But families change. Kids begin their college educations or adult careers, new additions are welcomed, and in-laws in their golden years join the household. For most new pool owners, families are growing. Will a vinyl liner pool still be right for your growing family a few years down the road?

Choosing the perfect pool for your family is an important decision. At Goodall Pools & Spas, we’ve seen the joy a pool can bring to families, and we believe a vinyl liner pool might just be the perfect match for your expanding clan. Let us share what we’ve learned about how a vinyl liner pool can fit your family for decades to come.

Vinyl Liner Pool Versatility and Variety

One of the standout features of a vinyl liner pool is its versatility. Whether your family loves splashy pool games, relaxing swims, or imaginative underwater adventures, these pools can accommodate it all. 

With a wide range of shapes and sizes, from classic rectangles to freeform designs, there’s a vinyl liner pool to fit every family’s style and backyard space. Vinyl liner pools offer a range of colors and patterns, as well. The liner’s vibrant hues and patterns, from classic blue to jade and earthy tan, add a personal touch to your pool, making it a true extension of your home’s personality.

Swimming Pool Customization at Its Best

Imagine a pool with a tanning ledge for sun-soaked afternoons, a custom staircase for easy access, or bubbling water features for a touch of elegance. With a vinyl liner pool, these dreams can become a reality. 

The flexible nature of the liner allows for unique structural elements that cater to your family’s needs and desires. The vinyl customization options are endless, whether it’s a shallow area for the little ones or a cascading waterfall for the perfect backyard ambiance.

Quick Setup for Endless Fun

We know families are busy, and waiting for a pool to be built can feel like an eternity for eager swimmers. The good news? Vinyl liner pools boast a shorter construction timeline than other types. 

Once your pool build begins, your backyard can transform into a water-filled wonderland, ready for cannonballs and pool parties in a matter of weeks. This means more time for fun and less time waiting—a win-win for any growing family!

Budget-Friendly Bliss

Planning for a family’s future often means keeping an eye on the budget. 

Vinyl liner pools are known for their affordability, offering a cost-effective option for families looking to make a splash without breaking the bank.

The initial investment leaves room for other backyard enhancements or family adventures, making it a smart choice for budget-conscious households.

Family-Friendly Durability

Let’s face it, families can be tough on pools! From raucous pool games to the occasional pool toy mishap, your pool needs to withstand the rigors of family life. 

Vinyl liner pools are up to the task, with heavy-duty liners designed to handle rigorous use. And while the liner may need replacing every 10 to 15 years, this gives you the opportunity to refresh and update your pool’s look, keeping it as vibrant and inviting as your family.

Making the Right Splash

Choosing the right pool for your growing family is a big decision, but it doesn’t have to be a daunting one. With a vinyl liner pool, you can enjoy a versatile, customizable, and budget-friendly option that brings endless joy and creates lasting memories for everyone in the family.

Crystal Clear Swimming Pool Water All Summer? Yes! https://goodallpools.com/crystal-clear-swimming-pool/ Mon, 01 Apr 2024 12:00:00 +0000 https://goodallpools.com/?p=7540 Swimming pool chemicals and careful pool cleaning are not anyone’s favorite, but they are necessary for keeping your swimming pool crystal clear and crisp. But can water perfection really be achieved and maintained all summer long? The answer is yes.

At Goodall Pools & Spas, we believe that your swimming pool should be a vital centerpiece for gathering, relaxing, and enjoying time with friends and family rather than a source of endless maintenance woes. So, how do we ensure that your pool remains crystal clear all summer long? We do that in a few different ways. Let’s take a journey together to find out how.

The Delicate Balance of Pool Chemicals

The foundation of a flawless swimming pool experience lies in the delicate balance of water chemistry. Pool maintenance is not just about splashing in some chlorine and calling it a day. It involves a carefully crafted combination of chemicals, each playing an important role. 

There is chlorine’s bacteria-busting power and sodium carbonate’s pH-perfecting prowess, as well as the unsung hero of the pool world: algaecide. This weekly warrior is your best defense against the green invaders that thrive in the summer heat. With our BioGuard® pool chemicals, you can rest assured that your pool is in the best hands. There is a formula for each pool and climate, and at Goodall Pools & Spas, we know how to find that formula.

Our skilled technicians can swiftly swap out your old liner for a fresh one, ensuring your pool is ready for another decade-plus of splendor. Consider this the perfect opportunity to dive into additional upgrades, like a chic pool deck overlay or modern lighting.

