I love to rebuild/add stairs to access the pool area. Maximizing the space... making sure we meet code... so many things to keep in mind, but so much fun.

*REMEMBER if you have have an autocover GATES MUST OPEN OUT!!!!

The Dos and Don'ts of Pool Holiday Decor

Do: Add floating candles to the water

Floating candles are a great way to add some ambiance to your holiday party without harming your pool or its filtration system. These candles float on your pool’s surface and burn safely as the wax will not overflow or drip into your pool. They burn until the bottom of the candle gets thin and the water then seeps inside to extinguish the flames, making cleaning up a breeze. [Cut your pump off when you have the decoration in the pool to prevent decor collecting at the skimmer. Remember to cut your pump back on immediately after the party.]

Do: Throw in some festive pool floats

Inflatable decorations are a fun and easy way to transform your pool into a winter wonderland. Try floating Christmas trees, ornaments, snowmen, or Santa himself! Just make sure you aren’t floating candles and pool floats together at once.

Do: Set your swimming pool lights to the color of your choosing

Adding colored lighting to your pool creates an aesthetically pleasing element beyond plain white bulbs. Set your lights to red and green, or blues for a winter wonderland.

Don’t: Decorate with balloons

While balloons are a go-to party décor item, leave them outside of your pool at all costs. Floating balloons may look beautiful, but the clean-up will leave a mess to remember. Homeowners can risk the balloons popping in the pool and later getting stuck in the suction lines.

Don’t: Leave your pool vacuum on

Pool vacuums are a popular item for owners to maintain pool cleanliness. They are also often kept in the pool at all times when they should really be taken out to reduce wear and tear. Don’t forget to remove your pool vacuum when decorating, so it doesn’t tangle with any of the decorations or suck them up on accident.
