Finding the Perfect Swimming Pool Accessories

If you want to make the most of your mew swimming pool, make sure you have all the right swimming pool accessories.

Bikini – check. Poolside flip flops – check. A chilled cocktail complete with umbrella – double check! It seems like you’ve got everything when you’ve got your own swimming pool in your back garden. Absolute paradise - and when you have paradise, colourful beverages and a pair of sunglasses are all the swimming pool accessories that you need. But if you want to maximise your poolside experience, you need to think beyond alcohol and fashion. 

Swimming Pool Accessories

Okay, so let’s talk inflatable toys, balloons, rafts, floating loungers, drinks holders and anything that screams “pool party!” But when the barbeques are over, and the guests have all gone (having left wet footprints all over the house), it’s time to think about maintenance. Have you got thought about the right swimming pool accessories? Here is a list of all the things you may need to think about before getting carried away with the fun:

• Swimming pool chemicals – the most important swimming accessories you need are tablets and chemical solutions. Chemicals help to keep your water at the right PH balance and this ensures that it is a safe environment for swimmers. It also helps to maintain the life and quality of your pool, keeping everything in tip top condition. You can buy chemicals in tablet form, including chlorine and bromine.
• Cleaners and sanitizers – whether you choose tablets or granules, you need to think about sanitizing the pool before you use the pool. Make sure you create a safe place for you, your family and your guests to swim in.
• Algae controllers – this is one of the most useful swimming pool accessories you can own to keep everything in working condition throughout the year. Once your swimming pool’s installed, it’s there to stay. So even when summer’s over, you still have to take good care of it. Algae controllers can help to eliminate algae problems across the seasons. 
• Winter maintenance kits – British weather means a short summer and a long winter. Using winter care products can keep your pool clean during the bitter months and give you an easy start-up when the flowers start to blossom.
• Cleaning tools – not the most glamorous of swimming pool accessories, but you really can’t go without. Make sure you have all the right swimming pool accessories including cleaning poles, cleaning pastes, scoops and leaf eaters.