Sustainable Solutions: Eco-Friendly Pool Renovation

Embrace sustainability with eco-friendly pool renovations that enhance your swimming experience and contribute to a healthier environment.

Safety First: Pool Renovations for Peace of Mind

Safety is paramount in any pool renovation project. Modernize your pool with the latest safety features to ensure a safe swimming experience for you and your family. 

Installing anti-slip surfaces around the pool deck can prevent accidents, while pool alarms and safety covers add an extra layer of protection. Let us help you create a safe and inviting oasis for everyone to enjoy.

8 Easy Steps for Drain and Fill Hot Tub Maintenance https://goodallpools.com/8-steps-drain-fill-hot-tub-maintenance/ Mon, 18 Mar 2024 12:00:00 +0000 https://goodallpools.com/?p=7476 Spa and hot tub maintenance can be intimidating. But it doesn’t need to be. With over sixty years of experience, Goodall Pools & Spas has mastered the art of hot tub maintenance, and we want to help you keep your hot tub or spa pristine. 

Whether you’re a proud owner of a Sundance® Spas or Viking SpasTM hot tub, routinely draining and filling will be a key part of your regular hot tub maintenance.

Hot Tub Maintenance: Testing the Waters

Before we begin our step-by-step guide to draining and filling your spa, we want to reinforce the importance of routine water testing in hot tub maintenance.

Use test strips or a digital tester to check the pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer levels. The ideal pH level should be between 7.4 and 7.6, and alkalinity should be between 100 and 150 ppm. Adjust as needed with hot tub chemicals to ensure a balanced and bacteria-free soak.

8 Easy Steps for Drain and Fill Hot Tub Maintenance

Preparation Is Key: Gather Hot Tub Maintenance Gear

To drain and fill your hot tub, you’ll need a garden hose, a submersible pump (for the speedy soakers), and your trusty hot tub chemicals. Visit one of our five Pennsylvania locations to stock up on chemicals and other supplies.

Step One: Start with a Purge to Cleanse the Plumbing

Kick things off with a spa purge, evicting any unwelcome biofilm from your hot tub’s plumbing. 

Add the purge product, let it party in the pipes for the recommended time, and watch as it works its magic. 

Step Two: Power Down

It can be very dangerous to overlook powering down your hot tub or spa. Safety first, always! Ensure your hot tub is unplugged and power-free. 

Step Three: Hose Hookup and Water Flow for Efficient Draining

Attach your garden hose to the drain valve, directing it to a suitable spot for water disposal. Remember, this is a farewell party for the old water. 

Make sure that water will be drained out conscientiously. Watch for foot traffic areas, neighbors’ property, and make sure the discarded water won’t gather near your home’s foundation. 

Step Four: Valve Victory and Water Evacuation

Open the drain valve and let the water flow (for those in a hurry, a submersible pump can make this step a breeze). Say goodbye to the old and get ready for the new.

Step Five: Shell Shine with a Thorough Hot Tub Cleaning

With the tub empty, it’s time for a shell shine. Use a gentle, non-abrasive cleaner designed for spas to scrub away any residue. Rinse well to ensure a spotless spa.

Step Six: Seal the Deal by Closing the Drain Valve

Before you refill your nice, clean hot tub, double-check that the drain valve is closed securely. You don’t want any surprise leaks!

Step Seven: Fill Your Hot Tub with Fresh, Clean Water

Using a clean hose, fill your hot tub with fresh water. Keep an eye out for any debris or unwanted guests like leaves, twigs, acorns, and other things.

Step Eight: Hot Tub Maintenance for Perfect Water Balance

Now for the grand finale – balancing your hot tub’s water chemistry. 

Test the water and adjust the pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer levels. Your hot tub is now primed for peak performance and pure pleasure.

Maintaining the Magic: Regular Hot Tub Care

Regular maintenance is the secret to endless enjoyment. 

Keep your hot tub’s water sparkling with routine checks and balances. And if you ever need a hand, our hot tub service team is ready to assist. We also offer regular hot tub maintenance packages for your hot tub or spa.

So there you have it, water wizards – eight easy steps to drain and fill your hot tub. With Goodall Pools & Spas by your side, you’re set for a lifetime of leisure and laughter. 

Ready to make a splash? Reach out online or visit one of our stores today and let’s talk about hot tub maintenance and how to keep your family’s backyard gathering place as perfect as it can be.

