People can't deny how technology has been conquering homes these days. A lot of families are investing in everything "smart" to live conveniently. And, it's not just the doors and the cleaning tools. Today, even swimming pools are customized to keep up with the world's innovations.

 

Do you want to modify your backyard haven for the hot summer days? Learn about some of the latest technologies you can incorporate into your swimming pool.

Ultraviolet Magic

It's a dream come true for people to enjoy a dip in the pool without the stinging red eyes, dry skin, and other issues from chemical-laden water. That can turn into a reality today thanks to a special form of oxygen called ozone (O).

 

O is used in Olympic pools and top resorts in the country. Some even pair it with ultraviolet (UV) sanitizing light, making it more effective. Industry experts say that UV acts as a germicidal agent that eliminates harmful microbes like bacteria, viruses, cysts, algae, and even Crypto, a type of chlorine-resistant pathogen. It helps ensure that the water is fresh and swim-ready without the harsh loads of chlorine.

Self-Activated Clean

As a child, or maybe until now, you'd use that long, handy net to remove leaves and other debris in your pool. But, an advancement is well on its way and is a real time saver.

 

The latest innovation in cleaning systems is an "in-floor" unit. It's a low-profile fixture that automatically pops to take the debris away like how a vacuum does to dust. It performs its job on its own once it's in the water; all it needs is a power source. Some variants have an internally charged battery and can go wireless. These robotic cleaners have programmable timers, meaning you can set them up and leave them to finish their task.

Dancing Lights

Most homeowners are also concerned about the overall design of their pools. Lucky for them, light-emitting diode (LED) systems are available in various shades that create visual effects on the area. With their energy efficiency, long lifespan, and superior brightness, LED fixtures are becoming popular with consumers.

 

LED brings a whole other dimension of design to swimming pools. It displays a superb rainbow of hues, which you can customize to create a certain scheme. The device can also be installed on the sides or underwater to form a multicolored effect. You can preset this fixture and make it seem like the lights are dancing during the night.

 

Most swimming pools today are pre-built with these fixtures in mind, but they can be added if you already have an existing one. They can also be connected to your home's smart system, so accessing them is just one click away. Just remember to consult a landscaper, designer, and professional Atlanta pool builder as installing the items above needs their expertise.
