Solar Heat For Your Pool
Having solar heat would be the best and cheapest option would it not? In an ideal world, it probably would be, however we live in Winnipeg and our climate varies a lot from season to season. Solar systems are prone to leaks from frost, roof damage from leaking water, cooling your pool down at night if the diverter valve is not shut off, and shortened swimming season dependant on the sun.

Old Pool Coping And New Styles
New coping styles vs older styles. Older styles on coping are usually obsolete and parts are not available anymore. This can be a problem when trying to fix your existing coping. Repairs to coping do not hold up in our harsh Manitoba climate and usually make replacement the only viable option. Older styles of coping are usually plastic. The downside of plastic coping is that it shrinks. The hot summer suns in Winnipeg heat up and expand your plastic pool coping. Winter time comes along with the cooler weather and now you have gaps between your coping. Sometimes plastic coping is still the best option as with 6” patio coping. Our new Vastec coping had a powder coated aluminum base with a PVC white plastic top cap. Any shrinkage between the joints is camouflaged by the white aluminum base.

Considering Renovating Your Swimming Pool
When your pool needs a facelift there are a lot of options to consider. New walk in pool steps, new concrete style and maybe colored or decorative concrete, new pool equipment, new LED pool lighting, or water features may be at the top of your list. These are all option and certainly make your pool look great. If you are after a new look but without all the extra upgrades then a basic pool reno will certainly make your pool look brand new. Replacing your coping, concrete pool deck, skimmer, jets and pool liner are the necessary items that should be replaced. Read more about Considering Renovating Your Swimming Pool
Pool Wall Sunk Or Pushed In
Vinyl lined pools have steel galvanized pool walls 98% of the time. These steel pool walls are supported by “A” frames or “X” bracing at the back of the panels to support them and keep the straight. These types of pools are also designed to always be full of water which helps support the walls outward. The steel pool walls are also supported by a concrete footing that locks the walls in place and forms one continuous unit instead of having individual panel segments making everything stronger.

Pool Liner Coming Out of Coping
Quite often in spring time we receive call about liners that have fallen out of the coping and slid down the pool wall. This is caused from the liner lifting and releasing tension on the bead of the liner which enables it to pop out of the coping or receiver track. For the liners tension to be released means that your liner has to lift, and this is caused from water getting under your vinyl liner. Water can get underneath your liner through a hole in your liner or from the ground and around your pool which is usually runoff water being trapped. Read more about Pool Liner Coming Out of Coping
Common Pool Mistakes
We often receive calls from customers who have lost a lot of pool water are not sure why. We have seen the filter accidently left on waste or backwash and the result is a lot of water pumped down the sewer fast. The water level ends up being low in the pool and sometimes the pump end up starving for water. We have also seen holes in pool liners from the end of the vacuum pole if there is no vacuum head or leaf net attached. The open end of the aluminum pole can stab the liner fairly easily.
