When it comes to your home, routine maintenance is important. This includes your swimming pool. Think of your pool as a giant bathtub. This is a bathtub that is outside, meaning that is can get much dirtier than a typical bathtub that sits inside. Now, you would never get into a bathtub that is dirty. The same concept applies to swimming pools. You also want to plan ahead with what type of pool you want depending on what you want to use it for such as pool sports or lounging.Easiest Pools to MaintainThe reality is that maintenance is inevitable when it comes to any swimming pool; however, some pools require more maintenance than others. While there are lots of factors that should play a role when you are looking for a swimming pool such as price, size, longevity, durability, and the possibility of repairs, maintenance is often overlooked. As a result, many people refer to maintenance as a hidden cost of owning a pool. When it comes to finding a swimming pool that requires the least amount of maintenance, it is important to consider the three most common types of swimming pools.Concrete Pools One of the most popular types of swimming pools is a concrete pool. Most people like them because they are the most sturdy. Most people also find them to be the most aesthetically pleasing as well. On the other hand, concrete pools are also the most expensive. This is true in terms of sticker price as well as maintenance. There are a number of reasons why concrete pools are so expensive to maintain. These include: The role of acid washing The possibility of algae that grow continuously The pool needs to be cleaned by a trained professional at least once per year Steel brushing is required for the pool at least once per week There are two circulations that the pool’s filter must carry out every day The pool needs to be refinished occasionally The chemistry of the water must be monitored closely With this in mind, many people who buy a concrete pool see this as an investment. As a result, they often hire a trained professional to help them maintain the pool.Vinyl Pools A vinyl swimming pool is probably the second most popular type of swimming pool. Those who choose to go with a vinyl pool often like this option because it is the cheapest in terms of sticker price. At the same time, there is still a fair bit of maintenance that has to be done with liner pools. These include: The liner is prone to tearing and leaking (because it is not concrete), so the liner might have to be replaced from time to time, which can be costly The water chemistry still needs to be followed closely The filter will have to circulate the water at least once per day There are some parts of the pool that might not have an adequate amount of circulation, which can lead to algae growth This list is shorter than concrete pools; however, there is still quite a bit that has to be done.Fiberglass Pools Finally, the easiest pool to maintain is called a fiberglass pool. The list of maintenance tasks with this type of pool is much shorter. Some of the tasks include: The water has to be circulated once per day by the filtration system The water chemistry has to be checked before the pool can be used A fiberglass pool is not prone to growing algae, which is one of the main reasons why this pool is easier to maintain. Anyone who is looking for a pool that doesn’t require a lot of maintenance may want to consider going with a fiberglass pool.Maintain Your Pool & Get Pool Accessories At Dunn Rite Pool Products, we are here to help you complete your vision of your pool.

If you are looking for a great way to enjoy the summer sun, you could be thinking about hosting a pool party with a  pool volleyball game in your backyard or taking a stroll to the nearby neighborhood pool. At the same time, you might also be wondering what gives pools their blue color. While most people know that a green pool or a brown pool is something to stay far away from (or clean up if they own it), why is blue the right color of a pool? How do we know that a blue pool is safe for use? There are a few points to keep in mind. Why Swimming Pools Are Blue If you are looking for something to drink and you pour a glass of water, you do not want it to be blue. In fact, you expect it to be clear, right? On the other hand, you are totally fine jumping in a pool that is blue. In fact, you expect it. Why is this the case? Reflects Sky There are a few major reasons why pools are blue. First, pools tend to turn blue because they are reflecting the sky. The sky is blue, so the water in pools tends to look blue as well. While this is a part of the argument, it is not the entirety of the explanation. Blue Tiles or Fiberglass Next, pools still look blue even when the sky is mostly cloudy, so there must be more to it, right? Yes! Pools are also blue because many people use blue tiles or fiberglass to construct their pools. Therefore, even though the water itself appears blue, people see the tiles or fiberglass underneath, which has been constructed to be blue. People like blue tiles and fiberglass because they expect to see a blue pool. The clear water looks blue due to the construction materials. Water Molecules Even this is not enough to explain everything. It is also important to explore the chemistry of how water molecules work. Water molecules get their energy from the sunlight that strikes them. When light strikes the water molecules, they absorb some of the visible spectrum while reflecting other colors. In this case, the water molecules absorb the red wavelengths of light from the sun. In return, they reflect the other types of light. This includes blue. As a result, water molecules in the pool reflect blue light to the eyes of nearby swimmers and sunbathers, causing the water to look blue. Water Depth Finally, some people would also like to know what determines how blue the water looks to the naked eye. This has to do with the depth of the water. The deeper the pool goes, the more opportunity there is for light to get absorbed by other water molecules along the way. This is what makes pools that are particularly deep that much darker when thinking about how blue they look. How to Turn Swimming Pools Blue If you walk outside and expect to see a blue pool, you might be surprised if this is your first trip out there this summer. Green pools are a common problem. This tends to happen due to algae that might be present in the pool. The good news is that a chlorine shock can clear out the algae quickly. Then, the pool filter can be used to remove the dead algae the next day. Finally, you can resume your regular pool maintenance, helping the pool turn that beautiful blue color once again.