From Fitness to Relaxation: 8 Swim Spa Benefits You’ll Adore https://goodallpools.com/8-swim-spa-benefits-youll-adore/ Mon, 11 Mar 2024 12:00:00 +0000 https://goodallpools.com/?p=7465 What is a swim spa? A hot tub? A swimming pool? The best of both? At Goodall Pools & Spas, you’ll have the answers you need to make the best decision for your home.

What Is a Swim Spa?

Imagine all of a pool’s fitness benefits combined with a hot tub’s relaxation in one compact unit. 

A swim spa allows you to swim against a continuous current for a workout and then unwind with heated water and massage jets, like in a hot tub. These spas are versatile, convenient, and becoming more and more popular. 

At Goodall Pools & Spas, we’re passionate about bringing you the best in aquatic leisure, and our Hydropool swim spas are no exception. Let’s dive into eight fabulous benefits of owning a swim spa you will adore.

A Pool of Swim Spa Possibilities

Imagine having a personal aquatic center right in your backyard. A swim spa combines the benefits of a swimming pool and a hot tub, offering endless opportunities for exercise, relaxation, and family fun. Whether you’re a fitness enthusiast or seeking a serene escape, a swim spa caters to all your aquatic desires.

From Fitness to Relaxation: 8 Swim Spa Benefits You'll Adore

Year-Round Enjoyment

One of the most enticing aspects of a swim spa is its year-round accessibility. Come rain or shine, drizzle or sizzle, your swim spa awaits, ready to embrace you in its warm, welcoming waters. With temperature control at your fingertips, every season is swim season.

Swim Spa Health Benefits

A swim spa is a game-changer for those seeking a healthier lifestyle where health benefits abound. 

The resistance of the water provides a low-impact, high-intensity workout, perfect for all fitness levels. Swim against the current, engage in aquatic exercises, or simply tread water – the possibilities for increasing your wellness are boundless.

Stress-Buster Supreme

In today’s fast-paced world, trying to find time for relaxation and decompression can be difficult. A swim spa is your personal stress-buster, offering a tranquil retreat where you can unwind and let the soothing jets massage away your worries. It’s like having a spa day, every day. 

From Fitness to Relaxation: 8 Swim Spa Benefits You'll Adore

A swim spa is a compact marvel that fits snugly in smaller backyards or even indoors. You get all the benefits of a pool without sacrificing precious real estate. 

Don’t be mistaken, though. A swim spa is not the big brother of a hot tub. We offer Hydropool models that seat up to nine bathers!

Family Fun Factory

A Hydropool swim spa is a hit with the whole family.  It’s a safe, enjoyable space for kids to splash and play, while adults can relax or join in the fun. It’s a fantastic way to spend quality time together, creating cherished memories.

Therapeutic Touch

Professional Pool Opening vs. DIY: What’s Best for You? https://goodallpools.com/professional-pool-opening-vs-diy/ Mon, 04 Mar 2024 12:00:00 +0000 https://goodallpools.com/?p=7458 Spring is in the air, and that means one thing for pool owners: it’s time to think about pool opening! 

But here’s the million-dollar question: should you roll up your sleeves and do it yourself, or should you call in the pros? We’ve seen it all at Goodall Pools & Spas, and we’re here to dive into the nitty-gritty of DIY vs. professional pool opening.

The DIY Pool Opening Dive

There’s a certain charm in doing things yourself. You get to bask in the glory of a job well done, not to mention the potential savings. But before you dive headfirst into DIY pool opening, let’s consider what it entails.

First, you’ll need the right pool chemicals to get your water sparkling clean. This means testing your water and balancing the pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer levels. 

Then there’s the physical labor — removing the cover, cleaning it, and getting all the winter gunk out of your pool. It’s not rocket science, but it does require time, effort, and a good portion of elbow grease. And if your water is green from algae, it could take quite a bit of time and attention.

The Polish of Professional Pool Opening

Now, let’s talk about bringing in the big guns. 

Hiring a professional pool opening service means you can kick back, relax, and leave the heavy lifting to the experts. The Goodall Pools & Spas team has the know-how and tools to get your pool ready in no time.

We’ll handle everything from removing the cover to installing ladders and handrails and getting your equipment up and running. And if we spot any issues, like a leak or a faulty pump, we know how to fix those too. It’s a hassle-free way to ensure your pool is in tip-top shape for the season.

Professional Pool Opening vs. DIY: What's Best for You?

The Professional Pool-Opening Cost Conundrum

One of the biggest factors in the DIY vs. professional debate is cost. 

