What Products Do You Use for the Renovation of an Inground Pool?

Renovate your inground pool for hours of fun in the sun.

Over time, your inground swimming pool becomes dated and dangerous. Sharp edges and faulty equipment can endanger people swimming in your pool. Renovating your inground swimming pool not only makes it an attractive water feature, but it also keeps it functioning properly so it's safer for you and your family to use.

Construction Materials

Fiberglass is a material used for the body of an inground swimming pool. The pool deck, which is the hardscape material around the edge of the pool, can be made of stone, tile or concrete. The pool deck is often designed to blend the fiberglass body and the appearance of the home to create one cohesive design.

Plastering

Replastering an inground swimming pool often requires permits and inspections from a local governmental building agency. Plaster is applied over the fiberglass lining of the swimming pool, adding color, texture and design elements like the addition of a shallow section or tanning ledge.

Equipment

Evaluate inground swimming pool equipment in any renovation process. Check pool filtering equipment, chemical dispensing equipment, vacuums and alarms. Without the essential filtering and cleaning equipment, your swimming pool can quickly become a breeding ground for algae, insects and amphibians.

Accessories

Add underwater lights. Underwater lights extend the time you and your family can use the swimming pool each day. Consider seating for lounging and dining. Place cushions on seating for sound absorption and comfort. Put a patio umbrella nearby so your guests have shade as well as sun.