Summer days often mean a trip to the pool—maybe the one in your backyard, the neighborhood pool, or a friend’s. No matter where you’re heading, it’s important to check your pool day list, and check it twice, because few things are as frustrating as heading off to the pool only to find that a few of your essentials didn’t make the trip with you. From packing water to getting  pool basketball, we have you covered for your next pool day! Pool Day Checklist Here are just a few things you will need to make your day at the pool a great one: Beach Bags Make sure you have a large, sturdy, waterproof bag to hold all your supplies. You don’t want to use plastic bags for your wet items, a large waterproof beach bag is the way to go. Plus, a large bag with plenty of pockets will give you room for everything your family wants to bring along. Beach Towels Remember to bring your beach towels! And bring extras to line your beach bag with. If you put them at the bottom of your bag, they’ll absorb any water that might leak on the way home, or on the way there. Water Make sure to have lots of drinking water on hand. Whether you’re heading to someone else’s pool or your backyard pool, having plenty of water on hand is important. Have a cooler full of water to keep the kids from running in and out of the house to retrieve water—and if you’re at the neighborhood pool, having your own water will keep you from spending money at the snack bar. Food Have healthy snacks on hand for hunger pains. Bring chips, crackers, carrots, as well as sandwiches if you’ll be gone all day. And don’t forget paper towels or napkins. Sunscreen Sunscreen is the most important thing on your list. Choose a broad spectrum sunscreen that will block both UVA and UVB rays. Remember, you will need to reapply if you get wet or sweat. Even if you don’t get wet, you should still reapply every few hours. Don’t squint all day! Sunglasses will save your eyesight and keep you from developing wrinkles. Find a pair of sunglasses that, like the sunscreen, block both UVA and UVB rays. First Aid Kit Pack a first aid kit in case of scrapes. Make sure to pack band-aids and antiseptic. Extra Clothes If you are heading to someone else’s pool, bring a change of clothes in case the ones your family are wearing get wet. This will make the ride home a lot more comfortable. Umbrella and Chairs Bring along a portable umbrella to give you some extra sun protection. Plus, a couple of comfy chairs will help if you aren’t sure there will be enough chairs to go around at the neighborhood pool. Pool Accessories You can't have a successful pool day without some excitement. Consider getting pool basketball or pool volleyball, so that you and your friends can heat things up with a little competition. It's fun for every age and it definitely will ensure your pool day is a blast! Other accessories could include: foam noodles, inflatables, etc. Pool Shoe Remember to pack pool shoes—shoes that can either get wet or some flip-flops that slip on and off easily. No one wants to have to slip on socks and lace-up shoes at the end of the day, especially when feet are wet. Check this list and check it twice before you head off to the pool this summer to make sure you have everything you need for a stress-free day!