Of course, doing it yourself can save you some bucks upfront. But consider this: if you make a mistake with the chemicals or miss an important step, you could end up with bigger problems down the line. And those problems usually come with a heftier price tag.

On the other hand, hiring a professional pool company might cost more initially, but you’re paying for peace of mind. Plus, with regular pool service, you can keep your pool in pristine condition all season long, which can save you money in the long run.

Professional Pool Opening vs. DIY: What's Best for You?

The Pool Opening Verdict

You could cut your own hair, but you use a local professional for that. What about your own plumbing, your own electric work, or fixing your own car? 

Most people leave those things to the professionals as well. Of course, opening your pool doesn’t have the same complexity and sophistication as those examples, but shouldn’t your family’s backyard gathering place get the same consideration? 

So, what’s best for you? If you’re a hands-on person with time to spare and a knack for following instructions, DIY pool opening might be right up your alley. But if you’d rather not deal with the hassle and you want to ensure that your pool is opened correctly, professional pool opening is the way to go.

Goodall Pools & Spas has been a fixture in Central Pennsylvania for parts of seven decades and counting and has grown to include five retail stores and a dedicated service location

We offer top-quality pool and hot tub products paired with family-friendly service. We specialize in custom pool building, hot tubs, swim spas, and a wide range of pool and spa accessories, including BioGuard® chemicals.

Whether you choose to go the DIY route or opt for our professional services, we’ve got all the pool chemicals, equipment, and expertise you need. So reach out to us today, and let’s get your pool ready!

Professional hot tub maintenance provides regular checks and balances by our team in order to keep your tub operating at peak efficiency, preventing the power draw from boiling over. 

This means enjoying your bubbles while controlling energy expenses.

Seamless Soaks Sans Surprises

Unexpected issues can put a damper on your dip, and if they go unchecked for too long it can be expensive and inconvenient to correct them.

Professional maintenance helps catch the cunning culprits of spa troubles before they escalate. You want your hot tub time to remain a respite, not a reason for repair.

Tailored Treatments for Top-Notch Tubs

Every hot tub is a unique universe of relaxation, and our service savants understand this. 

We don’t just maintain; we mastermind a maintenance plan that matches up with your model’s specific needs, whether it’s a Sundance® Spas model, Viking Spas™ hot tub, or a Hydropool swim spa.

Our Hydropool swim spas stand as beacons of bliss during the bleaker months, proving time and again that they’re more than mere luxuries—they’re necessities, especially during the crippling cold. Here’s why owning a Hydropool swim spa this winter isn’t just a good idea; it should be a plan.

The Warm Embrace of a Swim Spa on Wintry Days

As the mercury dips and the landscape dons its snowy shroud, a swim spa offers a warm escape.

Imagine the steam rising in graceful plumes as you slip into the soothing, heated waters—a stark, stunning contrast to the chill air. This is the heart of Hydropool magic: a warm haven amidst the frost.

Year-Round Fitness in Your Swim Spa

Why let winter weather wreak havoc on your workout routine? With a swim spa, the seasons cease to dictate your fitness regime. 

The powerful currents of a Hydropool spa provide perfect, adjustable resistance for swimming, aqua jogging, or even water aerobics, turning the tide on winter’s attempt to freeze your fitness goals.

Stress Relief in Your Swim Spa

There’s something undeniably serene about watching snowflakes drift down from the comfort of warm, swirling waters. 

A swim spa serves as your personal sanctuary for stress relief, where the worries of the world melt away faster than snow on a sunny afternoon. Let the gentle massage jets of our Hydropool spas knead away knots of tension as you bask in blissful tranquility.

A Social Sphere in the Silence of Winter

When the cold confines us, a swim spa becomes a bubbling hub of gathering. 

Get together with friends and family for a dip in the delightful warmth of your spa, where laughter and conversation flow as freely as the waters. 

It’s a way to keep connections warm, even when the world outside is wrapped in winter’s white.

Enhanced Sleep with a Dip Per Day

A nighttime soak in your swim spa under a canopy of stars can usher in a sleep so profound you’ll awaken feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, ready to face the frosty mornings. The warm waters help to ease your body into a state of relaxation, promoting a deeper, more restorative night’s sleep—a gift from Hydropool that keeps on giving.

A Refuge for Recovery

For athletes and those dedicated to daily exercise, winter can often hinder recovery efforts due to the cold. A swim spa stands as a steadfast ally in your recovery regimen, offering a warm, buoyant environment where muscles relax, circulation improves, and healing hastens.
