Having your own pool on your property is a wonderful luxury.
Having full access to it anytime you want without having to worry about
screaming strangers and lifeguards can be liberating, if you don’t mind being
responsible for your own maintenance. There’s little doubt that any owner of a
private in-ground pool is fully aware of all the elements that go into a pool,
but those who may not own one but one day will may not fully be aware of what
exactly makes a pool a pool. This article can be used as a brief overview of some
important elements and the overall makeup of the plastering process used on
every pool installed.
Plastering
Plastering is at the
tail end of pool installation. It is that final layer installed on the
in-ground pool that smooths out the surface for users to touch without injury.
This can also be installed using different material, such as vinyl and
fiberglass. Fiberglass especially is much stronger than the typical plaster and
is much more resistant to the typical wear and tear of the conventional
plaster, such as mold, etc. Vinyl
has the benefit of being much easier and quicker to install and is cheaper to
install overall. It’s important to take any factors of your pool to heart
before deciding on which liner to use, taking into consider the costs and
general upkeep requirements.
Tiles
The
tile used in your pool may seem like a trivial element but when looked at
visually the importance comes more into view. Using tile on a pool gives the
owner an incredible diversity
of options and looks to have your pool stand out in the neighborhood. Not
only are colors an option but creating a design or pattern unique to your own
personality will give you an edge and give your entire pool area its own
personality that guests can recognize and enjoy. Aside from being a visual
blank slate on which to craft your design, tiles can also be incredibly
long-lasting if kept in good condition. Being an outdoor element, tile is
designed and manufactured to withstand the harsh outside conditions and can
last for years when handled correctly. Your pool can be the highlight of your
property for years if you understand the maintenance and upkeep required.
Chemicals
The
pool makeup itself is important but equally crucial is the water inside of it.
The water is where your friends and family will spend the time, so you need to
be aware of how to balance it chemically to keep those people safe. The Pool
Products website recommends the following chemicals:
·
Stain & Scale
Preventer
·
Granular Shock
