Here at SunSplash Pools in Fredericton, we’re not just selling pools; we’re sharing a passion for family, fun, and creating lasting memories. Our co-founders, the husband and wife team Jeff and Jenny Lenehan, are the heart behind this mission. As parents passionate about promoting active and healthy lifestyles for their kids, Jeff and Jenny deeply understand the joy, connection, and energizing fun that a backyard pool brings to a family. That’s why, for their very first SunSplash Pools installation, they chose to build the ultimate fiberglass pool – complete with a saltwater filter and a heat pump – at their own family home. This wasn’t just a business project; It was about bringing the ultimate SunSplash promise of cost-effective family fun, enhanced comfort, and an extended swimming season right into the Lenehan family backyard, specifically with their children in mind.
“With our kids at such a fun age for outdoor activities, we wanted to be able to connect more in our own backyard. We wanted something that was both a smart long term investment and a source of endless fun for our family”
As Jeff and Jenny Lenehan introduce SunSplash Pools with this beautiful installation at their own Fredericton home, they’re also extending a well-established reputation: SunSplash Pools operates as the specialized pool division of JIL Engineering & Construction Ltd., Jeff Lenehan’s respected company that’s been operating in New Brunswick since 2016. Known throughout the New Brunswick construction industry for its top-quality installations and deep expertise, JIL’s commitment to superior workmanship is now the cornerstone of every SunSplash Pools project, starting with this very first one.

Why Fiberglass, Saltwater Filter and a Heat Pump?
The Lenehan’s decision to pair a fibreglass pool with a saltwater system and a heat pump was deliberate, focusing on peak family enjoyment, ease of ownership for busy parents, and sensible long-term value for their Fredericton home:
- The Fiberglass Advantage (Low Maintenance & Durability): The foundation is a durable, low-maintenance fiberglass shell. Its non-porous surface resists algae, meaning fewer chemicals naturally, which pairs perfectly with a saltwater system – a top priority for the Lenehans with young children.
- The Luxury of Saltwater (A Hit with the Lenehan Kids!):
- Gentler on Young Skin and Eyes: Jeff and Jenny prioritized saltwater because it provides a softer, silkier water feel, significantly reducing irritation to their children’s sensitive skin and eyes. No more red eyes or itchy skin after hours of fun!
- Reduced Chemical Odor: The Lenehans appreciate the lack of a strong chlorine smell, creating a more pleasant swimming environment for their son, daughter, and any friends who visit.
- Consistent Sanitization: A salt chlorine generator automatically converts salt into chlorine, ensuring the water is consistently sanitized with less daily effort from Jeff and Jenny.
- The Extended Joy of a Heat Pump (More Swim Time for Active Kids):
- Longer Swim Season: Essential for their Fredericton lifestyle, the Lenehans knew a heat pump would allow their son and daughter to “comfortably swim from spring right into the fall,” maximizing their outdoor playtime and the family’s investment.
- Consistent, Comfortable Temperatures: No more hesitating before jumping in! A heat pump maintains their desired water temperature, making every swim predictable and enjoyable for the whole family, especially important for keeping younger children comfortable for longer periods.
- Energy Efficiency: Heat pumps are a highly efficient way to heat a pool, aligning with the Lenehans’ desire for a smart, cost-effective long-term solution.
- The Smart Investment for Their Family’s Happiness: These premium features directly contribute to more frequent, comfortable, and enjoyable use of the pool by their children, making it a truly cost-effective investment in their family’s happiness and well-being.
