Amazing Tips on Choosing the Perfect Swimming Pool Lighting
Let's dig your feet into some swimming pool light decor ideas that
will boost your pool game and leave your guests in awe!
The right lighting can transform your pool from a simple swimming hole to a stunning pool. Whether you want to create a relaxing ambiance for a midnight dip or a lively atmosphere for a pool party, there are endless possibilities to choose from. So, let's dig your feet into some swimming pool light decor ideas that will boost your pool game and leave your guests in awe!
Pattern
When it comes to installing pool lights, the decision should be based on your usage pattern. If you intend to use the pool during the day, a minimum number of lights around the border of the pool should suffice.
However, if you plan to use the pool at night, border lights are a must-have. In case you choose to close the pool at night, it's recommended to install a pool light around the patio to ensure safety and prevent people from accidentally falling into the pool.
Highlight
What complements makeup is lighting. Just like when you go to a makeup artist, they enhance your best facial features and correct any flaws, lighting can enhance the beauty of your surroundings. By adding light around your garden, it will highlight the hard work you've put into it. Similarly, lighting around the pool will showcase its water feature, and lights around the fountains will make them look stunning. Lighting up your pool can give it a luxurious, resort-like feel.
Color
Most people prefer a single-color light theme for their pool. If you choose to go with this popular choice, we suggest selecting colors that complement the items in your yard or patio. The light color should match your yard's aesthetics. However, if you enjoy using multiple colors, we recommend installing color-changing lights. One of the best things about having these lights is that you can adjust them according to your mood or the occasion. You can even create a custom light show.
Choose an automated system
Automated pool systems function efficiently when connected to a central hub that has Wi-Fi. Once connected, you can use your smartphone to control various features of your pool. This includes the pool pump, automated system, lighting, water features, and spa. With just one convenient interface, you can easily manage multiple aspects of your pool without any hassle.
The shape and color of your pool
A common issue people face during the installation of swimming pool lights is that the products that work for rectangular pools may not work for circular pools. Therefore, it is essential to seek advice from an experienced swimming pool contractor to determine the appropriate solution for your specific case.
No construction required
If you already have a pool, you can easily add some beautiful floating lights without needing any construction work. These lights are battery-operated and can last up to 12 hours, depending on the model.
The best thing about them is that you can change their color and shape to match your mood. For instance, you can use classic golden yellow lights for a serene ambiance, while colorful lights can be perfect for festive occasions.
Takeaway
Your lighting choices should depend on your usage pattern, intended ambiance, and pool shape. Whether you prefer single-color or color-changing lights, automated or floating lights, it's recommended to seek advice from a professional swimming pool contractor. With the right lighting, you can create a relaxing or lively atmosphere that will surely impress your guests and make your pool a luxurious resort-like getaway.

Hi! I saw your post about your top ocean liners! If you're still answering questions, what do you know about the Adriatic? Feel free to include another ship as I'm trying to learn more about ocean liners!
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/a5d4131bcc5fe22221d17b2100f4fb39/24e146a636eb224b-7f/s540x810/7dc5d26c1889120c6ec96624f13fda638764cd27.jpg)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/64ae011e8f505e19d7ec30d00767eabe/24e146a636eb224b-8a/s540x810/122a749d03e7a8a8ac53b6eb06ac2190f46c0370.jpg)
So, the Adriatic occupies a strange position in the Ocean Liner community. If you were to ask someone which of the Olympic class was their favorite, you'd get various answers, including the Britannic. However, very few people would say they picked Britannic because "she's the best version of the Olympic class". Most people would discuss her building, or her World War 1 service. Meanwhile, most people who I have spoken to about the Big 4 prefer the Adriatic because "she's the best version of the big 4". And, I mean, they're right, but its strange. She's the largest, the fastest, and the most luxurious. She was the first ocean liner to feature a swimming pool and Turkish bath, and all of her accommodations were generally a significant upgrade from her predecessors. But it's strange to me how THAT is the reason everyone prefers her. I mean, it's why I prefer her. She's the ultimate ship of the Big 4. But like I said earlier, very few people who prefer Britannic over Olympic and Titanic hold that opinion because she was (planned to be) more luxurious.
Anyway, here are some cool facts for you.
1. The Big 4 was almost the Big 5.
After Titanic sank, White Star apparently put in an order with Harland and Wolff for "A new Adriatic class ship". This is VERY strange considering the Big 4 had since been superceded by the Olympic class. As far as I know, no company EVER ordered a new ship from a previous generation like this, other than this instance. The ship was to be named RMS Germanic, after the SS Germanic of 1874, from the Britannic class. She presumably would have followed and improved upon Adriatics design, just as the Adriatic improved on the design of her predecessors. RMS Germanic had her keel laid down right around when World War 1 started, but the war delayed her construction, and she was eventually canceled.
2. The name
Like the Germanic, The RMS Adriatic was named after another White Star ship, the SS Adriatic of 1871. The SS Adriatic was the 5th ship in the Oceanic class, White Star's first class of ships. Like the RMS Adriatic, the SS Adriatic was an enhanced version of her predecessors. However, the SS Adriatic was later improved upon by the SS Celtic. The RMS Celtic of the Big 4 was named after this ship.
