SWIMMING POOLS

Vinyl-Liner Pool
A vinyl-liner pool is furnished to the
installer in kit form. After excavation, the panel walls are
bolted or fastened together and supported at the bottom by a
concrete footing. The vinyl liner is spread over the interior of
the pool and covers the excavated floor and paneled walls. It is
connected to the top of the panel walls by a vinyl rib at the
outside edge of the liner. Be sure to ask your liners generally
have to be replaced in your area of the country. Construction
time for vinyl-liner pools is typically one to three weeks.
Points to Ponder
Weather: Vinyl-liner pools are popular in
cold-weather areas of the country. These pools can be easily
winterized by draining them down and covering them until the
spring.
Smooth Surface: The vinyl liner is smooth and
nonporous, making stain removal easy if stains are treated
promptly.
Other Things To Think About
There are myriad other options and accessories available
to complete your backyard retreat. Once you've decided on the
pool type and style best suited to your needs, be sure to ask
about the following:
Covers: A pool cover can be a wonderful
addition to your pool and/or spa area, and one of their main
benefits can be increased safety. Covers come in many varieties
and can extend the swimming season of your pool by several weeks
by retaining the solar heat that is generated each day. Also, if
you live in a highly wooded area, they can be used to keep
leaves and other debris out of your pool. Many covers come in
automatic or manual versions.
Heaters: Pool heaters come in many shapes and
sizes. In milder climes, you can enjoy year-round swimming by
adding a heater to your pool set-up.
Filters: There also are many types of pool
filters designed to meet the particular needs of your pool. Your
dealer or builder can help you choose the one right for you.
Cleaners and Water Levelers: From automatic
inground cleaning systems that you just "set and forget" to
jazzy, high-tech pool vacs that literally climb your pool walls,
there are a variety of systems available to help you keep your
pool sparkling clean. If you're the type who likes to splash and
dash, you'll certainly be interested in learning more about
automatic water levelers that keep the water level in your pool
at just the right setting.
Important laws regarding safety
must be considered before choosing your new pool. Specific
regulations vary with each community, so be sure you are clear
about the letter of the law before installation begins.
