Three Features Your Next Swimming Pool Must Have

A swimming pool can make an ordinary home great and adds an element of fun to what can otherwise be quite a dull exterior. A lot of people think that the planning phase of a pool begins and ends with simply deciding to get one installed, but that is not entirely true. Your pool can come in a variety of different shapes and sizes, with different features that make it more or less suitable to certain audiences. However, there are a few features you absolutely must consider talking to your swimming pool builder about, so that they can include them in the plans for your new pool.

Automated Cover

A pool cover is something that no one ever really thinks about before they actually get their very own pool installed because it is not a fun aspect of owning the pool. However, it is one that will save you a lot of backbreaking work when it comes to fishing out sticks, twigs, leaves, rocks, and whatever other debris might fall into your pool. An automated pool cover is not as expensive as you might think and can be operated with a few simple pushes so that it opens and closes without you having to carefully micromanage the process.

Shallow Ledge

A ledge might not seem like a very exciting addition to your pool but there are several reasons why you simply must have one. For starters, they are great for installing simple tanning chairs in that allow you to stay cool while still working on your tan. They are also great for children to still enjoy the pool safely and can be a good place to relax during strenuous pool activities. They also allow you to enter the pool more easily, without the shock of just diving in, which many people appreciate as they get older. 

Attached Spa

If you attach a spa to your pool, not only do you add a new element that can make a pool even more popular with guests and members of your own family, but you also have the ability to switch from cold to hot water quite quickly. This can have a great impact on your circulation and really get the blood pumping in a healthy way. Spas are also just a lot of fun, and ones attached to pools often are better built and longer lasting, making them more attractive than a separately built spa to most people with pools.
