Signs That Your Pool Needs Repair

Posted on: September 9th, 2015 by affordablepoolrepair No Comments

Your swimming pool is a great asset to your home, as long as it functions properly and does not pose a risk to family members. Much like any other investment, swimming pools need to be repaired and maintained so that it gives you an enjoyable experience. The following signs will tell you when it is time to call a professional pool repair company.

1. Color of the water: A well-maintained pool has clear,blue water. Unclean, murky water is a sign that your filtration system is not functioning properly. Sometimes, due to the pollutants in the surrounding air or other such factors, the chemical composition of the water may change slightly. This change can become visible when the water turns greenish instead of remaining clear blue.

2. Reduced water level: Water gets evaporated at a higher rate in hot, dry climates. So if you are staying in such a region, you may see the water level of your pool drop by around two inches a week. If the climate is cool and humid, and you still have to regularly refill your pool, chances are that it has developed a leak.

3. Pump noise: The pump creates a typical whirring noise every time it is in operation. With time, this noise may get louder, softer or intermittent and jarring. The changing noise of your pump suggests that it may need to be maintained. Malfunctioning pumps also generally have starting problems and do not draw as much water as they used to. Leaving the pump unattended will slowly make your water unhygienic and make it more difficult for your to refill your pool.

The equipment and structures which are needed to keep your swimming pool safe and functional need to be handled by a professional so that you can ensure that they get quality maintenance. Pool repairs may include dealing with electrical machines like motors, and these machines are around a lot of water. Without the right equipment, it makes it very unsafe for untrained persons to try their hand at repairing.

Pool repair and pool maintenance technicians are much more knowledgeable of the issues that a swimming pool faces, and they are far more capable of finding long term solutions to these problems. They may also be able to identify problems that you may have overlooked, which can save you a lot of trouble if addressed on time.

6 Common Signs of Swimming Pool Problems

Posted on: September 9th, 2015 by affordablepoolrepair No Comments

Swimming is a great form of exercise and entertainment, so having a pool in your backyard makes you healthier and keeps you prepared for when you have friends and family over for the weekend. They’re a great way to stay cool during the summer. Irregular swimming pool maintenance can lead to contaminated water and cause a variety of problems for you and your family. Here are a few things to check to see if your pool is in good condition:

1. Algae: If there is algae in the water, then you’ll know immediately as it turns green. For these species to grow, the pH level of the water needs to be higher than normal, indicating that the chlorine in your pool is insufficient. If you use alternate sanitizers, then you need to make sure that your algaecide levels are up to par.

2. Cloudy Water: The water in your pool becomes cloudy or milky when there are external particles in it. Usually, the filter removes external items that are not minute so if your water isn’t clear then there might be a problem with your filter. Make sure to clean out your filters regularly.

3. Red Stains: Most pools are constructed using a metal foundation. If there are red stains on the pool walls then it means that the chemicals have been absorbed by the metal causing it to become rusty. If this happens, then it means that your pool wasn’t built properly in the first place and you probably need to get it re-finished.

4. Scaling: Scaling occurs when there are too many minute metal particles present in your pool and they start to bind with the calcium in your plaster or tiles and crystallize. This problem is not common for pebble pools.

5. Irritation: If your eyes turn red after a swim or your hair turns green then it indicates that the water has either too much chlorine or too much copper.

6. Leaking: An average pool loses around 2 ½ inches of water in a week, depending on the use and the rate of evaporation. If you see that your pool is losing more than 3 inches of water a week after moderate use then there is a leak in your pool.

If you notice any of these problems, call a professional pool repair service immediately. You can find these services both online and offline with ease.

How to Get the Best Finish for your Pool’s Plaster

Posted on: September 4th, 2015 by affordablepoolrepair No Comments

There are a number of options that you can go through before you jump into pool construction. Everything from shape, size, depth, and most importantly, surface finish can be customized as you wish. Plaster is a popular choice as it gives pools a nice smooth and easy on the skin finish. Pool plaster is a mix of white cement, marble aggregates and water. It also makes the pool look good while being cost effective. In fact, building codes dictate that in most public pools, the surface has to be plastered.

