How To Choose The Right Pool For Your Property

You’ve decided to take the plunge (pun intended) and add a backyard pool to your home.  A pool is a sound investment that means summer fun for years to come.  Litehouse Pools & Spas knows that choosing the right type of pool for your property is imperative to maximize space, budget and features. Physical Area And Size Determining the type and size of your new pool depends heavily on the size of your property.  If you have a small backyard, consider an above ground swimming pool to maximize your space. Above ground pools are generally smaller than inground varieties and can leave space for a lounge area or play set on a smaller property. Inground swimming pools vary greatly in size, and while you won’t want your pool to completely consume your yard, choose something large enough for your family to enjoy. Match Your Property You’ll want the design of your pool to…

Building A Great Inground Swimming Pool for Your Kids

Everyone’s gearing up for the summer, and an inground swimming pool is a great way to make your yard the go-to hot spot for your kids and their friends. Naturally, you need a great space, good foundations and a solid build, but there’s plenty more to consider when making a great pool that your kids can enjoy. Get the Height Right You want a pool that your kids can stand in, so we recommend that you build it with them in mind. An extensive shallow end ensures they can put their feet on the bottom and gradually gain the confidence to head toward the deep end. Even better, when they play, if the pool has a deeper end, the adults can join in and not have too much extra reach. Include Nets and Hoops These are a low-cost addition to your pool, but they let your kids enjoy a bit…

Taking Care of Your Inground Pool

Nothing beats the summer heat like a cool, refreshing dip in a swimming pool. While above ground pools are always enjoyable, inground pools offer even more features for your family and guests to enjoy. Typically, larger and easier to enter and exit, they’re also usually much deeper, sometimes even letting you add diving boards and slides and play underwater games. However, along with the benefits, inground pools also require additional maintenance to keep the pool water fresh and the area safe. Tests and Adjustments Inground pools require regular testing for pH and chlorine. Use high-quality pool chemicals, testing devices and pool care kits to check and restore proper levels. Inground Swimming Pools Vs. Above Ground Swimming Pools Keep in mind that since your inground pool contains more water by volume than most above-ground versions, you’ll need to adjust the treatments accordingly. You’ll also need to address the additional patio area bordering the pool for cleaning and safety concerns. Cleaning the Pool Clean your skimmers regularly,…