3. The Specs
The third ship of the Big 4, the RMS Baltic (named after the SS Baltic from 1871, also from the Oceanic class) was significantly larger than the previous two ships. However, Harland and Wolff left her engines unmodified. This meant that she was slightly slower than her predecessors. The Adriatic was even larger than the Baltic, but Harland and Wolff made her engines significantly more powerful. This meant that the largest of the Big 4 was also the most powerful, and the fastest. Her fastest crossing time was 7 days and 6 minutes. Also, her top speed was around 17 knots.
4. Coal consumption.
The Lusitania and Mauretania were the fastest ships in the world. From 1907 to 1929, their speed was unrivaled. The Mauretania specifically held the record for 19 uninterrupted years, and even beat her own record once. This, however, came at a cost. The Lusitania and Mauretania consumed 1,000 tons of coal PER DAY. The Olympic, only a few knots slower, only consumed 650 tons per day, despite being nearly 10,000 GRT larger than both of them. I actually discussed this in more detail in a previous post. Anyway, the Adriatic, by comparison, only consumed 260 tons per day. Now, she was nearly 10 knots slower than the Mauretania, but you can see how much more economical it made her by comparison. Because this was before late stage capitalism, these savings were passed on to the consumers. Tickets for the Adriatic (and by extension, the rest of the Big 4) were SIGNIFICANTLY CHEAPER than other competing ships, even the Olympic, and the RMS Oceanic, the predecessor to the Big 4. Also, after the first World War, most Ocean Liners like Olympic and Mauretania were converted to burn Oil instead of coal. This had several advantages.
1) Oil made the refueling process several magnitudes easier and shorter.
2) Burning Oil instead of Coal made the ship marginally faster (the Olympic was 1/10th of a knot faster after the conversion).
3) Burning Oil made the ship produce much less smoke, increasing the air quality in EVERY PORT THESE SHIPS WENT TO.
4) Because fluid takes the shape of its container, you were able to store MUCH more of it, greatly extending the ships range.
However, an unintended consequence of this was the Stokers. Generally, a ship like the Olympic had 350 men stoking the boilers with coal. After being converted to Oil, this number dropped to 50 or 60. Also, because Coal and Oil boilers were so different, coal stokers would need to be completely reeducated to work on these new ships (contrary to popular belief, stokers were considered skilled labor at the time, and required very specific and specialized knowledge and training. It wasn't just a matter of finding a strong guy and handing him a shovel.) As a show of good faith to their employees, White Star didn't convert any of the ships of the Big 4 to burn oil, to help ensure that the coal stokers could maintain employment. This was especially appreciated once the Great Depression hit in 1929.
🌟~B-B-B-BONUS FACT~🌈
The RMS Adriatic was launched on the same day as Cunard's RMS Mauretania. Because of this, as well as the fact that the RMS Lusitania was launched earlier, the Adriatic was the only member of the Big 4 to not hold the title of "largest ship in the world".
⚓️🛟🚢 - BONUS B O N U S FACT - 🚢🛟⚓️
The longest trip the RMS Adriatic did was her voyage to be scrapped in Osaka Japan.
Now that I've infodumped all over your dash, here's a disclaimer:
90% of this was from memory. I occasionally checked some sources for specific numbers like speed and coal consumption, but otherwise this was all stuff I just knew off hand. Before you use ANY of this information ANYWHERE, I'd reccomend fact checking it to make sure I didn't get anything wrong.
If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out and ask! This is my favorite thing in the world.

what is it about cruise ships that you find ugly? like are there any specific ones you hate or is it just all of them?
okay so ive been puzzling over to how to answer this for A While™ because:
theres so many ugly cruise ships i would love to roast, and theres a part of me that wants to make a sideblog about it a la @mcmansionhell but for cruise ships
i am autistic and this is my special interest and i also want to infodump about ship design conventions
theres also really pretty oceanliners like the ss france that got converted into cruise ships where the magical girl transformation sequence malfunctioned badly.
its not always just like the exterior thats badly designed, theres both Awful design inside the ship like the disney wish, and Awful business plans and conduct like the epirotiki lines
...but, thats a lot.
so instead, ive settled on four exterior design issues that i think you can see in a lot of cruise ships even if you dont know shit about ships.
this is by no means an exhaustive list but just some common observations that you will see in 97% of cruise ships.
im also gonna include an example ship for each and also further examples when needed.
so without further ado:
1. your ship looks like a bus and a ferry had an unholy love affair that ended with a baby neither wanted.
as an example of this anchor-christ, may i introduce you to the celebrity edge
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/012f37634d905216079376a21a740aef/ef861d5830e68d5d-48/s540x810/4c14cd54e08d0e90782787fb50a564c9311493f5.jpg)
something about the stern (back) just reminds me of diamond busses here in the uk while the bow (front) has a distinctly ferry-like look.
the super-structure that you see peaking above the spaceship-bridge on the bow is giving me double-decker bus energy.