Here are a few tips on getting the finish perfect and keeping it that way

  • White is not the only color
    Back in the day, there was no other choice of color except white, but recent innovations in the field have made it possible for a wide range of colors to be added to the plaster. Addition of color has made it possible for further customization.
  • Quartz additives
    Quartz additives are a way to ensure the finish of the pool lasts a lot longer. They may increase the total cost of your pool construction, but will be worth it in the long run. Quartz also makes the color sheen and pop more, while making it stick longer. Surface finishes range from smooth to matte for enhanced grip.
  • Time of year
    High humidity and comfortably cool temperatures are best suited for plaster to cure well, so start your construction project around the end of spring and early fall time. Plaster needs to take its time and cure evenly for best results. If it’s too hot, the outer layers will quickly harden and cause cracks to form. If its too cold, the hot mix added will make it dry instantly, but will leave behind structural rigidity issues overtime.
  • Acid start
    It is done to make sure the plaster’s surface has no dust or loose particles while creating a smooth top layer. The process takes about two to three days where the pH level is brought down to 0 and then back to normal after brushing the pool down in between. Acid starting a pool results in an even cure and smoothness while also correcting any chemical imbalances that may be present.

As far as cost and pricing goes, it is likely to vary between regions, so make sure you check out a few places and get a number of quotes and estimates before hiring a contractor.

Swimming Pool Materials to Consider Before Remodeling

Posted on: September 3rd, 2015 by affordablepoolrepair No Comments

Pools are a great extension to any home, be it deck level, above ground or ground level. They can be made to reflect the decor and become an integral part of any home. Conversely, the pool area can be its own separate space and can have its own motif. If you already have a pool and are looking at remodeling, this could be the guide for you to select a particular style or make a combination of different styles to create your own, personalized space. There is a lot more to swimming pools than just plain blue tiles. Here are a number of design suggestions that you can think about.

    • Glass
      While being a relatively new idea, glass lined pools are all the rage right now. Glass gives the pool a kind of shimmer and look that makes it a lot more luxurious to look at and feel, something that most other designs cannot do. Glass is also not restricted to a particular pattern, color or even texture. Glass mosaics are currently in, and if you want your pool to look as great as it feels, this could be it.
    • Porcelain
      Porcelain may feel like an odd choice when it comes to pool lining, but there are few materials that offer the longevity that it brings to the pool. The colors and patterns can take quite a beating and you are unlikely to see any fading for years to come. The durability of Porcelain is almost unmatched and is one of the strongest options in the market right now. It is also relatively lightweight, making the installation much simpler.
    • Stone
      Strength, durability, and reliability have no competition when stone is involved. There is a certain sense of permanence that comes with stone that makes it very attractive. There is also the natural pond or lake feel to it that makes stone feel good in a pool. Natural temperature and other properties make it not only aesthetically pleasing but also sensible. Stone will never go out of fashion. Think about it.
    • Concrete
      The cheapest way to line your pool is also the least preferred as raw concrete will never have a smooth finish and can be abrasive on the skin.

The above options are but a few in what you can do with your pool renovation project. Speak to a designer or contractor and see what works best for your space and budget.

Pointers to Consider Before Renovating your Pool

Posted on: September 2nd, 2015 by affordablepoolrepair No Comments

If your pool is looking bleak, with broken tiles and too much dirt between the grout or just generally old and worn, it may be time to think of a remodeling. Firstly, unlike many other projects in your home, pool renovation is not something that can be done by yourself. Do not even attempt a DIY pool remodeling, it’s just not worth the time and effort, this one is best left to the experts. Here are a few things to keep in mind before calling in the contractors to remodel your pool.

Is it the right time?

There are two levels to this question: first, how long after pool construction should you renovate, and which part of the year is best suited to undertake this? There is no real date or time period that is given as to the working life of a pool. In most cases, a well-maintained and responsibly used pool should last a lifetime. Changing the pool instruments, piping, filters and other essential paraphernalia on time and as recommended by the makers is all you need to do, if your pool is well made and constructed. Remodeling and renovation is more of a cosmetic procedure, so if you no longer like the way your pool looks, if it is too old, looks plain or even if it looks too tacky in your opinion, it may be time to go for it.

As for which part of the year is best suited, it depends on when you need the pool to be ready. Pools are normally used around the summer and spring seasons, so fall and early winter may be a good time to get it done. If you are in a region that sees heavy snow or rain, they must be taken into consideration as no work can be done in these conditions. Also, pool renovators have a busy season and a less busy season, rates fluctuate accordingly, so you might want to look that up as well.

Set time and budget

Pool renovation can be literally without end as there are so many things that you can do to make your pool better and work better for you. From different tiles to lighting and shape, there can be no end to it. What you need then is a time frame, a budget and a design. Find a contractor that you can work with and make sure it is done within the constraints of your frame.

