Whether you are in the market to install a pool, or have been a pool owner for years, it is easy to get behind on pool maintenance. Getting caught up on the essentials can ensure optimal pool enjoyment.
If you hate messing with your pool cleaner, the Aquabot provides an easy solution. Your pool gets cleaned with the touch of a button. There is no hose to get tangled in while you swim and can even be synched with an auto control system, so you wouldn't have to worry about turning it on or off. The Aquabot not only filters your water but vacuums your pool's floor, picking up small debris, algae, bacteria, dirt, and other pool contaminants.
Maintenance chemicals are essential to keeping your pool healthy. Shock treatments, algaecides, water balance chemicals, and even specialty chemicals like shimmer: it's easy to forget to keep them in stock. Luckily, some swimming pool supplies come in packages according to season and usually include some sort of pool care guide for easy instructions.
If you have little ones running around, worry could put a strain on pool-time fun. Safety covers provide an easy way to keep children or pets from falling in and installing a pool alarm could alert you to pets or children entering the pool in case your cover isn't in place. Also, law requires that drains have anti-entrapment devices installed, so make sure your pool is up to code.
Solid winter covers protect pools from wintertime weather so that you don't have to fish debris out of the pool every day. Leaf nets are typically placed over winter covers so that you can remove leaves without removing the heavier winter cover. Mesh covers allow water into the pool and can be used in place of a solid cover. Custom covers can even be made to fit your pool's specific needs.
Pool testing is not just for the professionals! There are many easy-to-use pool testers available for residential use. Check chlorine and pH levels to ensure your pool is balanced properly.
Solar blankets help retain heat so that swimming is enjoyable at night or on cloudy days. Pools typically end up about 15 degrees warmer.
Installing pool lights can mean safe, fun nighttime swimming. Some lights have easy, do-it-yourself installation without requiring any drilling or draining. Odds are, you already own a filter of some sort, but some of the newer models are more energy efficient than the filters available a few years ago. If you are interested in being more environmentally-friendly, it could be worth looking into an upgrade.
If you want to enjoy your swimming pool any time of the year, many new pool heaters also come in energy-efficient models that require less time and money than you think.
Finally, stocking swimming pool supplies isn't all work and no play! Don't forget the toys. Noodles, inflatable tubes and rafts, flex sticks, volleyball nets- toys help turn the pool into endless enjoyment.
