Let us guess - you couldn’t take it anymore. Just the idea of calling in friends to help you pull the giant, heavy tarp-like winter cover off the pool in the spring made you almost put off opening your pool another week. Even if you have a more durable version, such as a mesh or solid security pool cover, putting them on and taking them off is difficult. Too difficult to do it frequently enough to keep the pool clean and warm.

You knew it was coming. You tried to put it out of your mind. Maybe one more year, you hopefully thought. But as last year’s summer came to a close, you knew that resurfacing your pool was inevitable. Resurfacing an inground pool is a regular and necessary maintenance task for most pool owners. The plus side is that it will improve your swimming experience, and it can also extend the pool’s lifespan. The downside is that the cost can be...a lot.

Keeping your pool clean is extremely important, but, let’s face it, it’s also a chore. Since we at River Pools are in the business of manufacturing and installing fiberglass pools, we know first hand how much work caring for a swimming pool can be. Most people have one swimming pool in their yard...we have four. Luckily, there are a few robots that can help out.

We’ve all been through a lot over the last couple of weeks. Spring and summer travel plans have been put off indefinitely, weddings have been postponed, events canceled. Recently, more and more customers have come to us and said that, instead of traveling, they've decided that this year they'll stay home and do a "staycation" (stay-cation).

It’s official - the CDC has stated that there is no evidence that the new coronavirus can be spread through swimming pools and spas. We wanted to make this clear because even over the last week, as we’ve been chatting with homeowners about a swimming pool, this is a question that has already started to come up in conversations. With so little understanding of the virus currently in the world, we wanted to at least clarify any concerns regarding coronavirus and swimming pools.

In frank terms, the coronavirus isn’t a good thing. Nor is it something any of us are excited about. Its impact on individual health, as well as the world economy, is indeed a tough pill to swallow. Over the past week, many of our swimming pool dealers around the country have asked us what this virus might mean for swimming pools in 2020 and beyond.
