Pool Finishes. A Huge Variety To Choose From When Renovating Your Pool.



POOL FINISHES
A Huge Variety To Choose From When Renovating Your Pool.

The interior finish of a pool can elevate your whole design to a new level of style, grace, and beauty.

There are several types of swimming pool finishes to choose from, including plaster, tile, pebble, and other aggregate finishes, and each type comes in a variety of materials, colors, and textures.  You can choose from classic white plaster, to sparkling iridescent glass tiles, to a wide selection of pebbles or class beads.

Is one better than the other?  Yes….and….No

Yes, in that white plaster is the weakest product with the shortest warranty.  However, if this is the look and feel that you prefer, then this is the one for you.

Aggregate finishes are the strongest product and are becoming more popular because they provide a longer warranty and come in a variety of beautiful colors.   They are also harder and more resistant to chemicals, staining, and algae.

Glass Bead finishes catch the sparkle of the sun and give the pool surface a three dimensional effect.

Tiles are used for the pool waterline, but can also be a finish for the entire pool.  Tile finishes are the longest lasting, but also the most expensive type of pool finish.  It takes longer to install than plaster and aggregate finishes, so the cost of both materials and labor is much more.

In the end, you choose between cost, endurance, and beauty.  There are endless combinations and choices.  Whatever your style, you can be sure of the added beauty and glamour of your pool.

Pool and Spa Main Drain Repairs

While it is often referred to as a main drain, the main drain in your pool or spa doesn't actually let you empty your pool or spa. Instead, this 'drain' allows for water to be pumped out of the pool and through the plumbing system. Water that exits through the main drain is often sent through a filtration system that is controlled by your pool or spa pump and returned via your pool or spa jets or inlets. If something should go wrong with your pool or spa main drain such as a clog or cracked pipe, this can lead to some major inefficiencies with the rest of your pool's equipment. Since the main drain is usually located at the lowest point of a pool or spa, it may not often get as much notice when something goes wrong. To help you determine when it's time to call for pool and spa main drain repairs, take a look at some examples of common issues listed below. Increased Suction Sometimes a main drain will remove water at an accelerated rate because another one

Tree Root Problems With My Pool, What Do I Need To Do?

Tree Root Problems With My Pool, What Do I Need To Do? This truly is a very extreme picture of damage tree roots can do to your pool, your deck, and your plumbing! Most of the time, the damage is much more subtle.   You might have a higher water bill (roots cause leaks).   You might notice that your salt cell can’t keep up with the chemistry (leaks caused by roots have the effect of taking the chemicals with the water running out)   We have had tree roots undermine and break up concrete pool decks, we’ve also seen roots come right through the pool walls, skimmers, tile, coping, and actually grow down the plumbing lines. I swear that some tree roots can "smell" the water in the pool, and make a beeline for it, stretching it's branches out until it pokes a hole, and busts up the floor or walls of your pool.   Usually you will notice something is “strange” long before it becomes this severe.   The first warning you may have is that your pool starts lea

Like a fresh cut lawn or a newly painted house, a pristine swimming pool is an eye-catching feature that will improve the overall appearance of any yard. Over time however, certain parts of your pool's appearance may start to decline. Waterline tiles are often prone to some type of deterioration over time.
