into the water, while the spacious 16” x 16” decking offers a chic and comfortable sunbathing surface.

Behind the scenes, the pool is powered entirely by Pentair’s highest-performing, most energy-efficient equipment, ensuring a low-maintenance and cost-effective ownership experience:

IntelliFlo3 VSF Pump: The heart of the system is the 3HP Variable Speed Pump, Pentair’s industry leader in efficiency. This VSF technology automatically adjusts flow, saving the homeowner up to 90% in energy costs compared to older single-speed models. Equipped with a relay board and Wi-Fi capability, it provides the foundation for smart, remote control of the pool system.

Complete Pentair System: The setup ensures sparkling clean water and an extended swim season. Sanitation is automated by the Pentair I-Chlor 30 Salt System , which creates soft, natural chlorine. The water is kept perfectly filtered by the low-maintenance Pentair Clean & Clear 150 Cartridge Filter , and comfort is guaranteed by the Pentair UltraTemp 140k BTU Heat Pump , which economically extends the swimming season by utilizing ambient air to heat the water.

Ambiance: Finally, the pool comes to life at night with Pentair Microbright LED Color Changing lights , allowing the homeowner to customize the evening atmosphere with a vibrant array of colors.

Lastly, the entire outdoor space is protected by a premium bronze aluminum screen enclosure . This crucial addition features two downspouts for efficient drainage, two standard doors , and includes a convenient doggy door , ensuring easy access for all family members. The enclosure is fitted with an upgraded Super Screen no-see-um mesh , which provides superior durability and UV protection while preventing entry by the smallest biting insects—a must-have for enjoying the outdoors in Florida.
