Starwood is ahead of most of the other industry builders in an effort to be more environmentally aware. This new pump technology uses up to 60% less energy than the widely used single speed pool filter pumps. Since the filter pump on a swimming pool ideally needs to run every day, sometimes as much as eight hours a day, this adds up to a substantial energy savings to the consumer. Starwood is proud of this contribution to our environment and will continue to look to new types of energy efficiencies for swimming pools.</p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>Modeling for Toll Brothers</title><id>http://www.starwoodpools.com/press/2008/6/18/modeling-for-toll-brothers.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.starwoodpools.com/press/2008/6/18/modeling-for-toll-brothers.html"/><author><name>Starwood Pools</name></author><published>2008-06-18T22:07:50Z</published><updated>2008-06-18T22:07:50Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p>Starwood Pools has teamed up with Toll Brothers Homes in Austin, Texas to build the swimming pool for the model home in their Vistas at Lake Travis Development. The backyard and swimming pool promises to be a spectacular showcase that blends well with the incredible home they have built. Many of the houses Toll Brothers is building&nbsp;along with the model home overlook beautiful Lake Travis. The swimming pool will have a 40'&nbsp;vanishing edge wall complimented by automatic fire-pots on either side. The entire spa is surrounded by the pool as the spa wall is itself a vanishing edge. The pool will be finished out with a Pebble-Tec interior surface, the surrounding deck is a textured rock-stamped finish. With too many items to list, we recommend you take some time to view this beautiful home and surrounding landscape. The Vistas at Lake Travis is located off Bee Creek Road in the Texas Hill Country just north of the City of Bee Caves.</p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>SWP Now Offers Putting Greens and Synthetic Turf</title><id>http://www.starwoodpools.com/press/2007/9/19/swp-now-offers-putting-greens-and-synthetic-turf.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.starwoodpools.com/press/2007/9/19/swp-now-offers-putting-greens-and-synthetic-turf.html"/><author><name>Starwood Pools</name></author><published>2007-09-19T17:49:54Z</published><updated>2007-09-19T17:49:54Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p>Starwood Pools&nbsp;is proud to announce their newest division; <em>Signature Putt and Play.</em> With the demand of water conscious environmentally friendly solutions to outdoor landscaping and lifestyles, the synthetic turf grass is the perfect alternative to the extremely thirsty lawns of yesterday.
