Testimonial
When MSI Spa Design arrived at our newly purchased campground, the commercial swimming pool had not been in operation for many, many years and had fallen into great disrepair. Previous contractors took one look at the site and declared it unsalvageable, a major investment would be needed.
MSI Spa Design on the other hand, realized the original pool builders method of construction and determined that integrity of pool structure was sound. Once we established that the plumbing was still usable, the old swimming pool was saved and given a second chance. MSI Spa Design saved us a major amount of money which allowed us improve other parts of the property.