the orange viewing box elevator thingy gives construction site energy, but also gives me public transport vibes? like i can just see something similar being added on buses with no explanation and we'd all just be like i guess buses are getting the budget silicon valley treatment.
further, celebrity edge has relatively sharp angles at the stern and bow. if you look at a lot of ocean liners, youll see shallower sweeping angles curving down, while a lot of cruise ships will have these sharper angles (though by angles, i mean curves still) or just will stop at the stern:
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/052560a08a6b8037bd68174e188efc60/ef861d5830e68d5d-23/s540x810/743818f9b09d87bf4e05311894300b7d8d274213.jpg)
[Image ID: collage with five ships. In the top left corner, there are two images with the profiles of the SS France and the SS Andrea Doria. In the top right, there is the stern of the MSC Meraviglia. Bottom left: the stern of the Costa Deliziosa. Bottom right: stern of the Norwegian Epic]
though not pictured above, the rms queen mary actually earned her title at the miss pacific ocean competition where a cruise ship will never win because theyre just too ugly.
but my point is that the abrupt ending of superstructure and ship at the stern looks like a bus. it just does.
there is also like "this is just a block of flats" energy with the costa deliziosa, but thats getting into the next point:
-
2. oh no gang, billy bear misplaced his msc seaside hotel and now its floating out to sea on a barge! can you help him?
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/248669017e14ac13bd8b5f4e5e1f3460/ef861d5830e68d5d-d9/s540x810/755325e6556731bece738280006a56b6dbdb3a3d.jpg)
yes this is a butlins reference, what are you gonna do about it? call a red coat on me?
the msc seaside is one of many cruise ships where it looks like someone put a hotel on a barge... which is what a cruise ship actually is.
like, they are barely ships. anyone who says theyre going on a cruise to explore the ocean is trying to buff out their tinder bio. while cruise ships technically can sail across oceans, they dont. their journeys are incredibly short they sail very close to land, avoid any rough weather and its mandatory for all of their captains to have a north american blue grouse fursona.
and thats all because a cruise ship is hotel complex on a barge. its purpose is not to sail far because its just a hotel. there are multiple swimming pools and restaurants and night clubs and fucking rollercoasters on some of them. you can buy souvenirs, you can go do yoga, you can get a massage and as long as your surname doesnt end with a double n, you can put your kid into the available childcare.
forget sending the british army to pontins during covid, lets send them to pontoons!
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/a64802c61b1db9240aac26d86f508025/ef861d5830e68d5d-9d/s540x810/66a7fb0b270ee403627bc28a34a51b74ba88c048.jpg)
hotels on barges are the most common version youll see, but there are other variations which include:
chopping mall 2: carnivore cruises
the 2006 remake of the anchor-christ: abargements/if youre renting in a block of flats on a barge, do you pay rent to a waterlord or is your landlord firmly stood on ground?
the happiest place on earth: disneywater!
the entire shenanigans going on with the freedom ship which i do not have time or energy to get into right now, so lets all just calm and down and take a breath and...
-
...3. close your eyes, imagine, feel it. youre on a cruise ship, the ovation of the seas; its an early august night and petrichor deluges the air. the skies above you glisten, a whirlpool of colour illuminated by hundreds of tiny flecks of light. youre alone on the deck, standing at the stern with your arms precariously balanced on the barrier as you turn your attention to the ocean below. its dark, the gentle waves nearly imperceptible yet bar the bone-white crests against the hull. you watch, captivated, listening to the ocean sing its terrible song. yet then somewhere behind you, the mellow thud of hoofs on the wooden deck weaves between the waves and the melody. you look up, lock eyes, feel a hurricane surround you as he stares back, do you remember to count his fingers?
so, you might have noticed that a lot of modern cruise ships, especially the bigger ones, look like some check-mark tech-bro on the bird app used an ai to steal the work of naval architects, photographers, artists, etc. to generate "their own design" for a cruise ship.
the example i chose for this was the ovation of the seas:
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/8bc5fe04a50971358f1a01d6f951ced0/ef861d5830e68d5d-21/s540x810/dd076f3f6e03a00949abcc027c927307b952fc13.jpg)
the super-structure has copy and paste vibes. the ship also looks like its lurching forward to attack me but thats beside the point.
one of the issues the designers for these ships - i would say naval architects but cruise lines sometimes choose someone for head of design who is not a naval architect and has never been on a ship before for shits, giggles and profits- run into is that its really difficult to make a long blank wall look good.
if youve ever made a house in the sims, youve probably ran into this yourself. youre happily building your house and it looks really good at the front and the back, but the side of it is just a wall and adding windows is giving copy and paste vibes.
my trick for this is either fake chimney, add an extra small popout, vines everywhere or hide it with trees, but these are not viable options for a cruise ship.
trust me, i checked:
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/209acc92892dc99fb3a5e27a52a79571/ef861d5830e68d5d-d5/s540x810/e1d24bca97f869a9bc37763ec7ce2af59ed0354f.jpg)
hence, we end up with very long ships where its just ctrl c ctrl v for 300+ metres.
so how do you fix this?
well, idk maybe you could take notes from any of the longer ocean liners built in recent history.
