Adding a custom pool to your outdoor area is a great way to enjoy all the benefits pools have to offer. For instance, besides the sheer joy of swimming and the parties you can host, swimming holds many health benefits. So, since swimming is such a healthy recreation, then you absolutely should have one installed.

The beauty of having a custom pool is the fact you can design your pool so it fits your landscaping. For instance, a lily shaped pool would look great in your frog-themed yard. Well, we think you get the idea. A custom pool also means that it is unlikely your neighbors will have the same pool. You like your neighbors, you just don’t want the same type of pool as they do.

Think about this; if you really don’t have any sort of yard or landscape theme going on, then you can create one using your custom swimming pool as the centerpiece. That is, you can build that lily pad shaped swimming pool and then go out and buy frog ornaments to place around the yard. Seriously though, after your pool is built, you can add a custom deck that butts up to the pool or you can add other aesthetically pleasing features as waterfalls and lighting.

During the winter months it is not recommended that you shut down your pool entirely. By no means should you stop adding chemicals to your pool or stop running the water pump. For your benefit, here are a few tips on how to care for your pool during the winter months.

It is important that you maintain chemical levels in your pool during the winter, not doing so will lead to major problems trying to get your water balanced when you are ready to use the pool again. You must not stop the water pump, it is fine to cut down the time the pump runs to say eight hours a day, but it must be kept running. We recommend you continue to skim your pool for leaves and other debris. We also recommend that you have your water tested at regular intervals to ensure there is proper chemical balance. Now, winter is an ideal time to completely drain and sanitize your pool. This is something that should be done every two to three years.

Owning a swimming pool is a choice and a luxury. Keeping the pool clean and maintained is a necessity if you wish to use your pool to the fullest extent. Any pool or spa will certainly become dirty and contaminated by either those who use it or some other outside factors. Regular checkups are critical to keep swimming pools and spas in excellent working condition.

Professional pool technicians ensure all the debris from your pool is removed with each visit. The debris that accumulates in your pool poses a danger if not removed. The technician will also ensure your pool has the correct chemical balance. Improperly balanced pools can harbor disease causing germs and misuse of chemicals may lead to the trigger of allergies. We will also inspect the hardware associated with your pool or spa. That is, we will inspect the pump to make sure it is functioning properly as well as checking for any leaks or cracks. The filters will be cleaned or replaced and we will check on other equipment used in the water filtration system.
