Transform Your Backyard Oasis with Expert Pool Renovation Services Tailored to Enhance Beauty, Functionality, and Longevity

Your pool and backyard is your outdoor oasis; the place you go to enjoy your home when the weather is warm and inviting. Over time, particularly in the harsh freeze – thaw cycles of the mid-atlantic area, the elements can take their toll on your pool and deck materials, causing them to become worn and fall into a state of disrepair. Styles also change over time and the design you once loved may begin to feel outdated. If these issues are impacting your enjoyment of your pool and outdoor space, it may be time to consider a renovation project.

At Potomac Pool Service, we enjoy breathing new life into your pool that will deliver years of enjoyment to you and your family. Our team can customize your renovation to address your unique needs, providing added beauty, function and safety that will allow you to enjoy your backyard to its fullest.

When Should I Consider a Pool Renovation?

If you’re tired of the look and feel of your pool and desire a change, it’s likely a good time to consider a pool makeover. However, there are also a variety of functional issues that may develop over time which indicate a pool remodel is necessary:

Physical damage Broken or missing tiles, pitted or discolored plaster, or cracks in your pool wall can cause injury or leaks to develop. If left in disrepair, this can potentially damage your pool’s concrete substructure resulting in costly and invasive repairs.
Inefficient energy usage If your pool was built a long time ago, it’s likely that it wasn’t designed with optimal energy efficiency in mind. Pool renovations can take advantage of energy efficient designs that will lower your utility bills, saving you a lot of money over time.
Outdated equipment: Older pools may include outdated pumps, filters and plumbing which prevent your pool from operating efficiently. Updating this equipment as part of a pool remodel can provide greater convenience and lower the cost of pool operations. Most newer systems can also be programmed and run using your smart phone, making it easier to control your equipment.
Outdated style: If you’re a fan of vintage pools, then an outdated style may be exactly what you’re looking for. But for most people, this isn’t the case. Pool styles change over time, and you may reach a point where a pool makeover is necessary to deliver the enjoyment you crave from your pool.
Outdated lighting Outdated incandescent or broken lighting fixtures can present a safety hazard. A pool remodel would ensure any underlying electrical issues are repaired when new lighting fixtures are installed, providing you with the enhanced safety and updated LED color lighting options at your fingertips.
Limited features: Do you find that your current pool isn’t ideally suited for the functionality of how you use the space? Maybe you’re not making the best use of your deck footprint, or would prefer a sun shelf or deep end swim out. A renovation can address all of these issues. You can make better use of your space and add whatever features you may need to get more enjoyment out of your pool.

Plaster Renovation Start-Up Procedures

The pool finish will start to hydrate immediately after mixing, with the majority of hydration taking place within the first 28 days. This critical time period is when a plaster finish is most susceptible to staining, scaling and discoloration. A proper start-up procedure including timely brushing and constant monitoring and adjusting of the pool water is mandatory. The following are partial recommendations taken from the National Plasters Council. Please ask contractor for a complete list of instructions.

Step 1

Make sure the filtration equipment is operational.

Step 2

Remove all floor return heads and directional eyeballs (if appropriate and recommended in your geographical area).

Step 3

Based on temperature and type of finish, fill the pool to the middle of the skimmer or specified water level without interruption as rapidly as possible with clean potable water to help prevent a bowl ring. Place a clean rag on the end of the hose, always placed in the deepest area, to prevent damage to the surface material. If a water truck is required, 25 inches (60 cm) of water should be placed at the deepest area for a water cushion. Wheeled devises should not be used in the pool until after 28 days.

Step 4

At no time should any person or pets be allowed in the pool during the fill. Do not allow any external sources of water to enter the pool to help prevent streaking. It is recommended that you do not swim in the pool until the water is properly balanced. Test fill water for pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness and metals. Record test results.

Step 5

Start the filtration system immediately when the pool is full to the middle of the skimmer or specified water level.

• Do not add chlorine for 48 hours
• Operate filtration system continuously for a minimum of 72 hours
• Do not turn on pool heater until there is no plaster dust in the pool
• Add a quality sequestering agent
• Brush the entire pool surface thoroughly at least twice daily to remove all plaster dust
• Make sure to adjust the pH, alkalinity and calcium hardness to the recommended levels. *Read your warranty, or the NPC Start Up Instructions, or ask your pool professional.
