It may be worth it to remodel your pool if you plan to sell your home soon. Pool remodels can increase a home’s value by up to 8%. Some of the best-value remodels include replacing a wood deck with pavers or darkening an interior pool finish. Luxury additions like smart lighting, fountains, and fire features can make a dated pool feel modern.

If you have a higher budget, changing the shape of your pool by adding an infinity edge or putting in a swim-up bar can also add a ton of curb appeal.

Avoid pool liner wrinkles by moving slowly as you attach the edge of the liner to the pool wall. Add a few inches of water during this process and slowly walk from the center of the pool to the walls, lightly pressing the liner as you go. For an in-ground pool with a beaded liner, you can also use a wet-and-dry vac to suction out the remaining groundwater and air between the liner and the pool foundation.

The recommended PSI (pounds per square inch) for cleaning vinyl siding can vary, so it's best to consult the manufacturer's guidelines. Generally, vinyl siding can handle high pressure, from 2,500 to 3,500 PSI. For comparison, more delicate materials like wood and aluminum siding should not face more than 1,500 PSI. To safely disperse the pressure on vinyl, use a tip with a wider spray span, such as a green (25-degree) or yellow (15-degree) nozzle. For routine cleaning of light dirt, a garden hose with a spray nozzle may be sufficient. Always exercise caution to avoid using excessive pressure that could damage the siding.

Routine maintenance for an above-ground pool includes regularly cleaning the pool and its filters, balancing water chemistry by checking chemical levels, and inspecting the pool liner and structural components. This ensures the pool's durability, safety, hygiene, and optimal performance.
