Pebble Pool Interior Facts

Practically every day there are new innovations and developments in the world of swimming pools. Whether it is a new automated pool control system you can access from your smartphone or a popular new pool design innovation, pool owners are constantly having to decide which new idea is right for their needs. One of the more popular developments in swimming pool design happens to be a relatively new pool interior finishing material known simply as the pebble finish. You may have seen this type of aggregate stone finish installed on a driveway or walkway around your neighborhood, but this stylish design is also available for pool interiors. If you're looking to update an existing pool interior, or if you're installing a brand new pool on your property, you may want to consider some of the following facts about pebble pool interiors before you make your final choice.

Natural Appearance
While any pool makes a great addition to a backyard, some pool designs can look artificial and out of place in a residential backyard. Traditional interiors like patterned pool liners or even white plaster finishes can still look good, but they cannot provide that natural look or feel that seamlessly integrates with your backyard's natural surroundings the way a pebble finish can. Due to its textured design and with numerous coloring options, a pebble finish offers much more in the way of natural-looking designs that blend with your existing landscape.

Maintenance and Durability
While most pool finishes will start to fade or deteriorate after a decade or so, pebble finishes are practically unmatched when it comes to longevity and overall durability. While white plaster can diminish over time in particularly high traffic areas, pebble finishes are highly resistant to deterioration or scratching caused by frequent foot traffic or regular surface cleaning. Speaking of cleaning, virtually all pebble interiors are among the lowest maintenance materials you can install in your pool. Cleaning is easy and isn't required as frequently as it might be with plaster or vinyl pool liners.

Long Lasting
An aggregate pebble finish can easily last longer than most other pool interiors, meaning pool owners are less likely to require pebble patches or repairs during the material's lifespan. A typical pebble finish can last a minimum of 12 years depending on the quality of installation and other factors like cleanliness and chemical levels of the pool water. Pebble finishes offer a comfortably smooth feel while remaining stain resistant throughout their entire lifespan, so pool owners can always expect to get the most out of their pool interior when they choose to go with a pebble installation or remodel.

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? 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.