you know, like the ss united states or the rms queen mary 2 or the ss michelangelo or the ss normandie or the mv kungsholm or the ss principe perfeito:
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/ea9e61ee34d7eca5e8d282888c24fb43/ef861d5830e68d5d-99/s540x810/6811343b0fb81559b33bb05cfdf7960d58db70cf.jpg)
now im not saying all of these liners are the most beautiful boats ever; theyre not. as much as i adore her, queen mary 2 is a little ugly. most of them even have an element of copy and paste.
but none of them feel ai-generated. and a lot of them look really really pretty. you can tell that they were designed by human beings.
because the naval architects and naval designers who knew what they were doing. weve got clever use of colours, gorgeous use of curves and sweeping lines that balance out all the design elements. the sameness is broken up when possible, and the ship has focal points designed within to catch your eye.
and all of them have beautiful bows. most ocean liners had/have noticeable bows due to functionality; they needed sharp bows to cut through waves because they were crossing the ocean every week. and so extra care would be taken to both make the bow work for its function and also, look really fucking cool.
the ss normandie specifically has a unique bow shape and structure designed by vladimir yourkevitch, a russian naval architect who had emigrated to france after the russian revolution.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/b16f668a77af1f820c83bea44f00018b/ef861d5830e68d5d-02/s540x810/845603157150ea0a55ac2dd251e89da3e4a54e94.jpg)
the bow is slanted and looks almost clipper-like. theres this clear bulbous bulb (thats the wrong term but the bit at the bottom) beneath the waterline. this design is matched with a slim hull designed to be hydrodynamic, which made her a very fast ship.
she and the rms queen mary fought over the blue ribband for several years before ww2 broke out. [x][x]
its a little wibbly-wobbly-looking but it gives her a very distinct profile and she just looks really cool. you dont notice the repeating pattern of windows on the super structure because of how striking her entire design is.
and well, there has been attempts to capture this with cruise ships.
they run into problems with it though because their bows are not designed the way ocean liners' bows were because a cruise ship does not need to cut through waves. itd be really weird if you were in a fancy restaurant and you were giving a steak knife for your caesar salad.
so what else can you do to make your bow look so beautiful her kissing booth would be sold out all weekend?

4. your bow art is ugly. it is ugly. it is really ugly. please stop putting art on your bow. it is all ugly.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/85e3fede293a350b3e8856867b372561/ef861d5830e68d5d-e8/s540x810/b62c39f91323b9829462583acbd006c255370bce.jpg)
yeah.
take a moment .
.
its okay.
i promise
,
.
shes not real.
.
you can breathe.
take another breath.
.
.
youre okay.
.
.
.
are you scrolled far down enough that you cant see her anymore?
yeah so that was the aidanova. probably the worst bow art i have ever encountered but im yet to encounter any bow art that isnt awful.
pride of america is terrible; caribbean princess' is just completely out of place; norwegian prima is the epitome of "what the fuck?"; majestic princess' makes the ship look naked somehow.
now i will concede that a lot of bow art is probably aimed at children because family cruises are a thing, but i wont concede that it changes anything.
the bow art is still ugly and i struggle to see how it would be appealing to a child. like engaging children is more than just throwing some bright colours and patterns on a canvas? children are smarter than that and even in my joking post making fun of cruise ships, im not gonna stand for the way we invalidate the personhood of children. theyre not things to be distracted with simple solutions.
weirdly the aidanovas is the one id be less harsh about in terms of engaging children because there is more to dig into like a boat version of thomas the tank engine or like how do boat body work? the art isnt surface level.
but its still just ugly. the shape of the bow does not compliment the face and the change in colour in the eyes is very distracting.
tbh, if youre gonna do bow art, youve got two options that arent awful:
actually aim it at kids in a way thats not just surface level look at bright colour braxter. have focus groups with kids, gets their feedback, have kids contribute. respect the intelligence and personhood of kids.
just go all out. balls to the fucking wall, just break every damn rule in the book and apply every technique your art teacher hated. the ship is gonna be ugly anyway, make it fun ugly. camp is in. pantomime it up in this bitch!
-
and anyway, that concludes my "brief" answer to this question 👍
btw if you would follow a blog that just trashes cruise ships because of how ugly they are, please tell me because like, if enough people would enjoy it to make the effort worth it, i Will do it.

RMS Titanic was a British ocean liner that sank on 15 April 1912 after striking an iceberg on the ship's maiden voyage from Southampton, England to New York City, United States. Titanic, operated by the White Star Line, was carrying passengers and mail. Of the estimated 2,224 passengers and crew aboard, approximately 1,500 died, making the incident the deadliest sinking of a single ship at the time.[a] Titanic carried some of the wealthiest people in the world, as well as hundreds of emigrants from the British Isles, Scandinavia, and elsewhere in Europe who were seeking a new life in the United States and Canada. The disaster drew public attention, spurred major changes in maritime safety regulations, and inspired a lasting legacy in popular culture.

RMS Titanic was the largest ship afloat upon entering service and the second of three Olympic-class ocean liners built for the White Star Line. The ship was built by the Harland and Wolff shipbuilding company in Belfast. Thomas Andrews Jr., the chief naval architect of the shipyard, died in the disaster. Titanic was under the command of Captain Edward John Smith, who went down with the ship.
