Why Every Pool Should Have An Outdoor Pool Shower

By Roger Olson


Having a pool means tons of outdoor fun. But keeping that pool clean is a lot of work. It's not only the obvious things that can cause issue with chemical balances in water, like leaves, dirt, and the like; the people splashing around in there can be causing far more issues. Sweat, perfumes, body lotions and most products used on the skin and hair will put pool water out of whack. One thing that can dramatically help is having an outdoor pool shower and enforcing its' use before every dip.

Visitors to public pools, indoor and outdoor, require swimmers to shower before using the facilities. Preventing all of those chemicals in personal products as well as those found in laundry soap and dryer sheets or fabric softener end up in the pool water is key. They can wreak havoc with the balance of chemical treatments and require more frequent cleanings and the addition of even more, chemicals to counteract them.

An outdoor shower can be something as simple as a bag or bucket of water, heated in the sun, that is then used and refilled. It can be made in such a way that it is easy and accessible, and doesn't cost a lot. Even something as simple as that can help to save money on pool maintenance by rinsing away problems before they end up in the water.

If there is money in the budget, and the homeowner prefers to have a more elaborate shower, one can be built. There are many companies that can provide endless options. Some are incorporated into existing plumbing and work much like any indoor shower and can be a beautiful addition to any outdoor area.

For people wishing to build their own, ideas and plans are available online. From very basic to more elaborate, the design and style depend on the skills of the builder and the budget and space available. It can be very easy to find a design that fits well into the style of the yard and the landscape and it can be a fun and rewarding project.

No matter what type of shower is chosen, it will not be effective unless it is used by each and every person who swims. Advise guests of the reasons for requiring them to rinse prior to swimming and the effects if they do not.

Another bonus of having an outdoor shower is the ability to rinse free of pool chemicals after swimming. Whether the water is treated with traditional chemicals like chlorine, or another option like salt water, it is always a good idea to clean those from the skin after swimming. This is another benefit of the convenience of having a readily available shower.

Help family and guests to understand the importance of using the shower both before and swimming. Enforce the rule of use and it will become habit for everyone, making the water easier to maintain and helping to save money on treatment chemicals.
