5 Signs It’s Time to Renovate Your Pool

Read more about these five signs that your pool might be in need of some restoration:

1.     Fading Patterns and Colours on Your Vinyl Liner

Is the colour on your vinyl pool liner losing its lustre? Does it appear to be shrinking at its edges? Vinyl pool liners are designed to last for between 10 and 15 years, though there are factors that can shorten their lifespan including:

• Excessive exposure to the sun’s UV radiation.
• The sanitary condition of your pool’s water.
• Prolonged exposure to pool chemicals.

If you notice issues – including tearing, staining, wrinkling, or leaking – contact a pool services provider to repair or replace your liner before problems worsen and cause costly long-term damage.

2.     Visible Deteriorations around Your Pool

Finding obvious signs of decay is one of the easiest ways to tell if your pool needs renovations.

Keep an eye out for symptoms of problems including:

• Cracked or blistering surfaces.
• Discoloured, stained spots.
• The appearance of rust.
• Noticeable leaks.

The earlier you catch a problem, the easier it will be to fix. If minor flaws are left to worsen, they can cause significant harm to your pool down the road.

3.     Old, Inefficient Pool Equipment

In recent years, pool equipment has improved significantly – becoming more energy efficient, cost effective, and delivering better performance.

Advancements include:

• Electrical components using less energy.
• Technological innovations mean you can use fewer chemicals by employing salt generators to produce their own chlorine.
• Computer-controlled automated cleaners make maintenance easier.

4.     Safety Concerns and Hazards

Hazards to keep an eye out for can include:

• Faulty electrical design or lighting.
• Flaws on finishes like loose tiles.
• Broken or nonexistent covers on any areas where pool equipment causes suction.

For a complete assessment of your pool’s safety, work with qualified pool service professionals who can thoroughly inspect for hazards around your pool and help you fix them before someone gets hurt.

5.     Out-of-Date Backyard Landscaping

It’s important to remember that your pool doesn’t stand alone. Instead, it’s part of the larger puzzle that is your backyard. If you’re going to spruce up one piece, you might want to look into freshening up the others – including your backyard’s landscaping.

Consider adding dynamic features like:

• Water features.
• Attractive decking.
• Trees, shrubs, flowers, and other plants.
