Despite what some people think a swimming pool is a lot more than just a container filled with water. Often times it is only when someone becomes the owner of a swimming pool that they begin to understand what owning a swimming pool really entails. Among the things that separate an ordinary swimming pool from a great swimming pool are the swimming pool accessories. They play an important role, and contribute immensely to the degree of pleasure derived from your swimming pool experience.
One of the most basic of swimming pool accessories you should have, as an owner of a swimming pool, is a swimming pool cleaner. The cost of hiring a swimming pool cleaning service may be prohibitive and if the pool is a small one it may not warrant the expense for so minor a task. There are basically three types of pool cleaners to choose from, suction cleaners, pressure cleaners, and robotic cleaners. Depending on the swimming pool size each cleaner carries its own set of advantages, including speed, ease of operation, efficiency and being economical.

At all times where swimming activities take place the issue of safety should be a concern. With this in mind pool handrails and ladders are considered vital swimming pool accessories and come in handy for entering and exiting swimming pools. These particular swimming pool accessories are now being constructed from stainless steel therefore eliminate occurrences of corrosion and rust, guaranteeing many years of use.
Another swimming pool accessory that has to do with safety is pool lighting. You’ll find that you won’t only want to use your pool during the daylight hours. Sometimes after work and chores are done a night swim may be in order. It is recommended to have lights not only in your pool but illuminating the outside path as well. Landscape lighting is just as important to help prevent any unfortunate accidents from happening. Learn more about lighting safety in our blog post, "Tips for Using Pool Lighting for Safety."
Unfortunately, we don’t all have the good fortune of having warm weather all year round and even in places that do the temperature of the water in the swimming pool may be too low for swimming in comfort at times. Investing in a swimming pool heater if a great solution to keeping your pool water swimmable all year long. Swimming pool heaters use either gas (natural or propane) or electricty to heat the water before returning it back to the pool. If you need help trying to decide how to choose a pool heater read our blog post, "How to Choose the Right Pool Heater."

On the list of basic swimming pool supplies one should also add pool filters. To keep the water clean it is pumped through a filter, which will remove contaminants. These filters can be one of three types, cartridge filters, diatomaceous earth (DE) filters, or sand filters. It is interesting to note that while the DE filters are believed to be the most effective the title of most popular goes to the cartridge filter. We have a blog post to help you choose the best pool filter for you, "Which Pool Filter is Best for my Swimming Pool."
While by no means exhaustive, the swimming pool accessories mentioned above are considered to be among the must haves for all swimming pool owners. If you have questions about the pool supplies you might need for your pool, give us a call at (888) 836-6025.
