Aquatic facilities are often on a tight budget when they need an upgrade to their pool, especially when older pools have leaking, spalled or deteriorated surfaces. Whether your pool was constructed of concrete, fiberglass, steel or aluminum, you can rely on a textured PVC pool membrane liner to effectively contain water, seal structural cracks and solve problems such as leaks.
It’s inevitable that season after season of harsh pool chemicals, general usage, improper or delayed maintanence, and changing weather conditions can all play a role in aging your public pool facility. If your facility is in a colder climate and exposed to the elements, that deterioration speeds up.
If your facility has a gutter trough system, you’re sure to often see people hop, stand, and sit on the grates. While children are the usual culprits, chances are you’ve seen a fair share of adults do it too. Asking your guests to stay off the grates can be a difficult rule to enforce, particularly if the gutter is at deck level.
Other high risk areas of your pool are easier to identify, but there are ways to ensure an even greater level of safety for both you and your visitors.
Has anyone ever complained of scraped, cut or even slightly bleeding toes at your pool? Even if you haven’t had a visitor suffer from it, you’ve probably heard of it. It affects children more often than adults and is often called ‘pool toe’. It occurs when visitors are pushing off the bottom of the pool; if the surface is rough, pitted, or cracked, they end up with scrapes and skinned feet. In shallow water, the injuries can also occur on hands and knees.
As Memorial Day weekend approaches, the unfortunate reality is that many operators simply can not reopen their swimming pools to the public as we battle the COVID-19 outbreak. We have had many questions from customers regarding the best shutdown procedures to follow for pools with our PVC Membrane installed.
Elevated pools and spas are an ever popular design trend: hotels, casinos, luxury apartments can all benefit from a well-designed above-grade pool.

According to OSHA statistics, over 25,000 so-called “slip-and-fall” injuries occur every single day, and lead to over eight million ER visits in a year. So as a pool operator, what can you do to help prevent any of those injuries happening to your employees or guests at your pool, natatorium, or in your locker room?
We’re going to take a look at aluminum pools, and how RenoSys solves a common problem they develop.
Aluminum pools are particularly common indoors and in high schools. They face a specific and unique issue in the form of galvanic corrosion. While galvanic (or electrolytic) corrosion sounds like a complicated scientific process, essentially it’s like an accidental battery that leads to corrosion on the pool shell. It occurs when metal meets with a charge from an outside source. This leads to a detrimental corrosive reaction.
