Non-Structural Pool Improvements To Consider

If you are fortunate enough to own a swimming pool, there are some basic upgrades that you will be able to make to it that will be able to greatly improve its functionality and aesthetics without requiring major structural work to be done.

Heating Systems

A heating system can be one upgrade that will have an especially large impact on your swimming pool. A heating system will be able to warm the water so that the pool can be used even when the temperature outside would normally be too cool to allow individuals to comfortably swim.

Improved Lighting

Installing lighting improvements can be another change that can benefit your swimming pool. By improving the lighting, you can improve the aesthetics of the swimming pool, and you may also be able to reduce potential safety issues by making the pool more visible. One popular option for upgrading swimming pool lights is to install waterproof LED strips. These strips can be installed along the edge of the pool as well as below the water line. As an added benefit, many modern LEDs can be programmable, which will allow you to change the lighting in the pool.

Fountains

If you are wanting to make your pool a more attractive part of your property, the inclusion of a fountain can be an option that you will want to consider. A fountain will be able to add a rich aesthetic and soothing sound to your swimming pool. While individuals often assume that a fountain will have to be extremely expensive to add, this is not the case as there are options that can be anchored to the bottom of the pool without needing major modifications to it. For those that are wanting to avoid losing some of the space in the pool to the fountain, the installation of a waterfall system on the side of the pool can provide these same benefits while avoiding requiring any space in the water.

Slides

Depending on the depth of your swimming pool, the addition of a slide can be an option that will make your pool far more enjoyable to use. However, these slides will have to be securely anchored in place. Otherwise, there will be a risk of the slide becoming unstable, which could lead to injuries. For this reason, the installation of a slide should only be completed by a professional as they will be able to ensure that the slide is properly held in place while avoiding causing damage or unnecessary modifications to the pool itself.
