It’s all in the detail | How to properly plan your pool location, design and equipment to improve your property and lifestyle.
The pool industry has never been busier, with many pool builders fully booked for the next six to eight months. Over the last three years there has been huge demand for residential swimming pools, in addition to other investments in the home. A properly planned pool will bring years of enjoyment for your family and guests as well as increase the value of your property. Here are a few must haves for your new pool that should be considered and included at the planning stages.
The right location
What’s the access point from house to pool? This is important if you don’t want dripping kids and friends walking through your house. Also think about when and where the sun will be hitting your pool. You want some sunlight to keep the pool water warm and to make swimming enjoyable, so consider a north-facing location that gets plenty of sun. Generally four hours per day is ideal.
The right size
Think about how big you want your pool to be. Will it grow with your family? Will it be too much work to maintain? Is there still room for the kids to kick a ball around in the yard?
The right lighting
Whether it’s stylish and simple or multicoloured fun, the right pool lighting will make all the difference.
The right heating
Solar can extend the swimming season — if you get sun, that is! But a heat pump gives you real control to choose the temperature you want, when you want it, any time of the year.
The cleanest, healthiest, swimmable water
There is nothing better than coming home from a long day at work and jumping in your pool for a refreshing dip in clean, healthy, swimmable water. To help pool owners manage that, Davey’s new Wi-Fi-enabled pool chemistry controller, called Lifeguard, is just the thing. Lifeguard offers simple pool water management, right from your phone. With Lifeguard, sanitisation, pH and acid dosing, even pool temperature can all be automated, and the app will let you know if you are running low on salt or minerals and when you need to check the acid drum. No more surprises when you go to use your pool!
