If you constructed your pool a few years ago, it might be time to do some upgrades. This will give your pool a new look and feel.
Plus, upgrading your pool will boost the value of your property. A well-designed pool will become a gathering place where family and friends can create lifetime memories.
Thinking about finances? Be at ease. There are numerous ways to enhance your pool without spending an exuberant amount of money.
Today we will discuss budget-friendly ways to incorporate all the fancy features and decor you can think of. This article is all about the options you have.
Add a Water Feature
Incorporating a water feature such as a fountain, waterfall, rain curtains or scuppers will really make your pool standout. Any of these features will enhance the beauty of your pool.
Water features also improve pool water circulation. When you have great water circulation in your pool, the build-up of debris will be less.
There will also be a less likely chance of algae growing because algae does not like moving water. Keeping your pool filter clean is a big part of having clean pool.
The sound of moving water will transform your backyard into a tranquil haven. Each water feature will have its own special sound. You can choose anything from a babbling brook to a flowing stream to a rush of cascading waves.
Simple waterfalls and fountains are relatively cheap and easy to install. Some water features may require additional plumbing lines.
Install a Diving Board or Slide
Your pool area will be more enjoyable with slides, diving boards, or diving rocks. Any of these items will be adored by your youngsters.
Pools and slides are made of durable materials that are resistant to UV rays and all weather conditions, including temperature fluctuations. Slides, diving boards and ladders will all be coated with an anti-slip coating which is especially beneficial for all users, kids and grown-ups alike.
Remember that not every pool that can accommodate adding this kind of item. Your pool must already have sufficient depths to prevent any accidents. Always encourage safe usage of diving boards and slides.
Salt Water Chlorinator
Regular chlorine can be a harmful chemical. When it is out of balance, it can irritate the skin and eyes, as well as cause breathing issues. For asthma sufferers or people with sensitive skin, these things will cause issues even when the chlorine is balanced.
Not to mention that you will need to buy chlorine frequently. The cost to maintain a chlorinated pool can run anywhere from $300-$800 per year versus less than $100 a year to maintain a saltwater pool.
Saltwater chlorination doesn’t generate any harsh chemicals and automatically regulates your chlorine levels using a milder, better salt-based chlorine. The chlorinator will add the salt (sodium chloride) to the pool. Then, an electrolytic cell will transform the salt into chlorine and sanitize the water.

There are options for halogen, incandescent, and LED lighting. Halogen lights produce a bright, torch-like light. Incandescent bulbs will last for around 1,000 hours.
LED lights are the wave of the future and can last over 20,000 hours. Your electricity costs will also decrease if you install LED lighting.

Modern pool automation will give you control over your pool and spa operation. You can update to a system that uses a PC, tablet, smartphone, mobile device, or tabletop remote control. You can easily control many different functions with pushbuttons, including lighting, heating, water features, and much more.
Replace decking
If your pool deck or patio area has any cracking or damaged areas, it’s time to replace it. Or maybe you just want a new, fresh feel for your backyard space.
Replacing your pool deck will increase the value of your home as well as make the area safer for people and pets. Plus, when your home looks good, you feel good.
An entirely new deck made of brick, concrete pavers, natural stone pavers, or wood may be the alternative if your patio is looking worn out. Choose a decking material that will not become slippery when wet and will not absorb excess heat from the sun.
