Ultra-Budget-Friendly Swimming Pool Upgrades

Last updated on April 2, 2018 by Sozo Staff Leave a Comment

Pool upgrades can come in many forms, and the great news is that many of them are budget-friendly! Considering the initial investment of your in-ground swimming pool, anything under $1,000 may seem like quite a bargain. But if you’re even more budget-conscious, check out these pool upgrades below that will cost $500 or less.

Pool Fountains

Starting at only $50 or so, a pool fountain is an extremely budget-friendly water fixture that offers many of the same benefits as waterfalls: water circulation, visual appeal, and soothing properties. Most fountains are fast and easy to install, too, and some even come with color-changing lights. During the months when the weather is no longer conducive to swimming but when your pool can still remain open, you can enjoy the visually calming properties of water, thanks to your pool fountain. Typically topping off at under $400, a pool fountain is definitely a nice upgrade.

Solar Pool Covers

A solar pool cover is not only a budget-friendly purchase, but it’s also a product that will benefit your monthly bills. This cost-effective option helps improve the heat retention properties of your pool, preventing heat loss and evaporation. Along with regularly running a pool heater, a solar pool cover will conserve the heat produced. The cost will be determined largely by the size of your pool, but you should expect to pay somewhere between $100 and $250 for a solar cover.

Built-In Pool Seating

Patio seating is nice, but pool seating offers you the option of remaining in the pool while still comfortably taking a seat and sipping your favorite pool-side beverage. Of course, floating lounges are options, too, but sometimes it’s nice to be on solid seating. Ranging from $150 to $400, built-in pool seats are a trendy upgrade that will outlast any inexpensive floating chair.

Pool Monitoring Systems

Pool maintenance is important, and you can avoid problems associated with missed maintenance checks by having a pool monitoring system installed. Allowing you to maintain proper pool chemical levels and temperatures remotely from any computer or mobile device, a pool monitoring device is probably less expensive than you would think, costing only between $200 and $400.

Automatic Pool Water Leveler

Along with your pool’s chemical levels, water levels are also extremely significant. Your pool’s filtration and heating systems require proper water levels, and proper circulation requires it as well. An automatic leveler will help you maintain proper water levels; all you have to do is hook it up to a hose, and let it hang off your pool’s edge. Using a built-in sensor, the leveler will detect when your water line drops too low and will then trigger the addition of more water. Costing between $60 and $200, an automatic leveler is a great way to make pool maintenance easier.

If you have a little more wiggle room in your budget, you might want to consider these other budget-friendly swimming pool upgrades that will cost less than $1,000.