The first-class accommodation was designed to be the pinnacle of comfort and luxury. It included a gymnasium, swimming pool, smoking rooms, fine restaurants and cafes, a Victorian-style Turkish bath, and hundreds of opulent cabins. A high-powered radiotelegraph transmitter was available to send passenger "marconigrams" and for the ship's operational use. Titanic had advanced safety features, such as watertight compartments and remotely activated watertight doors, which contributed to the ship's reputation as "unsinkable".
Titanic was equipped with 16 lifeboat davits, each capable of lowering three lifeboats, for a total of 48 boats. Despite this capacity of 48, the ship was only equipped with a total of 20 lifeboats. Fourteen were regular lifeboats, two were cutter lifeboats, and four were collapsible and proved difficult to launch while the ship was sinking. Together, the 20 lifeboats could hold 1,178 people—about half the number of passengers on board, and one-third of the number of passengers the ship could have carried at full capacity (a number consistent with the maritime safety regulations of the era). The British Board of Trade's regulations required 14 lifeboats for a ship 10,000 tonnes. Titanic carried six more than required, allowing 338 extra people room in lifeboats. When the ship sank, the lifeboats that had been lowered were only filled up to an average of 60%.

Titanic was a British passenger and mail carrying ocean liner
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/4934481faab3660502a2390486990595/f95ebebe7ad045f0-39/s400x600/925a2f2dc594b1f1a10a5dc3e3e63f661a6e398e.jpg)
RMS Titanic was a British passenger and mail carrying ocean liner, operated by the White Star Line, that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean on 15 April 1912 as a result of striking an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton, England, to New York City, United States. Of the estimated 2,224 passengers and crew aboard, about 1,500 died, making it the deadliest sinking of a single ship up to that time. The disaster drew public attention, spurred major changes in maritime safety regulations, and inspired many artistic works. RMS Titanic was the largest ship afloat at the time she entered service and the second of three Olympic-class ocean liners built for the White Star Line. She was built by the Harland and Wolff shipbuilding company in Belfast. Thomas Andrews Jr., the chief naval architect of the shipyard, died in the disaster. Titanic was under the command of Captain Edward John Smith, who went down with the ship. The ocean liner carried some of the wealthiest people in the world, as well as hundreds of emigrants from the British Isles, Scandinavia, and elsewhere throughout Europe, who were seeking a new life in the United States and Canada.
The first-class accommodation was designed to be the pinnacle of comfort and luxury, with a gymnasium, swimming pool, smoking rooms, high-class restaurants and cafes, a Turkish bath, and hundreds of opulent cabins. A high-powered radiotelegraph transmitter was available for sending passenger "marconigrams" and for the ship's operational use. Titanic had advanced safety features, such as watertight compartments and remotely activated watertight doors, contributing to its reputation as "unsinkable". Titanic was equipped with 16 lifeboat davits, each capable of lowering three lifeboats, for a total of 48 boats. Despite this capacity of 48, the ship was only equipped with a total of 20 lifeboats. Fourteen were regular lifeboats, two were cutter lifeboats, and four were collapsible and proved difficult to launch while she was sinking. Together, the 20 lifeboats could hold 1,178 people—about half the number of passengers on board, and one-third of the number of passengers the ship could have carried at full capacity (a number consistent with the maritime safety regulations of the era). The British Board of Trade's regulations required 14 lifeboats for a ship 10,000 tonnes. Titanic carried six more than required, allowing 338 extra people room in lifeboats. When the ship sank, the lifeboats that had been lowered were only filled up to an average of 60%.

Swimming Pool Construction in Pune: Process, Cost Factors & Budgeting Guide
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/a2b6228f7a1c20a60c56bd7a08b543af/816a000eaa5dafba-1d/s400x600/ff50775825d2a28d19d14c18dae3144b2316e373.jpg)
A swimming pool is a great addition to any property, offering relaxation, aesthetics, and an excellent way to stay fit. Whether it's for a residential or commercial space, hiring a swimming pool contractor in Pune ensures a hassle-free experience. But before you dive into your swimming pool construction, it's essential to understand the process, costs, and budgeting aspects. This guide covers everything you need to know!
Swimming Pool Construction Process
1. Planning & Design
The first step in swimming pool construction in Pune is proper planning. This includes:
Determining the pool size and shape
Choosing between an in-ground or above-ground pool
Selecting materials (concrete, fiberglass, or vinyl liner)
Deciding on additional features like lighting, waterfalls, or heating systems
A swimming pool contractor will help you assess your space, local regulations, and design preferences to create a customized plan.
2. Obtaining Permits
Before construction begins, obtaining the necessary permits from local authorities is crucial. Your swimming pool contractor in Pune will typically handle this process, ensuring compliance with safety and zoning laws.
