Imperial Pool Builders in Champaign, Illinois offer renovation and upgrade ideas for your swimming pool
Is it time to renovate your swimming pool? Do you think your pool equipment is at the point where it’s costing you more to operate than it might be to replace it with new? Talk with your swimming pool contractor from Imperial Pool Builders and ask him or her for advice on items that may be in need of repair, replacement or renovation. Ask your swimming pool service and equipment repair professional how to incorporate money-saving and Eco-friendly upgrades into a renovation.
Here are some upgrades to consider:
- A naturally-filtered swimming pool is popular a popular choice. Your pool contractor can construct an adjacent pond that filters and cleans the pool water reducing the need for chemicals. This is an ideal choice for individuals with skin sensitivity to chemicals.
- A pool cover helps prevent water loss through evaporation and also chemical loss from evaporation – this an economic double-whammy. If you install an automatic swimming pool cover it makes it easier to cover the pool when it’s not in use.
- A sand or a DE filter requires periodic back washing and that means you will have to replace between 150 – 300 gallons of water every few weeks. Cartridge filters do not need to be back washed and are cleaned easily and replaced.
- Due to the location of the return jets – a few inches from the pool surface – heated water can take several hours to circulate; this means your heater has to work hard and long to keep the water warm. Have the jets directed toward the bottom of the pool where it will warm up quicker, reducing your energy bills.
- Upgrade or replace your pool liner if it is becoming discolored or has any tears or rips.
- The pool may benefit from an upgrade to more energy efficient pumps and filters as part of a renovation project and you may find they pay for themselves over time.
Incorporate these, and other money-saving technologies into your pool renovation and remodeling project. Small upgrades and updates may help your family’s budget and save on utility costs.
