Remodeling your swimming pool can be a great way to improve its appearance, functionality, and energy efficiency. However, know when you should remodel your pool. A number of signs can indicate that your pool is in need of a remodel.
It Is Losing Water
If your pool is losing water, this is a sign that there is a possible leak. Leaks can be caused by a number of factors, such as cracks in the pool liner, damage to the pool equipment, or problems with the pool’s plumbing. If you have a leak, repair it as soon as possible to prevent further damage to your pool.
It Is Difficult to Maintain
This could be due to a number of factors, such as outdated equipment, poor drainage, or a pool layout that is not conducive to easy maintenance. A remodel can make your pool easier to care for, saving you time and money.
It Has a Discolored Pool Liner
The pool liner is a major component of the pool, and it is responsible for keeping the water in and preventing it from leaking out. Over time, the pool liner can become discolored and damaged.
This can be caused by a number of factors, such as exposure to sunlight and chemicals, algae growth, and wear and tear. If your pool liner is discolored or damaged, have it replaced to prevent leaks and other problems.
It Has Out-of-Date Safety Features
Swimming pool safety features have evolved over time, and older pools may not have the latest safety features in place. This could include things like a lack of a fence around the pool, outdated pool gates, or a pool layout that does not create a clear separation between the shallow and deep ends of the pool. A remodel can update the safety features of your pool, making it safer for your family and guests to enjoy.
I Has Noticeable Cracks
Cracks in the pool shell can allow water to leak out, and they can also weaken the pool structure. If you notice any cracks in your pool shell, have them repaired immediately. A remodel can repair cracks in the pool shell and prevent them from getting worse.
It Is Not Eco-Friendly
Swimming pools can consume a lot of energy and increase your carbon footprint. If you are concerned about the environmental impact of your swimming pool, a number of eco-friendly remodeling options are available. This could include things like installing solar panels to heat your pool, using recycled materials in the remodel, or planting trees and shrubs around the pool to help shade it and reduce water evaporation.
A remodel can make your pool more eco-friendly, reducing your environmental impact and saving you money on your energy bills.
It Has Smelly Water
Smelly pool water is a sign that there is a problem with the pool’s water chemistry. This could be caused by a number of factors, such as a high chlorine level, a low pH level, or algae growth. A remodel can address the underlying problem causing the smelly water, making your pool more enjoyable to swim in.
It Needs To Meet the Needs of Your Family
Your pool may not be well-suited to the needs of your family. For example, if you have young children, you may want to remodel your pool to add features such as a shallow end or a waterslide.
It Is Not Accessible
Your pool may not be accessible to swimmers with disabilities. A remodel can add features such as a ramp or lift to make your pool more accessible to swimmers with disabilities.
A remodel can make your pool more functional and user-friendly by adding features such as a built-in spa, water features, or a deck or patio. Contact McTarga Pools if you are planning a remodel.
