Do pools add value to your house?

In some areas, having a swimming pool may result in an increase in your annual property taxes, but it won’t really add to the value of your home. Due to the fact pools don’t usually increase the price of the home, when building the pool aim to keep the cost of it within 10-15% of what you paid for the home. This will help you to make sure that you don’t blow all your money on an amenity that won’t pay you back.

Do you need a pool pump?

Pool pumps are essential for your pool to run properly. Pool pumps filter the water and make sure it is clean and safe to swim in, and also help mix around the chemicals. It is recommended that the pool pump runs for at least 8 hours a day, as that time frame should be enough to allow for all the water to be circulated in and out of the pump. However, it is always good practise to make sure you’re frequently checking the water clarity and the chemical balance.

Are swimming pools high maintenance?

Pools can be high maintenance if they are not looked after properly. If your pump is running for at least 8 hours a day, you’re motoring the chlorine levels in the water weekly and giving the pool a regular clean with a net or investing in a creepy crawly pool cleaner, you shouldn’t run into many problems. If you are finding algae is starting to form and still won’t go away make sure to go visit your local pool shop with a water sample to get the necessary chemicals to treat the problem. Otherwise look after your pool, throw a pool party and enjoy it!
