The Pool Stain Eraser: Worth Every Cent

Comments Off on The Pool Stain Eraser: Worth Every Cent

Do you have stains on your pool’s surface? Stains can be tough to remove and require the right tools for the job. One option for the DIY pool owner is the stain eraser. These tools are designed to quickly remove stains and improve the look of your pool’s surface. For a small price, you can make your pool look like new again, if you know the right pool stain eraser to buy.

How Pool Stain Erasers Work

Pool stain erasers work like a pencil eraser, scrubbing away stains. They are made from a polymer and have a gentle abrasive built-into the “eraser” head. They look like a small paint brush and can be used by hand with the handle, or attached to a telepole to reach stains at the bottom or sides of the pool. There are no chemicals needed and they will not scratch or gouge your pool’s surface when they remove a stain. They scrub away stains and leave the surface looking polished, with no damage to your pool.

Pool stain erasers are designed to address specific stains. They can remove rust, calcium, algae and other stains from concrete, fiberglass or vinyl pools, but you must buy the right eraser. There are erasers for specific surfaces and stains; it is important to get the eraser designed for the type of pool and stain you have for the best results.

If you maintain your pool yourself, buying stain erasers to add to your pool cleaning supplies is a wise investment. Talk to your local pool supplier about the pool erasers they have available to determine the best options to make your pool stain-free and looking like new again.

Comments Off on How to Choose the Best Pool Surface

If you are adding a new pool or renovating your existing pool, you will need to decide what type of pool surface will be best for your needs. There is a plethora of options to choose from that all offer benefits. When it comes to pool surfaces, there are a few factors that will influence your decision: cost, durability, functionality and aesthetics. Here are some things to consider about these factors to help narrow down the best surface for your pool.

Cost

Your budget will impact which surface you choose, but it should not be the main determining factor. Keep in mind that although some surfaces may have a higher initial investment, they can last years longer than more affordable options.

Durability

You want a pool surface that will last and hold up to the elements. Surfaces that are fade and stain resistant are beneficial and will keep your pool looking great for many years. Consider pebble or quartz surfaces that offer some of the more durable options for pools.

Functionality

Your pool’s surface needs to protect your pool, but it also needs to be functional. You want it to be safe for your family and guests. A non-slip surface can prevent accidents, but you also want it gentle on feet.

Aesthetics

A sparkling surface can transform the look of your pool. Whether you are adding a new pool or remodeling an older one, you want a surface that will add beauty to your backyard and pool space.

There are many pool resurfacing options that encompass all these factors. Talk to your local pool remodeling experts to discuss the best pool surface to meet your needs and add value to your home.

You don’t necessarily need a full pool renovation to upgrade your pool area. If your pool’s surface and decking is still in good shape, but you want to improve the overall style of your pool area, adding features can be the best option. With a few additions, you can make your pool area more enjoyable and beautiful. Here are four features that can spruce up your pool area without the need for a complete renovation.

  1. Underwater Lighting. Pool and outdoor lighting can make a big difference in the look of your backyard, especially at night. Underwater lighting can turn your pool into a centerpiece, along with spotlighting to enhance your landscaping and other features.
  2. Waterfalls and other waterscapes. Adding moving water to your pool area offers a relaxing sound and sparkle. Consider a waterfall, water wall or fountain to add beauty to your pool space.
  3. Spa. Spas can be added to your pool area after the fact, giving a separate spot to relax and enjoy the outdoors. There are many design options available that can complement your pool area while giving you the luxury of a massaging spa in your backyard.
  4. Fire features. Adding fire features around your pool can give your outdoor space a dazzling appearance. Flames reflecting off the water can create an entrancing area for nighttime entertaining. Consider pool edge fire features, fire pits or other options to add a different element to your pool space.

Give your pool an update without breaking the bank. Talk to your local pool remodeling service to discuss features that can give your pool a new look or improved function.
