Resurfacing your pool may not be the most glamorous change you can make to your backyard, but it is an important one. When the pool’s interior finish becomes pitted and scarred, it can leak, and that is a situation you certainly want to prevent. Pools need resurfacing due to chemical wear and tear and exposure to the elements. Other signs of trouble include: 1. Pool surface chalking 2. Your pool is getting harder and harder to keep clean and chemically balanced. Pool surfaces have different lifespans, most lasting anywhere from 5 to 15 years. By keeping your water chemistry balanced, your pool surface will generally last longer.
If your pool does need resurfacing, the good news is that there are so many more options than when your pool was originally installed. A new finish can add a whole new look to your pool. Some of today’s most popular pool finishes are aggregates—pool plaster mixed with stones, pebbles and/or glass beads. These types of finishes provide extra resilience, as well as being aesthetically pleasing. This type of finish also allows you to choose the color of your water—varying from a deep, dark blue to an oceany-looking green to a more traditional light blue. It is low maintenance, durable and the slight texture of the pebbles makes this type of surface slip resistant.
So if the interior of your pool is starting to show it’s age, it may be time to explore some exciting resurfacing ideas. Once the job is completed, you’ll be thrilled with the new life it brings to your backyard oasis.
