The Benefits of an Indoor Pool

 

We may live in a country that boasts long hot summers and endless blue skies, but that shouldn’t limit our swimming pool options to exclusively outdoor set ups. We still do, after all, have relatively cold winters, and in parts of Australia very stormy, wet summers.

Beyond the obvious climatic benefits of having a pool inside, indoor swimming pools also have a number of maintenance benefits. Indoor pools can be just as beautifully designed as their outdoor counterparts, and can draw on sliding doors and lovely views to retain the outdoor beauty.

Here is an overview of why indoor swimming pools can be a great alternative to the classic outdoor pool:

1. Indoor pools can be used year round. While heaters can be installed to keep outdoor pools at a workable temperature during the cooler months, the outside temperature and conditions are often not conducive to swimming and so pools go largely unused for almost 6 months a year. Indoor pools heat more efficiently, but also ensure that swimmers are kept warm before and after their swim.
    
2. Indoor pools are great for exercise and therapeutic use during winter, and are especially good for relaxing after hard workouts. Do not forget to consider pools lights for your indoor swimming pool to enhance the relaxation atmosphere and surrounding in the pool area, for example charming floating pool lights.
    
3. While it is generally better to design the room and the pool that will lie within it from scratch, clever designers and builders can work with pre-existing indoor spaces to create indoor pool areas. They can also help to gain building approvals and ensure that any heating and cleaning systems are in place, so you don’t necessarily need a bit backyard or enough room for significant indoor expansion.
   
   
4. The humidity created by indoor pools is often a concern, and a reason many don’t consider indoor pools an option. To mitigate this, you can install a de-humidifier. You could also install an automated pool cover to keep humidity at bay.
   
   
5. Perhaps the greatest benefit of an indoor pool is the minimal maintenance. Having a pool inside rather than out means your pool isn’t at the mercy of nature. As a result you won’t have to deal with frustrating natural contaminants including leaves and other plant debris. This doesn’t, however, mean that you won’t have to maintain an indoor pool at all. You will still need to get your kreepy krauly to keep your indoor pool clean and shiny. Indoor dust will eventually become a problem for your pool if not dealt with; automated in-pool cleaning systems usually work to combat this though. While treating your pool chemically is still necessary to keep the water quality at its best, you won’t require as much chorine as there aren’t any UV rays to break it down.

 

Thus, having an indoor swimming pool eliminates the need in many maintenance activities you would have to be regularly engaged otherwise. For example pool winteriser is one of the outdoor pools requirements when colder season arrives.

However whether it is an indoor or outdoor pool, the cleaning equipment should not be better or worse. You would want to take the best care of your swimming pool wherever it is placed. Barracuda pool cleaners, Zodiac pool cleaner, Polaris pool cleaner or any other high quality products will suit any type or size swimming pool.

 

You simply need to find the most suitable for your indoor swimming pool.
