Scott Pahl has been intimately involved in several hundred pool construction projects from design, construction and completion.
Scott, one of the most experienced persons in the pool industry in Southwest Idaho, has been building swimming pools for well over 30 years. He has personally performed all aspects of pool construction, specializing in hydraulics and electrical designs, concrete and soils. Scott began building pools “May 1st, 1979” starting with vinyl liner pools. “Although I got my start building vinyl pools, I was also able to help on the Gunite/Shotcrete pool construction. I was so amazed with the whole Gunite/Shotcrete process, I realized what I wanted to be when I grew up.” He has also installed many one piece fiberglass pools.
While a member of the APSP (Association of Pool and Spa Professionals), Builder’s Council, he served as chairman of the Builder’s Education site for 2 years. “This was an excellent opportunity to raise the bar of pool construction, at the national level.” This involved “…setting up the educational venues as well as developing a ‘hands on’ demonstration site for pool builders across the nation.” Scott’s education is from the “…school of bumps & bruises”, but he does have an Associates Degree in Electronics, graduating at the top of his class. He was also the first APSP Certified Building Professional (CBP) in Idaho.
"My philosophy on pools is that once constructed, they should not cost a lot of money or time to own."
