If you’re thinking about adding a pool to your home in 2019 you may have questions about how long the process will take. For this blog, we wanted to address just that.

It starts with design

The first step when it comes to installing a swimming pool involves working with a designer. When you contact Wetworks Pool and Spa we’ll schedule a time for one of our designers to come to your home. During that time we’ll ask several questions, including what you’d like to use your pool for (recreation, swimming laps, etc), the size you have in mind and whether you’d like install additional features such as a slide, spa or waterfall. If you can dream it we can help you achieve it!

Once the design consult is complete it will take between 1 and 4 weeks to complete the design and collaboration stage.

Permits!

When we have our design, we’ll start on the permitting, which can run between 2 and 6 weeks depending on the municipality where you live. Some municipalities approve permits much faster than others.

Excavation, steel, plumbing and electrical

Once the permits are obtained the next steps can begin. Excavation can take about a week and from there, the electrical and plumbing will need o be laid out. The latter processes can take up to two weeks depending on the complexity of the design.

Gunite, plaster, vinyl and fiberglass

This step can take between 1 and 3 weeks. During this time, the construction will start to look a lot more like a pool. You’ll want to remember that vinyl and fiberglass pool installation will be faster because these types of pools are factory made.

Decking, landscaping and other fun features

When all of this is done, the final stages can begin. If you want to add special landscaping or features (ie: a water slide) now is the time to do it. If you’re wanting to install custom lighting, this will be the time where that would be installed. This part can take between 1 and 2 weeks depending on what you’re looking to have done.

Total time? 8 to 12 weeks

All in all, the average time to install a pool between 8 and 12 weeks. Yes, it can seem like a long time but with the proper planning, construction will be able to start as soon as the ground is no longer frozen.

If you’re interested in adding a pool to your home in 2019, call Wetworks Pool and Spa today to schedule a free, no-hassle design appointment. This will allow you to get a head start on your pool planning and construction and it will also help you beat the spring rush!

If you’re currently weighing the pros and cons of installing a pool at your Denver, CO home, you’ve come to the right place. Our company has more than 20 years of experience in helping local homeowners with all of their swimming pool design, installation and maintenance needs.

For this blog, we wanted to address some of the things you’ll want to consider before you commit to having the work done.

What’s your budget?

You’ll want to ask yourself what your needs are, and how much money you want to allocate toward the pool. If you’re looking for something simple without any frills, you’ll want to relay that to the contractor. On the other hand, if you want a waterfall and a water slide, you’ll want to have the swimming pool design team help you understand what your options are. If you start this process off with a budget number in mind, that will help you determine what features you can afford, and which ones you’ll want to pass on.

Above ground or in-ground?

If you’re leaning toward an above ground pool, you should be able to install that on your own. If you’re leaning toward an in-ground pool, this is most certainly not something you should attempt to do on your own. When you call Wetworks Pool and Spa we’ll be happy to schedule a time for one of our design consultants to come to your home. We can help you understand the differences between concrete and fiberglass pool options and we’ll take as much time as needed to answer any and all questions you might have. It’s our goal to help you choose the best pool for you and your family.

Pick your shape

Are you wanting a pool you can swim laps in? If so, a kidney-shaped pool probably isn’t for you. At Wetworks Pool and Spa we have experience in designing and installing pools of all shapes and sizes. If you can imagine it, we can help you build it.

Chlorine or saltwater?

Lastly, you’ll want to choose which type of pool you want. There are a number of pros and cons associated with chlorine pools, and there are also a number of pros and cons that are associated with the installation of a saltwater pool. We’ll be more than happy to help explain everything, so you can make the best possible choice for you and your family.

Yes, 2019 may still be several months away, but it’s never too soon to start planning for your new pool. Although some people choose to put this off until the spring, we find that clients who start the planning early can also have their pools installed before the warm weather hits.

Yes, we understand that Labor Day just passed and it’s not even Halloween yet, but if you’re tossing around the idea of installing a pool in 2019, it’s never too early to start planning.

One of the key benefits of starting early is that you’ll get all the design and planning out of the way before the spring thaw- which means construction will be able to start as soon as the weather permits.

There are a number of benefits associated with installing a pool in Littleton. Below are just a few of the reasons you may benefit from the decision.

Say good bye to bathroom lines at public pools

When you have your own pool, you won’t need to worry about loading up the family and driving from point A to point B to enjoy a swim. You won’t need to worry about buying a bottle of over-priced sunscreen from the vending booth if you’ve forgotten yours at home.

