Are you dreaming of warmer days spent sipping cocktails by your new pool? After months of construction, dust and payments you will get there. But first, there are some considerations to keep in mind.
Water Management
Keeping the water in your pool clear and clean is of utmost importance. Most pool stores offer water testing Pittsburgh to their customers. This is the most effective way to know what’s going on with your pool if it starts to look grimy. Before purchasing expensive chemicals that may or may not work, identify the specific problem through a water test.
You should also consider the pool water dripping off of your guests as they get out of the pool and need to go into your home. It will pay off to construct a patio, outdoor shower and plenty of towel hooks to manage that water as well. Think about kids going in and out of the pool constantly. You will need to manage all the wet suits and towels that come with owning a pool. You will be happy that you did.
Worthwhile Features
It is important to consider extra pool features during the construction phase. You may feel overwhelmed already with the cost and construction of the pool, but adding features after the fact can be complicated and expensive. Upgrade that pool design with some fountains, bubblers or a water wall. You can also extend the day by installing lights in the pool, or even ground lights around the outside of the pool. If you have children, then maybe add a slide or jumping pad.
More People, More Supervision
Prepare to be the most popular house on the block. And if children are involved, that means you need ways to keep them safe. Kids should never be left alone in the pool. But, even if nobody is in the pool, it is prudent to take some safety measures. Pool alarms are a popular feature in family pools. These alarms sound if anything disrupts the surface of the pool. You may want to install some cameras as well.
