Swimming pool accessories for your new pool

Advanced Pools, Inc. pool contractors talk “must have” pool accessories

What are some swimming pool accessories for your new pool that you should consider? There are many types from which to choose and you will want to give it some thought, talk with your pool contractor from Advanced Pools, Inc. and decide what you want in your pool. Talk with your family and see — do they really want a diving board? Would they prefer sun shelves? How about a rock waterfall or a fountain feature?

Swimming pools, in general, are fun, but they are made even more fun by the accessories you add to the pool, to the deck area and to the outdoor living space itself. These five accessories are just a few of the many options you have. You can add items to your pool construction project, as part of a pool remodel or as part of a stand alone project to add in a specific item. Not all pool accessories have to be for fun, though; there are some that just make sense as safety or money-saving measures.

Swimming pool accessories for your new pool

1. Pool floats and toys. A raft is a great way to simply float around the pool and enjoy yourself. Today’s pool floats aren’t the flimsy items from our childhood, today’s floats have backrests, storage areas, arm rests and much more! Don’t forget to get an inflatable pump to blow up your comfy rafts and floats.
2. A solar cover as this will help trap the heat from the summer sun and heat your pool water in an effective, efficient manner. This can increase your pool water temperatures by up to 15 degrees — all at no cost.
3. Lighting. Outdoor and in-pool lighting make it possible to swim even when the sun goes down. Outdoor lighting adds ambiance to your outdoor living space and deck area. Talk with your pool contractor about the installation of in-pool lighting. Have LED lighting installed. LED lighting is low energy usage and are long lasting.
4. Pool cleaning. Do you want to spend your time cleaning your swimming pool? Invest in an automatic vacuum for the pool. With this device you plug in the robotic cleaner, put it into the water and let it do its job while you are off enjoying your day.
