Treasure Island

The Sea Jay Motel Coastal Pool and Waterscape

This significant pool installation at the Sea Jay Motel, located on the picturesque Isle of Capri in Treasure Island, Florida, is designed as a primary guest amenity, combining spacious function with a sophisticated coastal aesthetic and heavy-duty commercial equipment.

Resort-Level Design and Aesthetic

The pool boasts substantial dimensions with a manageable depth range of 3.5’ to 5’ , maximizing usability for all guests. The design features a blend of natural textures and modern elements:

Dual Entry Sunshelves: The pool provides exceptional access and relaxation with two sun-shelf entrances on opposing sides . These large, shallow areas are ideal for in-water lounging and easy entry.

Central Waterscape: A dramatic, central waterfall wall serves as the pool’s focal point, featuring three sheer descents that provide soothing sound and visual appeal.

Deck-to-Pool Features: Modernity is added with two LED Laminar deck jets , which create arching streams of water that can be illuminated with vibrant colors at night.

Durable Coastal Finishes

All materials were selected for their aesthetic appeal and ability to withstand a high-traffic, saltwater environment:

Deck and Coping: The entire surround utilizes the durable, premium texture of Flagstone Pavers in a cohesive White/Pewter color palette. The pool edge features Bullnose coping , while the expansive pool deck uses City Stone Demi pavers , providing a cool, slip-resistant, and aesthetically pleasing surface.

Water Color & Tile: The interior is finished with PMM BlueStone Quartz , a durable aggregate that produces a rich, deep blue water color, perfectly mimicking the tropical ocean. This color is complemented by GEOSTONE GEO BLUE PTRN 6×6 tile at the waterline, adding texture and vibrant blue detail.

Commercial-Grade Performance Equipment

The system is equipped with robust, separated components designed for heavy commercial use and guest comfort:

Dual High-Efficiency Pumps: Circulation is handled by a dedicated StaRite IntelliPro 3HP pump, while the water features (waterfall and deck jets) are powered independently by a Pentair IntelliFlo 3HP pump, optimizing flow and energy use for each function.

Filtration and Heating: Water is kept sparkling clean by a large-capacity PLM300 Cartridge Filter . An efficient Gulfstream HE150RA Heat Pump provides reliable temperature control, extending the swim season for guests.

Advanced Sanitation: Sanitation is ensured by the high-capacity Hayward CAT2000 automated controller, utilizing 45M4 Stenners (Stenner pumps) for precise chemical delivery, critical for maintaining public pool health standards.

Lighting: The motel’s evening ambiance is set by Pentair IntelliBrite Architectural Series Colored LED Lights , allowing the management to customize the pool’s mood and visual appeal.

This pool provides the Sea Jay Motel with a high-end, reliable, and visually stunning guest amenity.
