Trevi Pools and Spas announced an expansion of operations to Vernon and Lake Country in the Okanagan Valley. The initiative responds to growing demand for local pool installation, maintenance, and repair services, providing on-site support. This follows 15% growth in Okanagan pool ownership since 2020, driven by remote work trends enabling backyard renovations according to local real estate reports.
Trevi Pools, established over 50 years ago, manufactures in-ground pools, above-ground pools, and semi-inground pools from its Kelowna base serving neighborhoods including Glenmore, Rutland, Dilworth, Pandosy, Lower Mission, and Upper Mission (postal codes V1V, V1Y, V1W, V1X). The company now extends coverage to Vernon's V1T and V1B postal areas plus Lake Country, where Better Business Bureau listings show fewer than five dedicated pool service providers compared to over 20 in Kelowna. This addresses a documented service gap in North Okanagan communities experiencing 8% year-over-year residential growth per Statistics Canada data.
Trevi's semi-inground pools address sloped and hilly properties prevalent in Vernon and Lake Country, where 35% of residential lots exceed 15% grade per municipal planning records. These pools install partially above grade on engineered footings, minimizing excavation costs and site disruption while providing permanent structures suited to clay-heavy soils (plasticity index 20-30) common in the region. Services encompass custom installations of Canadian-manufactured pools designed for -20°C winters to 35°C summers; pool liner replacements in vinyl patterns with UV protection; maintenance including cleaning, water chemistry balancing (pH 7.2-7.8), equipment inspections, repairs, and seasonal winterization protocols.
Homeowners researching backyard pools prioritize total costs (installation $30,000-$100,000+, annual maintenance $1,500-$3,000), site suitability for sloped terrain, ongoing maintenance requirements, safety features like fencing and anti-entrapment drains, and contractor reliability via reviews/references. Family needs lap swimming for exercise, recreational areas for children, entertaining spaces for gatherings, optimal size/shape configurations, features including LED lighting/slides/heating systems, and seamless landscaping integration influence 70% of purchasing decisions according to industry surveys. Trevi provides customizable designs accommodating these preferences alongside CSA-compliant safety standards.
Okanagan homeowners face unique challenges with seasonal use patterns where pools remain idle 6-8 months annually due to freeze-thaw cycles averaging 50 cycles per winter. Trevi's Canadian-manufactured pools feature reinforced walls tested for local climate extremes, complemented by comprehensive winterization services including draining to below skimmer level, equipment protection with anti-freeze solutions, and chemical stabilization preventing algae growth. August 2025 enhancements announced local news include in-house water testing for 12 parameters (pH, chlorine, alkalinity, calcium hardness), eco-friendly chemical alternatives, technician certifications from industry associations, and regional supplier partnerships keeping 70% of materials within 100 km of installation sites.
Prospective pool owners typically obtain 3-5 contractor quotes, review portfolios of completed projects, verify licenses/insurance, request customer references from similar installations, and examine warranty terms covering structure (20-25 years), liners (5-10 years), and equipment (3-5 years). Trevi holds a 2024 CommunityVotes nomination for Kelowna services and averages 4.8/5 stars across 25+ HomeStars reviews noting reliable scheduling and communication. Pools comply with Canadian Standards Association (CSA) B149.1 safety requirements including anti-entrapment drain covers, depth markers every 50 cm, and non-slip decking.
Spa services cover sales, installation, and maintenance of energy-efficient hot tubs meeting British Columbia electrical (CSA C22.1) and plumbing codes, providing year-round outdoor recreation during non-swimming months.
Paul Talon, Trevi Pools and Spas Kelowna representative, stated: "We have always been committed to offering high-quality service to our clients. This new initiative demonstrates our commitment to improving the experience for our pool and spa owners in expanding communities like Vernon."
Regional data indicates 25% of Okanagan homeowners plan pool upgrades by 2026 per chamber of commerce surveys, alongside 10% annual growth in residential pool permits. The Vernon expansion reduces customer travel emissions equivalent to 20,000 km annually while supporting local employment through technician hiring and Okanagan-based material sourcing. Consultations for Vernon and Lake Country projects begin December 1, 2025, via trevipoolsandspas.ca.
This development aligns with industry trends toward localized service hubs as remote work sustains demand for backyard amenities across growing Okanagan communities, positioning Trevi to meet documented consumer research priorities through verified manufacturing and service capabilities
