Home / UNDERWATER TILING
A well-maintained swimming pool is a haven of recreation and fun, but over time, wear and tear can cause tile breakages, leading to sharp edges that pose safety risks for swimmers. Traditionally, fixing broken pool tiles would involve draining the entire pool, disrupting pool time for an extended period and incurring significant costs with not only operational downtime, but water, chemical and energy costs. Fortunately, there’s a more efficient and cost-effective solution – underwater tile replacement by the skilled dive team at Cheviot Underwater Solutions.
Check out some examples below of delaminated and failed tiles replaced underwater by the skilled team at Cheviot Underwater Solutions, then let’s dive into the advantages of this innovative method and how it can keep your pool afloat without draining your resources!
Cost-Effective:
One of the most compelling advantages of underwater pool tile replacement is the cost-effectiveness. Draining a pool is a time-consuming process that demands significant amounts of water, chemicals, and energy. It also results in a huge loss of revenue through closure and negative impacts on regular pool users. On the other hand, divers can skilfully and swiftly replace broken tiles underwater without draining a single drop. This significantly reduces costs and allows councils and pool operators to allocate their budget to other essential pool upgrades or amenities.
Minimal Disruption:
Emptying a pool for tile replacement can cause considerable inconvenience to pool users. It disrupts pool activities and can leave swimmers without a place to work out or cool off on hot days. Underwater tile replacement with Cheviot Underwater Solutions negates this issue entirely, as the pool remains open during the repair process. Divers can work discreetly and efficiently, ensuring that the pool’s regular operation remains undisturbed.
Preserving Pool Integrity:
Draining a pool can subject the exposed interior surface to drying, potentially leading to damage. Cracks, fading, and de-lamination can occur when the pool shell is left without water for extended periods. By opting for underwater tile replacement, the pool’s structural integrity is preserved, as the water’s constant pressure provides support to the pool’s surfaces, preventing any potential damage.
Enhanced Safety:
Make no mistake, broken tiles carry extremely sharp edges and are massive safety hazards. These edges can cause major cuts or abrasions leading to injury. By replacing broken tiles underwater, we eliminate any WHS risk of swimmers encountering these hazardous edges, ensuring a safe and enjoyable swimming environment.
Environmentally Friendly:
Water is a precious resource, and draining a pool results in a wasteful consumption of this vital commodity. Opting for underwater tile replacement by Cheviot Underwater Solutions is an eco-friendly choice that conserves water and reduces chemical usage. By keeping the pool filled during repairs, pool owners can contribute to water conservation efforts and promote sustainability.
Pool maintenance should always prioritize safety, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability. Underwater pool tile replacement by skilled divers offers a perfect blend of these benefits. It eliminates the need for draining the pool, ensuring minimal disruption, reduced costs, and preserved pool integrity. Moreover, it creates a safer swimming environment and contributes to environmental conservation by conserving water. So, the next time you encounter broken pool tiles, contact Cheviot Underwater Solutions for underwater tile replacement, and keep your pool running hassle-free!
