Signs You May Need to Replace Your Swimming Pool

If you’re continuing to have problems with your swimming pool, it might be time to replace it. There are some warning signs of a deeper issue that you can look for. Check out the following section to learn about them. 

Weather Events

In the summer, the hot weather heats up the ground, which can cause the pool’s foundation to shift. During hurricane season, the amount of rain and strong winds can cause the pool to become unstable. While a pool cover is great at keeping debris out, it will not prevent damage forever. After any type of weather event, it’s important to contact a pool contractor to assess the pool's integrity and check for damage.

Discolored Pool Liner

While a discolored pool liner may be an indication that you’re using the wrong type of chemical, that’s not always the case. A liner that’s covered in algae is a sign that it’s lost its integrity. If you’re noticing any of these issues, it’s time to look into getting your pool replaced. A professional pool contractor will be able to inspect the issues and determine whether or not a complete replacement is necessary. 

Physical Damage

Any type of crack in the pool wall or tear in the liner should be addressed immediately. While the pool may be holding water, it is not stable enough. If caught soon enough, a pool contractor may be able to caulk and reseal the pool to prevent it from leaking. In cases of severe damage, it may not be repairable, meaning you will have to replace the entire pool.
