If you practice good pool maintenance, you can make sure that the swimming pools, tiles, and surrounding area stay in good condition. If you have tiles in your pool, you want to make sure that people do not use heavy objects in the pool that could crash into the tiles and damage them.
You should avoid having to repair pool tiles, which would require a pool repair contractor. If you keep heavy objects out of the pool area, you will protect the tiles. You will also need to keep the Tiles clean and prevent cracking.
Cleaning the Tiles
When you have to clean the swimming pool tiles ( which is also known as " piscina azulejo " in the Spanish language ) and fixtures, you need to use pool supplies that are recommended for tiled pools. If you use a corrosive cleaning solution, you can damage the tiles and cause yourself more headaches.
Take time to read the directions and recommended uses for each of the cleaning supplies you buy for the swimming pool. Make sure that the chemicals that you use to keep the water clean are not corrosive to the tiles. Always keep the tiles clean and free of mildew and algae.
Old Tiles
If you have older swimming pools, tiles may become old and start to crack or turn brittle. This does not happen all that often, but the hardness of the water and the type of cleaning and chemicals you use in your pool can age the tiles over years.
The same holds true for vinyl pool liners. Tiles are preferred because they have less of a chance of being damaged, but age can cause the tiles to need replacing. If you notice that some of the tiles are old and in need of repair or replacement, you should have this done before you have water leaks in the pool.
