Dive into the Future: Latest Pool Trends and Technologies

Summer is just around the corner, and what better way to beat the heat than with a refreshing dip in your own backyard oasis? At East Tennessee Pools and Spa, we’re not just about building pools; we’re about creating experiences. And to help you make the most of your pool, we’re diving deep into the latest trends and technologies, including popular pool materials, that are transforming the poolside experience.

Choosing the Right Foundation: Pool Materials Matter

Before we jump into the tech, let’s talk about the foundation of your pool: the materials. Choosing the right material is crucial for durability, aesthetics, and overall enjoyment. Here are some popular options:

•  Concrete (Gunite/Shotcrete): The classic choice, concrete pools offer unparalleled design flexibility. They can be shaped into virtually any form, allowing for custom features and unique designs. Concrete is also incredibly durable and long-lasting, making it a worthwhile investment.
•  Vinyl Liner: Vinyl liner pools are known for their smooth, comfortable surface and relatively lower upfront cost compared to concrete. Liners are available in various patterns and colors, allowing for some customization. While the liner will need replacing eventually, advancements in vinyl technology have increased their lifespan and durability.
•  Fiberglass: Fiberglass pools are pre-fabricated shells that are installed in the ground. They offer a smooth, non-porous surface that is easy to clean and maintain. Fiberglass pools are also known for their quick installation time. While design options are more limited than concrete, the ease of maintenance and sleek look make them a popular choice.

Smart Pools, Smarter Living:

Forget about fiddling with complicated timers and settings. The rise of smart pool technology allows you to control everything from your smartphone or tablet. Imagine adjusting the temperature, managing the lighting, controlling the jets, and even monitoring chemical levels, all from the palm of your hand. These systems offer unparalleled convenience and allow you to customize your pool experience with ease.

Saltwater Systems: A Gentler Approach to Clean:

Looking for a more natural and gentler alternative to traditional chlorine? Saltwater chlorination systems are gaining immense popularity. These systems convert salt into chlorine, providing a continuous and balanced sanitization, leaving your skin feeling softer and reducing that harsh chemical smell. It’s a more environmentally friendly and often more convenient option for pool owners.

Automated Cleaning: Say Goodbye to Scrubbing:

Nobody enjoys spending their precious time scrubbing the pool. Robotic pool cleaners are here to save the day! These ingenious devices navigate the pool floor, walls, and even steps, efficiently removing debris and keeping your pool sparkling clean. Invest in a robotic cleaner, and reclaim your weekend!

Enhanced Lighting: Setting the Mood:

Lighting plays a crucial role in creating the perfect poolside ambiance. LED lighting systems offer a wide range of colors and customizable settings, allowing you to transform your pool into a vibrant party zone or a tranquil oasis with the touch of a button. From underwater lights to perimeter lighting, the possibilities are endless.

Water Features: Adding a Touch of Elegance:

Waterfalls, fountains, and jets are more than just visually appealing; they add a soothing sound and create a dynamic water experience. Whether you’re looking for a dramatic centerpiece or a subtle touch of elegance, water features can elevate your pool to a whole new level.

Heating and Cooling: Extending the Season:

Don’t let the changing seasons limit your pool enjoyment. Pool heaters allow you to extend the swimming season into the cooler months, while pool chillers can provide relief during the hottest days of summer. Maintain your perfect pool temperature year-round.

Eco-Friendly Options: Sustainable Swimming:

As environmental consciousness grows, so does the demand for eco-friendly pool solutions. Variable-speed pumps, energy-efficient heaters, and solar pool covers are becoming increasingly popular. These options not only reduce your environmental footprint but also save you money on operating costs.