You also won’t need to drive around to find parking and you can say good bye to lines at the restroom. Having your own pool comes with many conveniences.

Speaking of convenient…

When you own a pool, you’ll have the added benefit of being able to walk outside and jump into the water whenever you want. If you’ve had a long day at the office, or you’ve been hiking all afternoon and you’d like wind down by taking a quick swim, you can do that! If it’s especially hot at night and you’d like to take a quick dip before bed, your pool will be mere steps away.

It’s a great way to spend time with your family

Between work schedules, kids’ sports and after school activities, field trips and all of your other responsibilities, it can be hard to schedule quality time with your spouse and kids. Yet when you have a pool, you may find that your children will want to spend more time at home. The memories that you’ll make on those days will last a lifetime.

Swimming is a great low-impact exercise

Swimming is a great workout. Not only can it tone your arms and legs, it’s low-impact, which means you won’t need to worry about aching ankles or knees. If you’re wanting to get more cardio in, but the idea of driving to the gym to do it isn’t all that attractive, a pool may be a great solution.

Your home’s value will increase

A final benefit of installing a pool at your Littleton, CO home is that it will increase the resale value of your home. (Industry experts say that a well-kept pool can add 5 to 10 percent to a home’s sale price). It’s also worth mentioning that homes that have in-ground pools tend to sell faster than those that don’t.

Everyone who has ever owned a swimming pool has likely had to deal with an algae problem. No matter how much you vacuum, scrub and sanitize your pool, there are times when even the most diligent pool owners will walk outside only to find their pool water looks greener than their grass.

Since it’s impossible to keep all algae spoors out of your pool, you’ll want to take some steps that will prevent them from blooming.

Check your filtration

The most important step in preventing an algae bloom involves checking the filtration system. If your water isn’t circulating properly, this could lead to some problems. Remember, if your pump strainer baskets are dirty, and if you fail to skim the surface of your pool on a regular basis, you’ll be far more likely to have an algae problem than if you were to be diligent about taking preventative measures.

When your strainers are full of things like leaves, twigs and dirt, your water (and the sanitizing chemicals you use to keep it clean) won’t be able to flow freely.

Make sure your pool chemicals are maintained in their proper range

Algae spores are generally killed by chlorine and other types of pool water sanitizers. When sanitizer levels get low, the spores tend to jump on the opportunity to run amuck.

People with chlorine pools will want to keep the levels somewhere between 2.0 and 4.0 parts per million. Some of our clients find that a floating chlorinator can help keep the chlorine levels in their pool more constant.

Shock treatment

Some pool owners prefer to shock their pool on a regular basis. When you shock your pool, you’re super chlorinating the water by adding three to five times the typical amount of chlorine to the water. This temporarily raises the chlorine levels in the water by a substantial amount, for a short period of time.

If you have questions about how often you should shock your pool, Call Wetworks Pool and Spa today at 720-401-0004 to speak with a customer service agent in your area.

Have a regular brushing routine

Pool walls, steps and floors are among the most common places that algae will collect. If you don’t scrub your pool on a regular basis, you run the risk of having some of that algae burrow its way into the cracks, which can make it very difficult to remove.

Remember- an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!

If you have questions about which type of brush will work best with your pool, call us today to learn more.

If you’ve decided to install a new pool in Littleton, Colorado, you probably have a lot of questions about the installation timeline.

Unfortunately, there isn’t one simple answer to this question, because it will depend on a number of factors. These factors include but are not limited to the size and scope of the project, the design of the pool, whether you have problems with the permitting and of course, whether the weather decides to cooperate.

The design process

The first step in installing a new pool in Littleton, Colorado involves coming up with the design. When you contact Wetworks Pool and Spa we’ll schedule a time for one of our professional pool designers to visit your property. During that meeting, you’ll be able to outline the exact vision you have for your pool. Once the design meeting is concluded, the designer will generally be able to present a design to you within two weeks.

Construction permits

Once you’ve approved the design for your new pool in Littleton, Colorado, the next step will involve pulling the necessary permits. Although some municipalities approve permits fairly quickly, others may require you obtain several different approvals. If all of this sounds confusing (and like a headache), don’t worry. When you work with Westworks Pool and Spa, we’ll handle the permitting for you. In most cases, the permitting can be approved in a couple of weeks.

Getting the party started

Ok, so you have the design and you have the permits. Now what? Well, this is where the fun starts. The next step in the process involves “the big dig,” which is essentially the excavation. If you decide to build your pool during the spring or summer months, it may take several weeks before you can get the construction scheduled.