Pool Plaster 5 Things You Need to Know

Posted on: January 13th, 2015 by affordablepoolrepair No Comments

Whether you are installing a swimming pool, renovating a swimming pool or remodeling your swimming pool it’s a major life event during the course of the project. The entire process, from the initiaml concept to picking out patio furniture, can be filled with many decisions. None are more crucial or challenging than selecting the perfect pool finish for your Gunite pool. Water is clear, so your interior pool finish is the major factor that will create the color you want your pool to be. Whether it’s island water colors or a traditional blue pool water, the pool plaster finish is a major factor to the water color. Before making such a big decision, take the time to look at all of the conditions and aspects of your pool setting. Here are Five Things To Consider When Choosing Your Pool Color that should help you make the right choice for your ideal paradise!


Surroundings: The amount of foliage and the color of the surrounding hardscaping will definitely affect the look of your pool’s water color. A finish that normally results in a vibrant blue water color can definitely appear aquamarine in a pool surrounded by grass and plants. Slight variations in deck, pool coping and pool tile color will drastically change the finished water color as well. The same pool finish surrounded by a red brick coping versus white stone pool coping will have remarkably different results in appearance. It’s important to consider your pool area and really think about what role they will play in influencing water color in the pool.


Pool size and depth: The size and depth of your pool is unquestionably going to influence the concentration of your water color. The more shallow your pool the lighter the casted color will be; the deeper the pool the darker the casted color. It’s just like looking out over the ocean. This is due to increased light refraction in the deeper water. This produces a deep, rich water color compared to shallow water which can be almost clear. If you have a smaller shallow pool you will usually end up with a light, bright, and fresh version of whichever finish you choose. As you can see, even from the shallow to the deep end of the pool there is a vast difference in color concentration.

Sunlight: Sunlight is really what is creating the color of your pool water, and the amount of sunlight that reaches your pool will directly affect the intensity of the color you see. Sunlight will refract off of every nuance of your finish; especially if you use an aggregate pool finish like River Rok or Diamond Brite. A pool with zero shade will get varying amounts of sunlight depending on the time of day. As a result the water color will appear to change from midday to late afternoon. If your pool is located in an entirely shaded area there will be minimal changes in appearance throughout the day, so you’ll have a fairly consistent pool color. Keeping your swimming pool in full sun will not only increase the vibrancy of your water color, but will also reduce the maintenance.

Water Chemistry: The levels of pH, calcium hardness, and metals in your pool water will change the appearance of pool hue. Too much calcium hardness (the amount of dissolved minerals) or an off the charts pH can result in cloudy water. Which we all know is not going to showcase your pool’s finish in the most vivid way. Pools that are filled using well water contain higher levels of metals such as copper, manganese, or iron can result in a cloudy or even greenish tint. Keeping pool water chemistry in mind, especially if you plan on using well water in your pool.

Harmonize or Highlight: Do you want your guests to see your backyard as a cohesive environment, or do you want the rest of your yard to be a backdrop for your pool? If you’d like your pool to blend in with the rest of your outdoor setting, then choose a finish that will integrate into your landscaping and hardscaping. This will arrange your backyard oasis to be viewed as a whole. On the other hand if you’d like your pool to be the main attraction and focal point of your yard, then select a finish that will really make it pop. For instance, here we have Hydrazzo Classico finish with glass aggregate to sparkle against a natural stone deck and minimal foliage which harmonizes very well within that setting. Conversely, a Diamond Brite Cool Blue plaster finish in against white stone coping and decking creates a vibrant blue which really stands out and highlights the pool as the main feature.

How To Choose The Right Swimming Pool Builder For You

Posted on: January 8th, 2015 by affordablepoolrepair No Comments

4 Qualities Of Great Pool Builders
1. They Put You And Your Family First
2. They Are Only Interested in A Long Term Relationship With You And Your Pool Needs
3. They Work to Constantly Improve Themselves
4. They Keep No Secrets

This begs the question, how can you tell the good from the bad?…or more likely the differences between good, better, and best?
There are several ways.
1. Ask for references and check those references. Check with Better Business Bureau.
2. Ask the builder how many pools as he built? Ask him to let you see some of the pools he has built in person.
3. Ask the builder are you licensed (If needed) and insured?
4. How do you compare to other swimming pool installers in the area?
5. What are the types of pools you build?
6. Who will be supervising the construction of my swimming pool?
7. How long will take to finish building my swimming pool?
8. Do you service the swimming pool after the pool is finished?

