Are you ready to add an in-ground swimming pool to your home? There are so many benefits to owning a pool, both for your health and your property value. However, before you jump into pool ownership, you need to consider a few factors to make the most of your purchase. Here are three major considerations when planning for your new in-ground pool project.

  1. Type of pool. You have a few options when it comes to the type of pool you will build. While fiberglass pools are budget-friendly, they can be limited in size, shape and require access to the pool area for delivery. Cement or custom pools are more expensive, but have advantages in longevity and building options. The size and placement of your pool will impact the type of pool you may need.
  2. Pool equipment. What type of water system will work best for your needs? You need to think about the different filtration and sanitation options before you order your pool. Talk to your pool service about the different equipment available so you can make an informed decision.
  3. Additional features. It is simpler to have extra features included with your pool installation than to add them later. Consider whether you want interior lighting, a waterfall, spa or fire feature added to your pool area. These can be installed with your pool so that everything is done at the same time.

Building a new swimming pool is an exciting project, but you want to make sure you get the pool you envision. Find a quality pool contractor that has an excellent reputation for superior service to get the pool of your dreams.

Having a pool at your home is a wonderful luxury, especially in the hot summer months. However, pools are a large responsibility and require constant maintenance to keep them clean and safe. There are many aspects to a pool that need constant attention, including the pump, filters and the water balance. To ensure that your pool is well-kept and ready for a dip when you and your family want to relax, your will want to keep certain pool supplies on hand to care for your new pool.

Chemicals For Water Balance

One of the main aspects of maintaining your new pool will be keeping a correct water balance. For this you will need chemicals and a way to check the chemical balance of your pool. Keeping the right PH balance and chlorine levels is necessary to keep the water safe and free of bacteria. You will need a good quality water testing kit as well as the chemicals to maintain the balance. Most people use chlorine, muriatic acid and baking soda as a alkali.

Tools For Pool Cleaning

Another part of pool ownership is cleaning the pool. You will want a leaf skimmer to remove floating debris.  If there is a large amount of falling leaves and debris in your yard, you may want a leaf net or pool cover to keep debris out when not in use. To clean the pool, you will need brushes to scrub the sides and bottoms.

Your pool pump and filters will also need regular cleaning and maintenance. Make sure you discuss with your local pool professional what you need to keep on top of your pool equipment to ensure it is well maintained.
