Just because it’s cold outside, that’s not to say that now isn’t the perfect time to start planning for a swimming pool install. In fact, now is the ideal time to start doing research.

If you’re wondering if it’s difficult to build a custom swimming pool, we’re here to tell you that it’s not. Granted, this isn’t the type of job you’d want to tackle on your own, but when you work with an experienced, reputable installer you’ll find the job can be completed seamlessly.

Starting from the top

The first thing you’ll need to decide is what you’d like to use your pool for. If you’re someone who wants to swim laps, a kidney-shaped pool probably won’t be your best bet. Will you want to use it for entertaining, or are you wanting a place for the kids to relax and play during the summer? Once you decide the type of pool that will best meet the needs of your family, you’ll want to start the process of hiring a designer / installer.

Patio, shrubbery and water features

Once you’ve determined the size of the pool you want and you’ve chosen the place where you’d like to have it installed, the designer will help you understand the various types of features you can choose from. For some, this will mean installing a deck. For others, it will involve the addition of specialty landscaping.

In other cases, this may involve one or more water features, including waterfalls, a slide and/or a hot tub.

Choosing the right builder

One of the most important things you’ll want to keep in mind when you choose to build a custom swimming pool relates to hiring an experienced, reputable builder. Ask the company how long they’ve been in buisness and how much experience they have with installing the type of pool you’re interested in.

Are they licensed and insured? Have they completed similar projects for other local homeowners? Can they provide you with several references? Lastly, check to see what their online reviews look like. Online reviews are an invaluable resource when it comes to determining the level of service they’ve provided to past clients, along with the levels of customer service and customer care that they’ve been known to provide.

Regardless as to whether you had a swimming pool installed this past summer or you’ve had one in your backyard for several years, you likely understand the importance of keeping it protected during the winter.

The most important thing you can do to ensure that your pool will last many years into the future involves having it winterized.

There are several steps you’ll want to take to ensure the job is done right.

Make sure the water is balanced

The chemistry of your pool water is just as important in the winter as it is during the summer, and as such, you’ll want to ensure that the PH levels remain in the proper range. You might also want to speak with a swimming pool professional about the benefits of adding a shock treatment to the water before you close your pool for the season.

Lower the water levels

Experts agree that swimming pool water should be lowered below the skimmer. If you have questions about why this is important, or you’d like assistance, call Wetworks Pool and Spa today.

Clear water from the lines

A third important component of winterizing your pool will involve clearing the pool equipment and pool pipes of water. This is most easily accomplished by using a compressor or blower. Don’t forget to plug the pipes that lead into the pool.  For more information as to why skipping this step could cause significant damage to your pool, call our office today and we’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Consider adding swimming pool antifreeze to your pipes and water lines

This step is self-explanatory. If you don’t know where to purchase swimming pool antifreeze, we can help.

Don’t forget the safety cover

Lastly, you’ll want to make sure your pool is covered. Remember, sitting ice and snow can add hundreds of pounds of pressure, so it may be wise to invest in a pool cover pump.

Call an expert

If you’re concerned that you may not properly protect your swimming pool during the winter on your own, we can help. Winterizing a pool is one of the most important things you can do to ensure your outdoor oasis will still be an outdoor oasis next summer—if it’s not done correctly you could find yourself dealing with costly and expensive repairs.