3. Excavation & Site Preparation
Once permits are approved, excavation starts. This step involves:
Digging the required depth and shape
Preparing the ground with a sturdy base
Ensuring proper drainage to prevent water accumulation issues
4. Structural Framework & Plumbing
Next, steel reinforcement is placed to strengthen the pool’s structure. The plumbing system, including filters, drains, and water lines, is also installed at this stage.
5. Pool Shell Installation
Depending on the material chosen, the shell installation varies:
Concrete Pools: A layer of gunite or shotcrete is sprayed and left to cure.
Fiberglass Pools: A pre-fabricated shell is placed into the excavated area.
Vinyl Pools: A vinyl liner is fitted over a frame structure.
6. Decking & Finishing
Once the pool structure is complete, the surrounding area is beautified with decking materials such as tiles, stone, or wood. Additional features like LED lighting and waterfalls are installed at this stage.
7. Water Filling & Final Inspection
The last step is filling the pool with water, balancing the chemicals, and conducting a thorough safety inspection. A professional swimming pool contractor will ensure all systems are functioning correctly before handing over the pool to the owner.
Cost Factors & Budgeting for Swimming Pool Construction
The cost of swimming pool construction in Pune varies depending on multiple factors:
1. Pool Size & Shape
Larger pools require more materials, labor, and excavation, increasing the overall cost. Custom shapes and intricate designs also contribute to higher expenses.
2. Material Selection
Concrete Pools: Most durable but expensive, requiring long-term maintenance.
Fiberglass Pools: Mid-range in cost, offering faster installation with low maintenance.
Vinyl Liner Pools: The most affordable but requires liner replacements every few years.
3. Additional Features
Enhancements like waterfalls, pool heating systems, LED lights, and automation increase the total investment. Discussing options with a swimming pool contractor helps prioritize features within your budget.
4. Location & Site Conditions
The complexity of the installation site affects costs. If extensive excavation, drainage solutions, or soil reinforcement is needed, expect higher expenses.
5. Maintenance & Upkeep
Beyond construction, pool maintenance is an ongoing cost. Regular cleaning, chemical balancing, and repairs should be factored into your budget.
Why Hire a Professional Swimming Pool Contractor in Pune?
Choosing an expert swimming pool contractor in Pune ensures:
Proper adherence to local regulations
High-quality materials and workmanship
Timely project completion
Long-term durability with expert maintenance tips
Conclusion
Investing in swimming pool construction adds value to your property and enhances your lifestyle. By understanding the process, costs, and budgeting aspects, you can make informed decisions. Hiring a reputable swimming pool contractor in Pune guarantees a seamless and efficient installation process. Ready to build your dream pool? Connect with experts today!

Comparing 20 Mil vs. 27 Mil Vinyl Liners: Which One is Better?
When selecting a vinyl pool liner, one of the most critical decisions you’ll face is the thickness of the liner. The two most common options homeowners consider are 20 mil and 27 mil vinyl liners. Both offer distinct benefits, but understanding their differences will help you make an informed choice based on the needs of your swimming pool.
Whether you’re planning a new backyard swimming pool design or looking to replace an existing liner, choosing the right thickness is essential to ensure durability, fit, and long-lasting performance.
In this article, we discuss the differences between 20 mil and 27 mil vinyl pool liners, helping you choose the best option for your swimming pool in Toronto.
Vinyl Liner Thickness
What Does “Mil” Mean in Liner Thickness?
In the pool industry, the term “mil” refers to the measurement of thickness, with one mil being equal to one-thousandth of an inch. A 20 mil liner, for example, is 0.020 inches thick, while a 27 mil liner is 0.027 inches thick. While the difference might seem small, this extra 7 mils can significantly impact the liner’s performance and durability.
Differences Between 20 Mil and 27 Mil Liners in Composition
The difference in thickness between a 20 mil and 27 mil liner may be subtle, but it comes down to the composition and the materials used. A 27 mil liner is typically made with a denser, more robust layer of vinyl, often with additional protective coatings that improve its strength and resistance to various elements. On the other hand, 20 mil liners are often more lightweight and may not include as many reinforcing layers. However, both liners are designed to be flexible and durable, making them suitable for different pool designs and budgets.
Durability & Longevity
How Each Thickness Handles Wear and Tear
When it comes to wear and tear, a 27 mil vinyl pool liner tends to outlast a 20 mil liner. The added thickness means it can better withstand the friction caused by pool equipment, foot traffic, and even pets that may use the pool. Over time, a 20 mil liner may show signs of fading, discoloration, or minor damage, especially if exposed to harsh UV rays or chemicals. In contrast, a 27 mil liner offers superior protection against these factors, ensuring a more prolonged lifespan.
Resistance to Punctures, Tears, and Chemical Exposure
One of the key advantages of a 27 mil liner is its enhanced resistance to punctures, tears, and chemical exposure. Since it is thicker, it offers a stronger barrier against sharp objects that might accidentally fall into the pool, such as garden tools or debris. It is also more resistant to the chemicals used in pools, such as chlorine or saltwater, which can cause the liner to degrade over time. A 20 mil liner, while still resilient, might require more frequent maintenance and inspections to ensure it remains intact and fully functional.
