3 Reasons Your Pool Level is Dropping

Comments Off on 3 Reasons Your Pool Level is Dropping

Have you noticed you need to add water to your pool more often? If you do your own pool maintenance, part of caring for your pool is keeping the water level full. When the water level drops, there are only a few reasons this can happen. Here are three reasons that your pool is losing water.

  1. Excess heat. If the temperatures are nearing the three-digit mark and beyond, you will notice more water loss in your pool. Simple evaporation is the reason and should be expected when the hottest days of summer arrive.
  2. Daily use. When your pool becomes the most popular place for friends and family to hang out, you can expect the water levels to lower. Heavy swim use will diminish the water as swimmers get in and out of the pool.
  3. Leaks. If the level of your pool is going down quicker than can be explained from heat or daily use, you may have a leak. It can be difficult to find a pool leak on your own. It can be in your plumbing, in the shell, around drains or in many other locations throughout your pool system. Hire a pool service that offers professional leak detection and repair to quickly find the source of the leak and get it fixed before it causes damage to your property.

You should always keep a close eye on the water level of your pool. If you notice it is dropping quickly, consider calling a pool service right away for an inspection. Your local pool professional can determine where the problem lies and offer you a solution to protect your pool and property.

How to Choose the Best Pool Design

Comments Off on How to Choose the Best Pool Design

If you are building a new pool to enhance your outdoor living space, there are many considerations. Choosing the basic type of pool, size, shape and many other factors come into play. Creating the best pool design for your home will require you to consider all these factors, along with style and budget. Here are some things to keep in mind while designing your pool.

Type of Pool

Are you still stuck on the basic decision of whether to use fiberglass shell or to have a cement lined pool? Fiberglass can be less expensive, but you will be limited to the sizes and shapes available. Cement is better for those that want a customized design or a larger pool.

Shape

You want a pool shape that works with your style and needs. Rectangle pools are perfect for contemporary styles. Kidney or round-edged pools can have a more natural effect and work with your landscape.

Style

Your pool will be the centerpiece of your outdoor space. You want a beautiful style that will enhance the value of your home. Some features that can help stylize your new pool include:

  • Water features like a water wall or waterfall
  • Fire features
  • Underwater lighting
  • Tanning shelves
  • Natural stone pool deck

There are so many options available to customize the design of your pool. From the surface material and pool deck to the many extra features you can add, you can make your pool unique and tailored to your style. Talk to your local pool designer to find out more about what is available to create the perfect pool design for your home.

Does Your Pool Need Resurfacing?

Comments Off on Does Your Pool Need Resurfacing?

When you look out at your pool, does it look worn and faded? The surface of your pool may need to be replaced. Most pool surfaces need to be replaced every few years, with some quality surfaces lasting a decade or more. Here are some signs you need to resurface your pool and the benefits you can gain from this pool improvement.

Faded Areas

Many older pool surfaces can fade over the years in the direct sun. If you notice your pool surface no longer has the luster that it did when it was first added, it may be time to replace it. Many new surface materials are fade-resistant and can last much longer than those used in the past.

Slippery Spots

Are there areas on your pool surface that have been worn smooth? These can cause slips and falls, a dangerous combination with wet surfaces. If your pool surface no longer has any traction, consider a new surface for your pool. There are non-slip surfaces that are also gentle on your feet, keeping your family and guests safe while not causing abrasions on their feet, knees or other body parts.

Outdated Style

Is your old pool surface out of style? Change the color or type of surface with a resurfacing. It can give your pool a makeover and add value to your home. Choose from a Wet Edge design or many other options to improve the beauty of your pool while enhancing function.

If it has been several years since your last resurfacing or you just want a new look for your pool, call your local pool renovation expert to learn more about the options available.

Why Pool Maintenance Is Critical

Comments Off on Why Pool Maintenance Is Critical

Owning a swimming pool can offer so much enjoyment and benefits for your family. Nothing beats cooling off in the pool on a hot summer day and swimming is excellent exercise to keep your family fit. However, owning a pool also comes with responsibilities – maintenance is necessary if you want your pool to be safe and secure. Here are some of the main reasons why pool maintenance is critical.

Clean Water

Keeping your pool’s PH balance at a safe level and the water clean is important for health reasons. Not only does a dirty pool look disgusting, dangerous bacteria can be swimming in the water that can make your family sick or worse. Using the right chemicals on a regular basis to maintain a safe pool needs to be a top priority for pool owners.

Prevent Expensive Repairs

Pool maintenance can help catch small issues with your pool equipment before they become expensive repair problems. Regular inspection of your pool pump, filters and other equipment can identify parts that need replacement. If you hire a professional pool service, they can inspect all components to ensure that your pool is in good condition every time they clean and service your pool.

Promote Swimming Safety

Maintenance is key in keeping your swimming area safe for your family and guests. Regular inspections and repairs on your pool deck, ladders, pool fencing and cover can ensure your pool remains safe.

While you can perform some pool maintenance yourself, consider the benefits of hiring a professional pool service for routine inspections and service. Trained technicians can spot issues that you may not notice that need services to help to keep your pool safe and protect your investment.
