There are many optional features that can be added to your pool, either when installing a new pool or as part of a pool remodeling and renovation project. With summer quickly approaching, this is a great time to consider adding some of these options, which can add both beauty and functionality to your pool.
- Security pool cover. Pool maintenance is one of the drawbacks of owning a pool, especially keeping it clean. Investing in a pool cover is a great way to minimize the amount of debris that can get into your pool. A security cover offers even more value, protecting children and pets from accidentally falling into the pool as well. Although security covers are much more expensive than traditional pool covers, the safety they provide can be worth the investment and can reduce homeowners insurance premiums.
- Pool lights. Although there is little need for colorful pool lights, nothing enhances the look of a pool at night better than pool lights. For the money, it’s one of the best aesthetic options you can add to your pool, with a variety of color options available.
- Salt water chlorinators. Many people are sensitive to the effects of chlorine, which makes salt water chlorinators very popular. This equipment uses salt to chlorinate a pool instead of chlorine, eliminating the smell and effects that people associate with a chlorinated pool. They are also low maintenance, making them a great option for many pool owners.
- Fire or water features. Other aesthetic options that are very popular are water or fire features added on to a pool. Many pool owners will opt to add both, giving off delightful colors from the flames and a soothing sound of falling water.
Your local pool service company can answer any questions you have about adding these options to your new or existing pool. Have a safe and fun swim season this summer!
