Spring has sprung, and in Florida, that means summer is on the horizon. Whether revamping an existing pool or starting anew, prepare for sunny days by your backyard pool now with these key considerations.
If your current pool needs some attention, Robert Sicignano from Elite Pool Designs highlights the benefits of renovating. According to Sicignano, “Repairing or replacing old pumps, filters and pipes can help keep the pool cleaner and running more efficiently.”
To save energy, explore options like automatic control systems, chlorine generators, heat pumps and variable speed pumps.
For a fresh look, update with new waterline tiles, natural stone decking, or mosaic designs. Consider aggregate interior finishes for a stylish update. LED lighting and laminars can enhance the overall ambiance of your pool area.
Additionally, prioritize safety by incorporating new fencing, rails and ladders that comply with modern standards.
When installing a new pool, start by consulting your local building department for zoning regulations and permits. Establish a realistic budget, factoring in type, size and features and consider long-term financial aspects, including maintenance, chemicals, electricity and water consumption. Furthermore, personalize your pool’s design to match your taste and enhance the overall area with landscaping, lighting and other customizations.
Mike Loomis of Landscape Fusion emphasizes the evolving role of pools in outdoor living. He notes, “Pools have become more than just a body of water in our backyards—they have the potential to be a living entertainment entity, with LED lighting, water and fire features, all controlled with smart technology right from your phone.
Spools, and combo mini pools/spas, are also popular for compact Tampa Bay backyards, offering a full pool experience in a smaller space.
“Spools are perfect for homeowners with city-sized backyards looking for the ultimate outdoor living experience,” Loomis adds.
