With the warmer months fast approaching, it’s time to get your pool area ready for hot summer days (and nights). And what better way to do that than with a pool update? However, don’t get overwhelmed right away — we’re actually bringing you solutions that are not only affordable but also very easy to do. Whether your goal is to upgrade the aesthetics or enhance the functionality of your pool — we’ve got the solution for you.
LED Lighting
First, let’s talk about LED lighting. I’m a huge fan of outdoor lighting, especially when it comes to pools. And there’s nothing that could quite illuminate your pool area or add a pop of color quite as good as LED lights. And the best part? You’ll also save plenty of energy( when compared to traditional lighting options. Additionally, you can opt for programmable LED lights to set the mood when you’re having a get-together or a pool party. Adding lights is also a great way to get creative. There are so many ways to do it, and most of them are also surprisingly affordable.
Add a Water Feature
If you’re looking for something to elevate the visual appeal of your pool, then what better way to do that than by incorporating a water feature such as a fountain, waterfall, or bubbling jets? These additions not only create a peaceful atmosphere but also make your pool look significantly more expensive and cooler. Moreover, the sound of flowing water can help mask unwanted noise from nearby surroundings, which will make you feel like you’re on vacation. Even if you’re just hanging by your own pool.
Install a Pool Heater or Chiller
Tired of feeling too hot or too warm when swimming in your pool? Then it’s about time to maintain optimal water temperature with a pool heater or chiller. A pool heater keeps the water warm on cooler days, allowing you to enjoy your pool year-round, while a chiller cools the water during scorching summer heatwaves, ensuring refreshing dips on hot days. Choose the right heating or cooling solution based on your climate and personal preferences. And of course — one that would work best for your budget.
New Outdoor Furniture
What easier way to upgrade your pool area than by adding stylish outdoor furniture and accessories? Lounge chairs, dining sets, umbrellas, and hammocks create inviting spaces for relaxation and socializing. You’ll get some great use out of them during the warmer months, and you’ll also be able to host some amazing pool parties and get-togethers. But because this type of furniture is exposed to such specific conditions, make sure you invest in something that can withstand exposure to sunlight, chlorine, and moisture.
Adding Smart Technology
Last but not least, why not add smart technology to your pool? I know, it’s a bit more extravagant and expensive than the previous options. However, it could also seriously upgrade your pool experience. Smart devices such as pool controllers, Wi-Fi-enabled pumps, and automated chemical dispensers allow you to monitor and adjust pool settings remotely from your smartphone or tablet. Imagine the options that you could have! From scheduling the activity of your pool filters, getting alert notifications if something happens, or putting your pool in energy-saving mode whenever you feel the need to.
