The warm weather is here to stay for the season. With the heat and humidity, and immediate access to the sun?s hot rays, most people will want to jump in a pool eventually. Many homeowners build pools into their yards or maintain above ground pools. In either case, proper upkeep requires having the right pool supplies to keep it clean and safe for everyone.
Most importantly, it is essential to keep the water clean. Contaminants can find their way in from the air or from unknowing swimmers and foul the water. Small particles can buildup and make the pool unsightly to swim in. They can also cause injury if stepped on the wrong way. Pump and filtration systems can work on a consistent basis to intake water, filter it, and pass the clean water back out into the pool again.
Pool drains can be dangerous, especially for children. The suction is often overpowering for the strength of a child, so anti-entrapment systems can be used to stop the pump in case any suction is detected. This process works by allowing air into the pump, eliminating the force of entrapment almost immediately.
You can also keep the pool safe by getting the right ladder. Many kinds of ladders and steps are available. Depending on the type of pool, its depth, and how the ladder is being used, you?ll be able to gauge which product is most suitable. Lights are available for ladders as well.
Other pool supplies include pool heaters and thermometers. Some heaters are designed for installation above ground, but there are others that can be put below ground and out of sight. Various kinds of liners are available too, including expandable ones that will last and protect your pool even in winter. Accessories will help install liners as well as patch tears and holes.
