Scott Payne Custom Pools

Our Trusted Partners


We Don't Partner with Everyone.

Most pool builders will install whatever the supply house has in stock that week. Whatever's cheapest. Whatever's available. The equipment changes from job to job, the finish changes from year to year, and the homeowner has no idea what they're actually getting until something goes wrong.

That's not how we operate.

At Scott Payne Custom Pools, we have built every single pool — from our very first project to our most recent — with the same three partners. Paramount. Hayward. PebbleTec. Not because they're the only options. Because after 25 years in this industry, we know exactly what goes into the ground and what comes back up five years later. And we're not willing to put our name on anything less than the best.

These are not vendor relationships. They are commitments. When you hire Scott Payne Custom Pools, you're not just getting our craftsmanship — you're getting the most trusted names in pool technology, installed by a team that knows them inside and out.

Paramount Pool & Spa Systems
Standard in Every Build
Paramount Pool & Spa Systems

The World's #1 In-Floor Cleaning System

We install the Paramount PVR In-Floor Cleaning and Circulation System in every pool we build — not as an upgrade, but as a standard. It's built into the floor of the pool during construction, using strategically placed pop-up heads that rotate 360 degrees, directing debris toward the main drain and eliminating dead spots in water circulation.

The result: a pool that cleans itself. No pressure washing the floor. No manual vacuuming. No algae hiding in corners that the skimmer can't reach. Paramount also improves chemical distribution by 30%, which means less chemical use and a healthier swimming environment.

We've been installing Paramount since our first pool. We've never found anything better — and we've looked.

Hayward Pool Equipment

The Engine Behind Every Pool We Build

We have installed Hayward equipment in every pool we have ever built. That's not a marketing line — it's a fact. From our first project to our most recent, the equipment pad has always been Hayward. Not because they're the only option, but because 25 years of experience has shown us that nothing else performs at the same level over the long term.

We are authorized installers of the Hayward Expert Line™ — a premium tier of equipment not available in retail stores or online. Expert Line products are engineered for professional installation and carry extended 3-year parts and labor warranties. Every pool we build includes variable-speed pumps, cartridge filtration, salt chlorination, advanced water chemistry, and lifetime monitoring through the Hayward Home App — at no additional charge.

The Hayward Home App alone changes the ownership experience entirely. You can control your pump, heater, lights, and water features from anywhere in the world. And we monitor your equipment for life — if something is off, we often know before you do.

PebbleTec® Pool Finishes

The World's Most Trusted Pool Finish

When it comes to the interior surface of your pool, we accept no substitutes. We are proud to be an authorized installer of genuine PebbleTec® finishes — and this distinction matters more than most homeowners realize. There is only one true PebbleTec, made exclusively by Pebble Technology International using carefully sourced, premium-grade stones, fade-resistant pigments, and proprietary strengthening agents.

Unlike traditional plaster, which typically shows its age within five to seven years through staining and surface degradation, PebbleTec finishes maintain their vibrant water colors and structural integrity for decades. They are non-slip, stain-resistant, and require no chemicals to maintain color vibrancy — a meaningful long-term advantage for any pool owner.

We offer all six PebbleTec product lines — PebbleTec®, PebbleSheen®, PebbleFina®, PebbleBrilliance®, PebbleEssence™, and PebbleBreeze™ — with over 75 color options. Because we are authorized installers, our clients also benefit from PebbleTec's industry-leading warranty program, including a matching workmanship warranty on our installation.

The original aggregate pool finish

A note on our standards: We do not offer inferior alternatives to any of these products. If a homeowner asks about a different in-floor system, a different equipment brand, or a different pool finish, we will have an honest conversation about why we have made the choices we have — and what the real-world differences are. Our job is to build you the best pool possible, and that starts with the materials we put in the ground.

★ The Foundation of Everything

Where It All Began

Before Scott Payne Custom Pools. Before the Swim Happy Promise. Before 25 years and 2,000+ families. There was a man named Tony Bosico — Scott's grandfather and the founder of Tony Bosico Pools in Lansdale, Pennsylvania — who built pools the way a sculptor builds a statue.

Tony Bosico & Scott Payne
Three generations of pool builders
Tony Bosico — Pool Builder, Inventor, Patriarch

Tony Bosico was not just a pool builder — he was an innovator whose designs for pool construction and water filtration drew attention and admiration from engineers and public health officials across the United States and internationally. He was one of the few people ever to receive a Gold Medal for Design Excellence in competition that included major companies from around the world. He won not one, but several gold and silver medals.

He was a giant of a man in every way that mattered — not for his stature, but for his generosity, his sincerity, and his integrity. Wherever he went, Tony commanded respect. He was fast to give, but reluctant to receive. He spent his life building a reputation that will never be forgotten.

Eulogy — Read at Funeral Mass, April 18, 1975
Eulogy to Tony Bosico — read at funeral mass April 18, 1975

That legacy lives in every pool Scott Payne Custom Pools builds today. The same commitment to honesty. The same integrity. The same belief that a pool is not just a structure — it is a place where families make memories that last a lifetime.

When I started this company, I considered a dozen names. None of them felt right. None of them captured what I wanted this company to be. At one point, I even considered bringing back my grandfather’s name — Tony Bosico Pools — but I honestly wasn’t sure if a name from 40 years ago would still carry the weight it once did.

Then it occurred to me: the biggest tribute I could pay to my grandfather wasn’t borrowing his name. It was doing exactly what he did — putting my own name on the sign.

There is nothing more vulnerable than that. Nothing that forces you to stand behind your work more completely. When your name is on the sign, you don’t get to hide behind a brand. Every pool we build, every promise we make, every phone call we take — that’s my name on the line. Just like it was his.

The Story of Tony Bosico Pools — And Why It Lives On

Scott shares the full family story — the gold medals, the patents, the unexpected loss, and what it means to renovate a pool his grandfather built 60 years ago.
