Common Mistakes to Avoid While Designing Pools and Landscapes

Human beings are not immune to mistakes when it comes to even the most basic things. Being prone to mistakes while designing pools and landscapes is very common in today’s age. However, you can tackle these pitfalls once you become aware of them. Here are some of the most common errors that one can come across in a pool and landscape project:

Drowning risks 

Inexperienced swimmers and children should be provided with supervision while they are using the swimming pool. It is recommended that an area of the pool be designed with less depth to make it friendly for children and beginners. It is important to ensure you have safety equipment, including safety jackets, reaching poles, a first aid kit, etc. To ensure added safety, you can install a pool alarm to alert you if someone enters the pool unexpectedly. 

Chemical balance issues 

Maintaining healthy chemical levels in the pool will safeguard the users from potential skin reactions and other waterborne diseases. Regular pH level checks should be tested to ensure the pool water is at the ideal pH levels between 7 and 7.6. Maintaining correct pH levels will help ensure the longer life of the pool equipment as well. It is also important to ensure that the chemicals used in the pool are stored safely and out of reach of children. It is important to wear safety equipment while applying the chemicals in the pool as well; failing to do so might cause respiratory issues or burns.

Hygiene shortfalls 

Maintaining hygiene in and around your swimming pool is essential to prevent anybody falling ill from using the pool. Ensuring a functional filtration system helps you to maintain clear and safe water in the swimming pool. The pool should be cleaned regularly, removing any foreign particles and debris to prevent accelerated algae formation. Regular vacuuming of the pool and cleaning the pool tiles will minimize algae formation in the pool and also ensure the pool shines for a long time. If the pool is not being used every day, skimming the water daily or every alternate will ensure aeration of the water and help maintain the water quality. 

Electrical Safety 

Ensuring safety precautions are maintained about electrical equipment used in the swimming pool is very important in maintaining a swimming pool, as failure in this aspect would turn life-threatening and cause serious problems. Ensure the correct devices are used, there is no hazardous wiring, and no stray electric current is present in the pool. 

Physical Safety 

You have to ensure the surroundings of the pool are non-slippery and the metal railings are not sharp and are not raising any corrosion risks to minimize injuries from slipping or related injuries. 

Unconventional Swimming Pool Designs

Choosing a pool layout without considering your property’s capability to provide the functionality would prove to be a loss in terms of effort and money. Always make sure the pool design matches the layout of your property.

The cramped area outside the pool 

Not considering the pool area to be spacious enough to incorporate space to have entertainment and free movement around the pool will reduce the functionality of a private pool, unless you are using the pool for Olympic training.

Ignored Landscaping Aspects

Landscaping your swimming pool and the pool area with welcoming elements would enhance the aesthetic appeal of your pool, and neglecting landscaping would make your pool less inviting, which would go against the reason for investing in a swimming pool. Thoughtful landscaping provides you comfort and a relaxing environment, which would be an asset in the long run.
