Pool Service Above Ground Swimming Pools – Right Solution For Any Backyard Above ground swimming pools are a great addition to any backyard. By offering all the swimming fun and excitement of a private pool without the high cost and permanence of an in-ground swimming pool, above ground pools are an attractive option for many families. With most above ground pools, you can start swimming soon after (and with some pools, even on the same day!) as installation. Some are designed to be permanent pools that you winterize for the off-season and re-open in the spring; others can be easily disassembled and stored indoors during the fall and winter months. Best of all, with a wide range of available prices, construction options, shapes and sizes there are above ground swimming pools to match any backyard, any budget.

Above ground pools are typically available in depths from 48” to 54”. Consumers can choose from round, rectangular and oval shapes, in sizes from a simple 12’ round to a large 18’ x 39’ oval, which offer options for yards of every shape and size, as well as the ability to swim laps, play water sports and provide hours of fun & recreation for adults and kids alike. Aboveground pools now come in a variety of styles, too. From traditional above ground pools, to today’s more sleek and modular designs, there’s an aboveground pool to fit the décor of any backyard.

Above ground pools are made from a number of different materials, providing several construction and installation options to choose from. Traditional above ground pools such as Excalibur Pools, feature metal walls of galvanized steel that are exceptionally strong and durable. Some newer above ground pools, such as the Radiant & EZ Panel brands have energy-saving, eco-friendly properties which is making them increasing popular. Their strong metal walls feature a specially designed insulating foam core layer to retain heat and save on running costs & utilities. Their design also makes installation much more simple than traditional above ground pools, and they can be installed aboveground, semi- inground or completely in-ground – for the benefits of a traditional in-ground pool, without the high costs! A third class of above ground pools are perfect for smaller yards, smaller budgets and for families who want the flexibility to take down their pool during the off-season, or when moving. Intex pools for example offer round, rectangular and oval above ground pools in a variety of sizes, including some models made from a Super Tough® heavy-duty three ply liner, with an inflatable top ring that lets you set-up and swim in a single afternoon!

Whether the above ground swimming pool is made of metal or vinyl, assembly is usually very simple and straightforward. With metal frame pools, regardless of the specific construction design, the various pieces are fit and locked together before adding water. Traditional above ground pools such as Excalibur’s Sea Wind, Palm Bay, Glenridge , Regency and Sandstone models can usually be installed by 2-3 people in only a few hours. Newer EZ Panel, Intex and Radiant pools offer more modular construction and an even more simplified installation process. And for an Intex vinyl above ground pool with inflatable top ring, you simply fill the top ring using an electric or manual pump and fill the pool. As mentioned previously, several models of above ground pools including Radiant and EZ Panel offer a variety of installation options for fully customized results at a fraction of the cost of a traditional in ground pool. These pools are designed to be installed fully above ground, half way in ground or completely in ground.

Another great benefit of above ground swimming pools is the fact that there are now as many choices in terms of accessories and equipment as there for in ground pools. For example, consumers will find a wide range of slides, flumes, ladders & steps specifically designed for above ground pools. Most pools can also be easily adapted for decks & fencing, providing even greater flexibility in terms of design and construction. In terms of water sanitizing programs, above ground pool owners can now heat and sanitize their pool water without needing to rely on high levels of harsh chlorine or other chemicals. For instance, mineral-based water sanitizing offers an inexpensive and easy way to purify without the need for traditional chlorine. And new saltwater sanitizing systems are now available specifically for above ground pools. These “salt-chlorine generators” use low levels of natural everyday salt to create natural chlorine, which purifies and softens pool water.

Above ground pool owners also have more options in terms of “going green” and making more eco-friendly pool heating choices that will also reduce the use of non-renewable, expensive energy sources. High-efficiency pool heaters and heat pumps can reduce energy use & running costs, and provide wonderfully warm pool water. And above ground solar heating systems can raise the temperature of pool water by 15 degrees using only the power of your pool pump and FREE heating energy from the sun. We always recommend the use of a solar pool blanket when the pool is not in use to retain heat, reduce evaporation and reduce debris. And even if you pool doesn’t feature specially-designed heat-retaining walls, wall foam (a commonly available pool product) can give every above ground pool heat-retaining properties – simply install it during pool set-up for warmer water and a longer swim season – all with lower running costs!

Consumers should always ask what’s included with the pool when considering an aboveground pool purchase. For example, many aboveground pools include the vinyl pool liner, but some do not. Another critical piece of equipment is the pump & filter system, which circulates & filters the water, as well as aids in purification. Some above ground pool kits such as Intex kits provide a convenient way to get all the components you need to have your pool up and running in no time. Standard above ground pool kits will typically include a pump and filter system, a maintenance kit, a ladder, a solar blanket and sanitizing chemicals. And of course, add-on accessories such as heaters, cleaners, fencing, lighting and games are always a good idea, for maximum safety, flexibility and fun.

How to Clean your Swimming Pool Effectively There are a lot of facilities that we can readily enjoy in our homes at present. The outdoor swimming pool is one of them. You love to play with your kids in the water and to relax on the deck with a refreshing drink in hand. But in order for everyone’s pleasure to be full you have to maintain the pool extremely well. The cleaning should be effective and regular so that the safety of all bathers is guaranteed. The removal of leaves and debris is the most basic for of cleaning. However, it is also an extremely important one. Any decaying plant material can cause fungal growth and infections.

Moreover, the debris may clog the pump and affect its proper worn. They can cause permanent damage as well. That is why you need to remove the debris from your pool using a standard leaf skimmer net. It is also a good idea to clean the deck regularly. You are highly recommended to cover your pool during the leaf falling season. In this way you will protect the tank from debris more effectively without having to clean it every day. There are all sorts of inground pool covers available on the market. You can get a manual or an automatic one or even a hybrid model depending on the level of convenience you want to have and on your budget. If you have a lot of trees and bushes surrounding your swimming pool areas and/or want to protect children and animals from falling into the water at all times, you might want to invest in a fully automatic cover that can be set over the tank with the push of a button.

The cleaning of the pool walls and floors once every week is crucial for the sanitization. It is essential for you to use a strong scrubbing brush or a powerful vacuum to remove all the dirt from the liner. You should star the cleaning from the walls and corners and scrub the floor in the end. You should devote more effort to scrubbing the areas that are hard to reach. These include the corners and the stairs of the pool. In order to keep the water perfectly clean you have to maintain the filter of the pool regularly as well. Make sure that you clean it properly at least once every month. It is also a good idea to use a special water testing kit to check the pH of the water regularly so that you can maintain it within the safe limits.
