Why do some people choose to have a swimming pool on their property? Some of the reason could be for:
Health and Fitness
Swimming for about 30 minutes every day can benefit the heart, lungs, and blood circulation. It is a good cardiovascular workout that improves the joints, muscles, and heartbeat. Exercising in water reduces the weight and pressure on joints, making it great for people of all ages, especially those recovering from an injury or dealing with joint pain. Having your own swimming pool means you enjoy your exercise however and whenever you want to, you are not restricted by the rules and operating time of a public pool.
Family Time
A swimming pool is a fantastic opportunity to spend some quality time as a family; teaching the children to swim, playing games, all without leaving home! The earlier children become comfortable with swimming, the earlier they will understand the importance of water safety around both pools and natural bodies of water. Swimming pool promotes family bonding times.
Socialising
Swimming pool provide a great excuse to socialize with family and friends. Whether you have children or not, nothing beats inviting friends or relatives over, relaxing in or around the pool with a refreshing drink in hand and the smell of a BBQ cooking away!
Saying all these, having a swimming pool can be great, but problems can arise when you don’t take proper care of it. It is unavoidable to encounter random problems as time passes. Proper maintenance is one way to ensure less problems will develop in future. Some of the most common problems owners may face over their swimming pool are:
Green or Cloudy water, Algae growth
Dirty and clogged filter
pH level of water
Worn O ring on pump and filter
Worn or leaking liner
Circulation pump malfunction or Plumbing leak
Cracks in your pool can be structural or foundational. A crack in your foundation can lead to a whole slew of issues. First, identify the source of the crack. It may not always mean that your pool is/will be leaking. But improper installation or a moving foundation can lead to these cracks. In this situation, it’s usually best to seek professional advice.
Calcium built-up. You could have one of two things going on here: calcium carbonate or calcium silicate. Carbonate causes white flaky scales to appear in your pool. Silicate causes white-grey scales to appear. Silicate is worse. This could mean you have a leak in the foundation of your pool, with build-up present in other areas. It takes longer to form, meaning its existence has been more long-term.
Water leakage is a frustrating problem for every swimming pool owner. It not only ruin your pool but can also cause a significant increase to your water bill. A common way to detect a leak is by doing the “bucket test”. Click on this link for a tutorial video