As winter turns to spring, our thoughts drift to wonderful warm days of summer. The long days, the barbecues, the smell of freshly mown grass are soon to come, but most importantly, it will be time to open your pool. Whether you use your home pool for exercise, relaxation, or to be the center of the neighborhood, you need to accessorize your pool for maximum enjoyment. So, what are the must-have items for your backyard pool in 2019? Wireless Waterproof Floating Speakers You can't have a party without music. The hottest trend in technology for your pool is floating speakers that are wireless and waterproof. Just put them in your pool and control the music flow with your phone, tablet or laptop. Floating speakers allow you to enjoy your tunes at a reasonable distance, so you don't have to crank up your in-home system and bother the neighbors. Models are available that connect to your home Wi-Fi or via Bluetooth. Pool Basketball With a  pool basketball hoop, you can play horse or take on the neighbors. There are myriads of hoop styles to fit the type of pool you own. If you have an above ground pool, look for backboards that will mount on the side of the pool. If you have an in-ground pool, find a set that is freestanding and place it on your deck. For added security, get a mountable backboard and affix it to your deck, or the concrete pad around your pool. Free-floating hoops are also available, which can be used in any pool and you can take it with you to the lake, the beach, or a friend’s pool for fun on the go. Pool Volleyball Whether its two on two or a whole group playing, pool volleyball is the perfect mix of frivolity and exercise. Learn to set spikes and get that last dig while staying cool in the pool. Like basketball sets, there are plenty of mounting options for the net depending on the style of pool you own. Most are easy to put up or take down, so you can go from swimming to spiking in no time. Combo Sports Units Can't decide whether you'd prefer a basketball hoop or a volleyball net? Don't! Get yourself a  combo unit with both games. Now you can seamlessly transition from the top of the net to the top of the key, while still your pool. Summer is just around the corner so don't wait to pick up some or all these accessories. Then you can have fun in the sun all season long.

There are so many great reasons to love summer. The weather is great, school is out, and most people do not mind getting outside and enjoying it. The only draw back to most summer activities is that it can get so hot you are just miserable and want to head back inside where the AC will protect you from the heat or take a dunk in the pool. If you hate choosing between fun sports activities and staying cool, then pool sports such as basketball is the solution. What is Pool Basketball? Pool basketball is literally the best of both worlds for summer fun. With a quality pool basketball hoop, your backyard pool can become a fun family battle ground for endless days of summer fun. The  pool basketball hoops from Dunn-Rite products are strong, durable and able to withstand even the most serious basketball showdowns. Pool basketball hoops come in a few different varieties. Floating Aqua Hoops are simple pool toys which you can easily add to your pool. These toys allow players to move around the pool with the hoop and make shots from anywhere. This is great for low key playtime, especially for smaller kids. If you want to take your pool basketball to a more serious level, there are heavy duty hoops which can be placed at the deep end of your pool. These can come in both mounted or unmounted styles. Mounted styles offer the best in durability, while unmounted allow the flexibility of moving the hoop when you wish. How to Play Pool Basketball Obviously, you can have a ton of fun just shooting hoops and making up your own rules as you go, but if you are interested in hosting some serious games with a bigger group, there are official rules to pool basketball, in fact this sport has been added to many collegiate line ups at colleges across America. The following water basketball rules were taken from the student recreation information of the University of Arkansas. There should be 5 players per team, with only 4 in the water. This is a great number for most neighborhood games, or even large family get togethers. Players are required, in official pool basketball, to remain inside an inner tube flotation device at all times. If you don’t want to follow the official rules, obviously you don’t have to, but the flotation devices make the game a bit more challenging, not to mention it really intensifies the work out you are getting. Each team is only allowed 3 fouls. If your team exceeds the fouls, then the other team begins accumulating points for each foul. The rules of play are very similar to that of court basketball except that free throws and 3-point shots are not allowed. Out of bounds is considered the edge of the pool. If the ball goes beyond the edge of the pool it will be considered out of bounds. There are violations in pool basketball just as there are in court ball, however the violations are quite different. Players are not allowed to exit their inner tubes. Any action which takes place outside of the inner tube is obsolete. Players are not allowed to push off the sides of the pool to give themselves momentum or advantage. The ball cannot be submerged in an effort to keep it away from another player. Players cannot jostle other players by grabbing their inner tube. Players may not push, shove or hold anyone under water. Any of these actions result in a personal foul. Water basketball is just one of the many fun pool sports you can incorporate into your family’s pool time this summer. Having a pool is great but having a pool that doubles as a family rec center, is even better. Dunn-Rite Pool Products has everything you need to turn your pool into the go to spot for family fun and exercise.
