Shasta Industries is working with Fairchild Air Force Base to improve their training facilities. Fairchild is located approximately 10 miles southwest of Spokane, Washington, where more than 5,000 people are employed.  This particular base has played integral roles of the United States’ defense strategy during World War II, the Cold War, and operation Iraqi Freedom. The project includes two pools; a lap pool and a wading pool. The lap pool features all competition components, lanes, starting blocks and lane ropes, for the swimmers use. It is a gutter pool with a surge tank, as well as holding tank, a draindown pump, automated valves and a draindown control panel. The Air Force Base will be using a wave ball in the pool to simulate rough water conditions and other training excercises. These aquatic and training centers are valued just under $900,000. Shasta Industries hopes to continue to build more commercial and olypmyic projects in the Washington area. 

Shasta Pools & Spas’ Commercial and Olympic division recently completed multiple pools at Casino Arizona’s Talking Stick Resort. While totaling over $3.3 million, it includes nearly 20,000 square feet of swimming pools, garden pools, negative edge basins, canals, waterfalls and grand fountains.  Upon entering the casino, you will notice a nearly 5,000 square foot fountain that prepares you for your Talking Stick Resort experience. Apart of the Salt River Indian Community, this resort is expected to attract thousands of visitors. “From the water features as your enter the spa, the negative edge basin on the 14^th and 15^th floor, to the garden pool that offers a different type of serenity, there is something for everyone,” says Whitney Ast, Marketing Project Manager at Shasta Pools & Spas.

It is amazing how many people are choosing to stay home and stay in their homes. Staycation is a new name for an idea that seems to be resonating with homeowners across the country. Many would-be vacationers are turning away from the go, go, go and choosing to stay home and truly relax. For those of us lucky enough to live in the Sun Belt, we can enjoy a Staycation almost anytime of the year. When you look at the financial aspects of a vacation vs. a Staycation it really starts to add up. For example, a brand new Shasta Pool will cost about as much as an average family trip. A reporter who was speaking on the radio recently noted that he had taken the family to Disneyland and the normally packed park was virtually empty. To read more on this article click here.

The addition of the Anti-Vortex Single Channel (AVSC) Drain to the line of pool products offered by Shasta Pools is a great benefit to customers. The technology and engineering is leaps and bounds beyond what some competitor's are currently offering. This new drain is perfect for negative edge pools and can even be side mounted in the pool's interior. If your swimming pool needs more than one pool pump the use of the AVSC is highly advantageous. Instead of the need to plumb four main drains you can install just one AVSC Drain that will plumb to two pumps.