Lifespan Expectations for 20 Mil Vs. 27 Mil
The lifespan of a vinyl pool liner depends on various factors, including the liner’s thickness. Typically, a 20 mil liner can last between 7 to 12 years, while a 27 mil liner often lasts 12 to 15 years or longer with proper care. The thicker 27 mil liner is generally a better investment if you plan to stay in your home for many years, as it requires fewer replacements and less frequent maintenance.
Flexibility & Fit
How Thickness Affects Liner Stretch and Installation
The thicker the liner, the less flexible it is. A 20 mil liner is more pliable, making it easier to install and fit into the pool. This can be particularly beneficial for DIY projects or pool shapes that aren’t overly complex. On the other hand, a 27 mil liner may require a bit more effort to install due to its increased rigidity. However, professionals will find it easier to handle during the installation process, as the added thickness ensures a snug fit and less chance of wrinkling or shifting over time.
The Impact of Fit on Pool Shape and Surface Coverage
The thickness of the liner also plays a significant role in how well it conforms to the shape of your pool. Pools with more intricate or irregular shapes, such as those with curves or built-in features, will benefit from a thicker 27 mil liner, as it holds its shape better and provides a more precise fit. While a 20 mil liner may stretch more, it can sometimes have difficulty maintaining a tight fit over complex pool designs, which could result in wrinkles or stretching over time.
Ideal Liner Thickness for Complex Pool Designs
If you have a pool with intricate or custom features, the 27 mil liner is typically the better option. Its added thickness provides extra stability, ensuring that the vinyl pool liner fits well over all of the curves and contours of your pool. For simpler, more straightforward pool designs, a 20 mil liner can still provide excellent coverage without the additional cost of a thicker liner.
Cost Considerations
Price Differences Between 20 Mil and 27 Mil Liners
One of the first things homeowners consider when selecting a vinyl pool liner is cost. Typically, 27 mil liners are more expensive than 20 mil liners due to their thicker composition and added durability. The price difference can vary based on the brand, design, and pool size, but generally, you can expect to pay 20-30% more for a 27 mil liner compared to a 20 mil option.
While the upfront cost is higher for the thicker liner, the overall investment might be more cost-effective in the long run, depending on your pool usage and maintenance preferences.
Long-Term Value Vs. Initial Investment
While a 20 mil vinyl pool liner may save you money initially, it’s important to consider the long-term value. A thicker 27 mil liner, while more expensive upfront, can last longer, resist wear and tear better, and require fewer repairs or replacements. This makes it a more cost-effective option over time, especially for homeowners who plan to stay in their homes for many years or use their pools frequently.
If you’re looking for a more affordable short-term option and are okay with replacing the liner sooner, a 20 mil liner may fit your budget better.
When Spending More Makes Sense
Spending more on a 27 mil vinyl pool liner makes sense in situations where durability, performance, and long-term value are important. If you live in an area with harsh winters, like Toronto, or if your pool is subjected to heavy usage, the added protection of a 27 mil liner can provide peace of mind that your pool will remain in good condition for years. Additionally, for larger pools or complex backyard swimming pool designs, the thicker liner ensures a better fit and fewer maintenance issues.
However, if you have a smaller pool, rarely use it, or are on a tighter budget, a 20 mil liner may suffice. It’s also a great option for homeowners who plan to sell their homes soon and don’t want to invest too much in pool maintenance.
Maintenance & Repair Factors
Ease Of Cleaning and Maintaining Each Thickness
Both 20 mil and 27 mil vinyl pool liners are relatively easy to clean and maintain. However, the thicker 27 mil liner generally holds up better against stains, fading, and the accumulation of dirt and debris over time. Its extra strength makes it less susceptible to damage from scrubbing or cleaning tools. On the other hand, a 20 mil liner may show signs of wear more quickly, especially if it’s regularly exposed to harsh cleaning methods or chemicals.
In terms of maintenance, both types of liners benefit from regular brushing and the use of a pool vacuum to remove debris. Keeping the water chemistry balanced also ensures that the liner stays in optimal condition, regardless of thickness.
Repairability: Which Liner Is Easier To Patch?
When it comes to repairs, 20 mil vinyl pool liners are generally easier to patch due to their thinner, more flexible nature. However, while easier to repair, they are also more likely to tear or puncture, requiring more frequent attention. In contrast, a 27 mil liner, though harder to patch due to its added thickness, is less likely to suffer damage in the first place, which reduces the need for repairs.
Effects Of Sun Exposure, Chlorine, and Water Chemistry
Sun exposure, chlorine, and water chemistry all have an impact on the longevity of vinyl pool liners. The UV rays from the sun can cause the liner to fade over time, while chemicals like chlorine can degrade the material. A 27 mil liner offers better protection against both of these elements, retaining its colour and structural integrity longer. A 20 mil liner, being thinner, is more vulnerable to UV damage and chemical exposure, potentially requiring more frequent maintenance and liner replacement.
Best Applications for Each Liner Thickness
Ideal Scenarios For Choosing 20 Mil Liners
20 mil vinyl pool liners are a great option for smaller, less frequently used pools. If your backyard swimming pool design is straightforward and doesn’t involve many complex features, a 20 mil liner provides an affordable solution with adequate durability. Additionally, if you live in a region with a mild climate and don’t experience extreme weather conditions, a 20 mil liner may meet your needs without the higher upfront cost of a 27 mil liner.
