Breaking the Myths of Pool Ownership

Not sure that you want to bare all the responsibilities that you hear about when it comes to having a pool? Outdoor Influence is here to address the speculations made about pool owners’ responsibilities.

It’s been heard that many people have misconceptions about pools and this leads to them denying themselves to their dream backyard. They may think that pools require frequent repairs, expensive equipment and chemicals, or labor-intensive maintenance. These are all myths that have been over exaggerated— it’s much easier than one would imagine! Don’t be one to deny yourself the rest and relaxation a pool can bring because of these so-called reasons.

Myth #1: “Pools need to be repaired often.”

Sometimes, people may perpetuate the myth that pools need frequent repairs. Sure, mechanical systems can break down. If your pool is installed by a credible company, however, you will experience few issues. With that being said, some light maintenance will help prevent most potential problems before they ever become serious.

Myth #2: “Pools require expensive upkeep and accessories.”

It is a fact that pools need water, chemicals, and electricity for heaters and pumps. However, if you compare these costs to the costs of owning other recreational additions, such as boats or RVs, you will find that pools are much less expensive. Again, hiring a credible and honest company to install and help maintain your pool will do wonders for your budget.

Myth #3: “Pools need lots of maintenance.”

And then there’s the idea of extensive maintenance. Pools don’t really require a ton of regular maintenance. At most, they will need one or two hours a week for some cleaning and chemical balancing. You’ll find that you’re spending much more time actually enjoying your pool than maintaining it!
