Signs Your Pool Needs Renovation

Have you been paying attention to the health of your pool’s surface? When was the last time your pool had a makeover? Pool materials, especially surfaces, wear with age. Here are some signs that may indicate it’s time to renovate your pool.

How does your pool feel?

Every pool has a certain feel to it. From the steps to the floor, your pool could be welcoming or hostile. The roughness of the floor surface is a big sign your pool’s finish needs to be resurfaced. If your feet or hands are constantly irritated from being in the pool, it might be time to pick out a new pool finish. You may see some debris accumulate on the bottom of the pool or the water may become cloudy. This is because the surface is wearing down.

Does your pool need a facelift?

As your pool ages, cracks, chips, or hollow spots on the surface may appear. Older pools or pools that have been drained and filled multiple times are more susceptible to flaws in the surface. If you spot these cracks, it may be time to update your pool’s finish and reverse the aging process. You may also want a new look if your pool is older.

What about pool stains?

Stains from minerals in the water are the most common stains on a pool’s finish. These cause discoloration and can be an eyesore. If your pool has stains or other blemishes, you may be able to address them with a surface refresh also known as an acid wash. This is a procedure to help restore the look of your pool. Pinch A Penny also offers stain treatment programs. Learn more about Acid Wash & Stain Treatments.

When is the best time to renovate my pool?

The best time for a pool resurfacing or renovation is during the Winter season. If you take the time to renovate in the Winter, you will be ready to enjoy your pool in the warmer months.