Situations Where 27 Mil Is the Better Choice
For larger pools, complex pool shapes, or areas with harsh weather conditions (like Toronto’s cold winters and intense summers), a 27 mil liner is a better investment. The thicker liner provides added durability against wear and tear, weather fluctuations, and frequent pool usage. It’s also ideal for homeowners who want a long-term solution with minimal repairs and replacements, ensuring the liner stays in good condition throughout the years.
Pool Types, Climates, and User Needs
If you have a saltwater pool or a pool that uses high levels of chlorine, a 27 mil liner is the better option. The thicker material can handle the chemical exposure better, reducing the likelihood of degradation. Similarly, if your pool is used regularly or by many people, the 27 mil liner will withstand the increased wear and tear, giving you a longer-lasting and more durable surface. For swimming pools in Toronto, where fluctuating weather can put extra stress on the pool, the 27 mil liner’s resilience makes it a smart choice.
Myths & Misconceptions
“Thicker Is Always Better” – Is It True?
While a thicker vinyl liner offers additional durability, it’s not always the best choice for every pool. For example, a smaller, less-used pool might benefit more from a 20 mil liner. It’s essential to consider your pool’s size, usage, and local climate before deciding on the thickness.
Do 27 Mil Liners Last Significantly Longer?
While 27 mil liners generally last longer than 20 mil liners, the difference in longevity depends on the pool’s usage and maintenance. In many cases, the 27 mil liner’s added thickness leads to a more durable and long-lasting product, but proper care and balanced water chemistry can also extend the lifespan of a 20 mil liner.
Addressing Common Pool Owner Concerns
Some pool owners worry that a 27 mil liner might be too rigid or difficult to install. While the thicker material does require more care during installation, it’s well worth the effort for pools with complex designs or harsh conditions. As for cost, the additional investment often pays off in terms of reduced maintenance and longer-lasting performance.
Final Verdict
Industry professionals recommend choosing vinyl pool liners based on your pool’s usage and environment. For homeowners with basic backyard swimming pool designs or pools with light usage, a 20 mil liner is a cost-effective option. However, for those with larger pools, intricate designs, or swimming pools in Toronto exposed to harsh weather, a 27 mil liner provides superior durability and long-term value. Experts agree that while the initial investment is higher, the 27 mil liner’s resilience against wear, chemicals, and sun exposure makes it the better choice for frequent pool users seeking minimal maintenance and extended longevity.

Working with a Custom Pool Contractor in Houston: Notes for Success
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/0b78ba5507d44cf4976b2a4ed4a13278/3eb8d8d9378fa92a-51/s540x810/cdb230321dfbd7a67db8d849147779535fca88f1.jpg)
Two things: if you are in the Houston, Texas area and you are considering upgrading your home with a bespoke pool and patio for this spring and summer, then this is the page you should be on.
It will take you through a very high-level process for planning out the project. Once you have your notes together from what this post suggests, you can get to working with a custom pool contractor in Houston to complete the project.
Envision the Pool
The first and most important part of this exercise is that you start considering your vision for the actual pool.
First off, figure out whether you want an in-ground or above ground pool.
If you get an in-ground pool, you may enjoy more flexibility with the layout, shape and overall design of the pool and its features.
Now, how big (in terms of volume) do you want this pool to be?
What size and shape do you want the pool to be, as well?
Once you have those details hammered out, consider also where you want the pool to be on the lot.
Then, you can also start determining what sort of liner or substrate you want on the bottom of the pool, as well as what sorts of concrete or stonework you want around the pool. Will you have a rock waterfall? Will access to the pool be gated? Will there be a diving board or other features incorporated into the pool’s design? These are some of the things you will want to think over.
At this point you should also consider lighting. That may become an item later in the process, but if you want underwater lighting built into the design of the pool, you’ll want to square that away early on.
Think Beyond the Pool
When it comes to outfitting your home with a pool, oftentimes it’s about so much more than just the pool, and you need to plan for it.
Will your outdoor space have a patio? On that patio will you have an overhang? Do you want a wet bar? What sorts of lighting and entertainment do you want poolside? Do you want yard games or a firepit?
Now is the time to settle these (and other) questions. You should also think about landscaping at this point, too, as some contractors can help you out with landscaping.
Come up with a Budget
Now that you have your basic vision for your pool laid out, you need to come up with a budget that you’re going to be reasonably comfortable spending.
You just need a rough estimate at this point so you can figure out how much you can afford; most contractors will be willing to work with you to develop a project and a figure that makes you both happy.
So don’t get too stressed at this point. You just need to know where to start.
Select a Custom Pool Contractor in Houston and Make It Happen
Your vision is ready, you know what you want to spend - now it’s time to start the search for a custom pool contractor in Houston that can get the job done. That’s where Ocean Blue Pools comes in. They are highly regarded as the best choice in the area when it comes to custom pools. Give them a call to get started, and they can help bring your vision to life!
