Remodeling your swimming pool can make a dramatic difference to the look and feel of your home and yard. There are lots of ways to renovate, remodel and re-create your backyard swimming pool, from simple additions to a more elaborate remodeling project.
You can add a spa or color-changing lighting, resurface your interior with a lasting color quartz finish, bring in automation with easy digital controls, or enjoy the ultimate in gentle, fuss-free purification.
Accessories
A backyard pool can create the perfect outdoor setting. Water features such as streams, waterfalls, fountains, water gardens or even ponds with aquatic plants and fish add beauty and enjoyment to the pools. There are many Cosmetic features also like glass blocks, negative edges, tile inlays, fiber optic lighting, and colored plaster and aggregate.
Add another dimension to your pool with many decking options. Special concrete coatings, tile, slate, or brick can make your pool an extension of your home’s existing architecture. Multi-level decks are also an option and offer locations for picnic tables, patio furniture, or planters. Patio furniture and lounges serve as quiet places to relax, and you can add an element of fun with pool toys and pool accessories.
A free-standing or permanently installed grill makes for a great addition to the pool. A pool bar is also a great addition to any style pool by allowing you to serve refreshments at the poolside without ever having to leave the water.
Tanning shelves, swim-up bars, spas and benches are further options to consider. With remote controls, you can automate much of the operational process. By installing remote controls from inside your home, you can control your pool, spa, heaters, lighting, covers and more. This technology also allows you to program your pool area. You can get laser security; fences; pool safety covers; lighting and automated pool cleaners.
Landscaping
Add a splash of color to your pools. Tropical foliage and lush greenery will add depth and color to your backyard and create a botanical paradise. Use hedges, fencing, and retaining walls for privacy and safety.
Lighting
Add or modify pool lighting to extend your poolside entertaining well into the evenings. In fact, lighting can change the entire mood of the pool at night. Low profile lights or landscaping lights give subtle illumination around the perimeter, and underwater and fiber optic lights can give swimmers a colorful underwater display.
Filter
Getting a new filter can mean cleaner, clearer water which means a more beautiful pool and less maintenance. A new pump can save electricity and improve water flow, which can reduce the chances of bacteria or water chemistry problems. And the new technology spa heaters heat faster, are safer and can sometimes allow you to heat your pool.

If you are planning on having a pool installed in your backyard then you are most likely somewhat amazed at the amount of equipment that is required to keep your pool up and going. Then on top of that, you need a good supply of pool toys to keep the kids occupied while they are splashing around in the pool.
All of this can be more than a little overwhelming and also somewhat stressful on your budget. So you may be asking yourself, do you really need an automatic pool cleaner? After all, the pool already has a filter to keep the water clean. What about a pool service, can’t they clean the pool for you?
The fact is that a pools filter handles the job of keeping the actual water clean and that is a completely separate issue from the pool itself. If you have a built in pool, not only will the heavy debris such as dead bugs and debris have to be vacuumed up but the concrete sides of the pool have to be scrubbed.
Sure you can do it yourself but it will take a few hours to get done and it has to be done regularly. If the price on an automatic pool cleaner seems expensive to you then sit down and add up all of the time that you will spend in just one year keeping your pool clean if it is done manualy.
Also, remember that your pool has to be cleaned occasionally even in the dead of winter. Built in and above ground pools have two separate type of cleaning needs, so there are two distinct types of pool cleaners for each pool. Because above ground pool cleaners have so few moving parts they also tend to be a lot more inexpensive to purchase.
