Custom Pools: Pools with additional features or intricate designs may take up to 12 weeks or more to complete.
How to keep your pool maintained
Proper maintenance ensures your pool remains clean, safe, and functional:
- Regular Cleaning: Skim debris daily, vacuum weekly, and scrub pool surfaces to prevent algae buildup.
- Monitor Water Quality: Test pH and chlorine levels regularly to maintain a healthy balance. Add chemicals as needed.
- Check Filtration Systems: Clean or replace filters as recommended by the manufacturer to keep water circulating properly.
- Winterize Your Pool: If you live in a cold climate, close your pool properly during winter to prevent damage.
Hiring a professional for regular maintenance can save you time and ensure everything is in top condition.
Other swimming pool installation FAQs
Do I need planning permission for a swimming pool?
In most cases, planning permission is not required for residential swimming pools, but always check with your local authority, especially if your property is in a conservation area.
What is the best material for an in-ground pool?
Concrete and fiberglass are the most popular options. Concrete is durable and customizable, while fiberglass offers quicker installation and lower maintenance.
Can I install a pool in a small garden?
Yes, small or custom lap pools can be designed to fit compact spaces, providing a luxurious feature even in smaller gardens.
