A swimming pool is that happy zone where you can let yourself go and leave all your cares behind. And if you are lucky enough to live in Las Vegas, you can be sure that your pool will be in use for a good part of the year! So choose wisely - and with full knowledge of the costs of building, the various types, and the cost of maintenance - and California Pools - Las Vegas will transform your backyard into your happy zone.

There are three types of pools, concrete or gunite, fiberglass, and vinyl.

• Concrete Pool - Concrete pools are durable, look classy, and can be customized in size and shape. However, it is more expensive to build and maintain them. It also takes a long time to construct and has higher chemical interactions. Since concrete is organic and porous, it reacts with salt water and increases the need and frequency of cleaning and maintenance.
• Vinyl Liner Pool - Although a Vinyl pool has a low cost initially, it is not durable. The vinyl liner requires replacement in 5 to 9 years which is expensive.
• Fiberglass Pool - Durable, low maintenance cost, quick installation, stylish looks and finish, and fewer chemical interactions make fiberglass pools a popular choice for many. The only drawback is that a fiberglass pool is not customizable.

Depending on your preference and desired style, California Pools - Las Vegas swimming pool builders can help you find a suitable swimming pool of the right size, shape, and depth for your backyard.

How much does each type of pool cost to maintain?

• A Concrete Pool costs between $27,000 and $28,000. Since concrete is porous, it harbors algae easily. Weekly brushing and scrubbing are required to keep it clean and bacteria-free. The water’s pH levels and chemical balance have to be maintained carefully.
• A Vinyl Pool costs between $11,000 and $12,000. A significant expense is a replacement of the liner every 5 to 9 years which costs between $4,000 to $5,000. The liner is delicate and can get damaged by pets or things falling in.
• A Fibreglass Pool costs less than $4,000. You need to look after the pH of the water and the chemical balance. No need to worry about algae or damage to the pool surfaces.

Some fundamental maintenance tips for pool owners in Vegas

Swimming pool maintenance essentials to follow:

• Maintain your pool every week - skimming the pool and clearing any floating debris and leaves which could clog the filters is a must. In addition, scrub and brush the sides and bottom to keep them free of algae. Vacuuming the pool will remove dirt as well.
• Check pool equipment and the chemistry of the water every month. Includes cleaning filters and drains and maintaining the pH levels of the water.
• Seasonal maintenance - Las Vegas has excellent weather for most of the year, except December through February, when it gets cold. For the rest of the year, the pool party prevails! Even in winter, except for a few rainy days, there is bright sunshine. So if closing the pool for the winter, ensure you have ‘winterized’ it.

Summertime maintenance needs some work since the pool is in use throughout the season. Your pool can be well looked after by increasing the frequency of following these essential tips during summer.