These are some important questions ask your swimming pool builder even before they come out to your home to look at the site. This way you can pre-qualify the pool builder see they will fit your needs. Most swimming pool builders generally speaking want to do a good job on your pool but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they can do a good job. Some swimming pool contractors do not have the experience necessary to tackle certain projects. It is important that you feel right about the contractor that you deal with the build your swimming pool, because you’re building a relationship with somebody that should be ongoing and long-lasting for many years. Do a little homework and research and look at some of his other work and talk to some of his other customers. This way you’ll have a quality job with the quality price and remember you get what you pay for. If you’re looking for the lowest price guy you going to get the lowest quality work.

Pool Plaster Installation Process

Posted on: January 7th, 2015 by affordablepoolrepair No Comments

The Installation of the Pool Plaster and the type of pool plaster final finish can be determined by the Pool Plaster Installer. The way the installer mixes and finished the plaster can ultimately determine the final finish of the plaster as well as the longevity of the plaster. If for example the mix of the pool plaster has too much calcium added, (the calcium is added to speed up the finishing time which some installers prefer in order to plaster two or three pools a day per crew), it will generally create a darker off white plaster in a white marble mix plaster for example. To check out what types of plaster are available click here.

Pool Plaster Installers are faced with new challenges as there are several different types of plaster finishes that were not on the market within the last 5-10 years. Some of the plaster finishes available now are Quartz Finishes, Pebble Finishes, and Glass Bead Finishes. Then their are hybrids of each finish as well the traditional white Marble Finish also known as marcite plaster.

Repairing Pool Tile in Your Gunite Pool

Posted on: January 6th, 2015 by affordablepoolrepair No Comments

Repairing Pool Tile

Repairing Pool Tile By Bill Dudley at Affordable Pools in Nashua NH Serving all of New England

Repairing pool tile on your gunite swimming pool can be overwhelming, but if you need only a few pieces of tile patched, then this is a DIY kind of project. If half or more of your tile needs to be replaced it may be wise to have a professional pool tile installer install your new pool tile (we will get to this further down in this article).

If you only need a few pieces of tile replaced, you will either need to save the tile that fell off or get some matching tile to use. Most tile if it is more than 10 years old is no longer made, so you will have to find something similar to your existing tile to replace the missing pieces of tile.
Once you are ready to replace and repair the pool tile, you will need to basic tools for installing the tile. You will need a small marginal trowel or putty knife will work as well, you will need a sponge and you may need a tile cutter or tile snips, depending on the application. You will also need a hammer and a small chisel or a flathead srewdriver.

Repairing Pool Tile

In order to repair the pool tile you may have to lower the water level to properly install the repair tile. Once the water has been lowered the first you will need to remove the existing mortar and grout from where the tiles have fallen off with your hammer and chisel. If any material behind the tile is loose it would need to come out.

Once all the old material is out of the way, dry fit the tile into place. the tile needs to be set farther back then the rest of the tile because when you add mortar to the back of the tile it will then be pressed in to be flush with the existing pool tile. if the tile will fit with enough room for mortar behind the tile, then you can start to mix up mortar. For mortar you can use Type 2 White cement and water. You can also use a modified glass tile adhesive (even if it is mosaic tile and not glass tile) which is designed to be used in wet applications. there are several manufactures of glass tile adhesive and you can get small quantities at a local tile supply or big home store. You will want to mix the tile adhesive to a little thicker consistency than pancake batter. Add some adhesive to the back of the tile and firmly place in the area that you previously prepped. If the pool tile doesn’t stay in place or falls out the mortar adhesive is to wet. If this is the case no big deal take your sponge and clean the area of any wet adhesive as well as the tile. and repeat the process with a thicker consistency mortar. Wipe and excess away with the sponge very gently, to firm of pressure on the sponge can dislodge the tile.

Allow some time for the tile to set up once it does not move by tapping your finger on the pool tile, it is ready to be re-grouted.

To re-grout the pool tile use the same mixture you used to adhere the tile and add a little white crushed marble (you can also buy at a local pool store or online pool plaster mix or pool grout which are basically same things if you can not find white ground marble dust). Your grout mixture should be a little wetter than your tile adhesive was. You can use you sponge to apply the grout to the pool tile. Let the pool tile grout set up for about 10 to 15 minutes then you can wash any excess material away with your sponge. The final step is to come back a couple hours later and wipe down with a cloth towel to remove any haze from the pool tile.

If the swimming pool tile repair is to large or you don’t think this is something you can accomplish on your own hire a Pool Tile Professional Installer. If you are in the New England Area you can give Affordable Pools a call at 888-611-7665
