Choosing a Swimming Pool

A swimming pool is a recreational water feature that is used for leisure and fun. It can include a variety of design features such as waterfalls, splash pads, wave machines, diving boards, and varying depths of water.

Pool Size and Shape:

The pool size you choose will depend on the size of your backyard and your needs. For example, if you are going to be entertaining a lot, a larger pool is needed to accommodate more people at one time.

Whether or not you plan to have any activities, such as diving or slides, will also influence the pool size. For example, a diving board typically requires a pool that is at least 34 to 36 feet long, which would require an additional length of the pool.

Kiddie Pools:

Often, kiddie pools are made out of hard plastic or inflatable vinyl. They can be inexpensive and easy to set up. They are a great way to entertain children at home.

Safety:

In-ground or above-ground swimming pools should be covered to prevent ice from damaging the pipes and walls. The covers are usually connected to the pool with a stretch cord or bungee cord, but some can be automated with permanently mounted reels that automatically cover and uncover the pool at the push of a button.

Adding disinfectants to the pool’s water is necessary to make it safe for swimmers. But these chemicals aren’t just killing harmful microbes; they also react with organic matter in the water to produce disinfection by-products that can cause illness if inhaled or consumed.
