Owning a swimming pool requires maintenance to keep it safe, functional and aesthetically appealing. One of the areas that needs attention every 5-10 years is the surface material. When the surface becomes worn, it can create safety issues and make your pool look rundown. Here are five signs it is time to resurface your pool.
- Bleached areas. Do you have white spots or areas that have become bleached in the sun? This can make your pool look old – consider resurfacing with a high-quality material that is fade resistant.
- If there are spots that are worn smooth, this can be dangerous. You want a pool surface that gives your traction without being so rough that it hurts your feet.
- Pitted surface. Poor chemical balance can cause etching or a pitted surface on your pool. Keeping up with chemical maintenance can prevent this issue, but once it occurs, resurfacing will be needed to fix the problem.
- The surface of your pool can become stained from algae, mildew and other issues. Copper piping can corrode and create green stains in your pool that will need to be removed with resurfacing.
- Mineral residue. Minerals in your pool water can leave residue on the bottom of your pool; they can also stain your pool surface as they oxidize. Iron and manganese are two of the most common culprits.
If you have any of these signs or just want a new look for your pool, talk to your local pool remodeling contractors about resurfacing your swimming pool. There are many beautiful pool resurfacing options that can last for years to improve the look and safety of your pool.
