Pools: Style Without Sacrificing Safety

Hi, my name is Katrina, and I have always had a pool. My parents had one when I was growing up, I have lived in apartment complexes with pools, and I currently have a pool in my yard. Through the years, I have paid close attention to how people position their pools, the designs they select and the fences they use. Personally, I am not a fan of super industrial looking or boring fences and pool designs. Instead, I like to see creative and beautiful ideas, and achieving a stylish pool is possible. Worried that it will disrupt your safety? Well, it wont. This blog has all kind of tips on achieving pool style without giving up on safety. Enjoy swimming in style!

Three Benefits of Patching a Torn Pool Liner

 Categories: , Blog

Over time, it's possible for the liner of your pool to develop a tear. This issue can occur for all sorts of reasons, including when a pet swims in the pool and scratches at the pool walls with its claws. If you notice a tear in the liner, it's important to contact your local pool service to discuss your next steps. While some people favor replacing the liner, especially if it's old or has an outdated design, another option is to patch it. A pool service can dispatch a technician to patch the torn area promptly, as well as assess the overall liner to ensure that other damage isn't present. Here are three benefits of patching your torn pool liner.

Cost Savings

The biggest benefit of having your local pool service patch your liner instead of replacing it is the cost savings of the former task. While you can get a quote for the patchwork and the replacement, you can expect that the patch will be a fraction of the cost of getting a new pool liner. While replacing the liner is a task that you'll have to consider at some point, you'll appreciate being able to save money by patching the damage in the meantime.

Quicker Resolution

Replacing a pool liner is a large-scale project that can take some time to complete. It involves draining the pool's water entirely, removing the current liner, installing the new one, and then filling the pool once again. Conversely, patching a tear in your liner is a project that is quick to complete. This can be ideal because it won't interfere with your family's use of the pool. For example, if you notice a tear just a few days before you plan to host a pool party, you can have a pool service fix the issue without interrupting the party.

No Waste

If you do your best to minimize the waste that your household produces, you'll likely favor patching a torn pool liner instead of replacing it. When you replace a liner, the old one will go to a landfill, which may not be an idea that you like. While replacing a liner can be necessary at certain times, if there's an opportunity to patch the damage, you may feel as though this waste-free solution is a better option for the environment. To learn more about patching a torn pool liner, contact a local pool service.
