Renovating your swimming pool isn’t just about upgrading the tile or changing the surface finish—it’s a great opportunity to tackle underlying issues and improve your pool’s overall function and efficiency. During the remodel, consider updating the plumbing and electrical systems, especially if your pool is older. If you’re dealing with poor drainage, it might be time to remove and replace the existing decking for better water flow and safety. It’s also smart to upgrade your pool equipment to more energy-efficient models, which can save you money and reduce your environmental footprint. To maintain your pool’s condition after renovation, install an automatic cleaner to keep the floor clear of debris and prevent stains from forming. It’s also important to keep your water chemistry balanced, particularly your pH levels. A high pH can cause calcium buildup or etching on the plaster, which ruins the fresh look of your pool. Ongoing maintenance is the key to protecting your investment. Be sure to check your pool equipment at least once a month to ensure everything is running smoothly. Look out for any leaks or performance issues, and address problems early before they turn into costly repairs.
