How to calculate the value of a kidney shape pool:

Calculating the surface area of rectangular and circular pools is straightforward and uses math we can all remember. Kidney-shaped, or reniform, pools, on the other hand, combine the curves of a circular pool with the elongated shape of a rectangular pool. With a constantly changing width and no straight edges, you might assume the math to find the area of a kidney-shaped object is highly complex, but you'd be wrong. The calculations involve three measurements and one straightforward formula.
Kidney-shaped pools have curves and a variable width.


Step 1
Measure the length of the pool along an imaginary line joining the opposite ends of the longest axis. Repeat the measurement until you are satisfied that it is correct. Record the value.

Step 2
Measure the width of the wider bulge of the kidney shape and record the value as "A." Measure the width of the smaller bulge and record that value as "B." Double-check your measurements.

Step 3
Calculate the surface area, using the formula: Area = (A + B) x Length x 0.45
For example, a pool is 20 feet long and has widths of 10 and 15 feet. Substituting the dimensions into the formula gives the surface area as (10 + 15) x 20 x 0.45, or 225 square feet.

Well Summer has come and gone and you are not using your pool as much... Now what should you do?

As the summer winds have fully wrapped up by now, it’s time for you to winterize your in-ground pool and get ready for the cold winter months. Especially if you’re living in the TX region, then you sure as heck have to make sure that all the arrangements you’re making to winterize the pool are fully up to the mark.

In general terms, winterizing a swimming pool in Texas means simply pulling all the drain plugs on the equipment items, shutting down the entire pool equipment and then lowering the water to the bottom of the tile. This entire process might seem lengthy and complex to you (while reading the details) but once you get the right equipment and fully understand the process, it is extremely easy for you to winterize your in-ground pool (of course, you could always have us do it for you, but we thought we’d inform you on how the process works).

Please Contact us at CTR Pool Services and we will about to do this for you.

Hey Pool owners for the next few days i will be going over tips on how to close your pool. Closing your pool just means that you would not be swimming it because of cooler weather and you dont have a pool heater.

Why is properly closing your inground pool so important?

Reasons to properly close your inground include:

*Avoid expensive freeze damage to pipes and pool equipment

*Spend less money on pool opening chemicals
Save energy

*Avoid metal and organic staining

*Prevent excessive debris and buildup during offseason (less cleanup later)

*Avoid wasting time reopening in the spring (get back in the water faster)

*Reduce stress knowing everything will work the day you reopen

Tomorrow we will tell you when you should close your pool. Feel free to ask question or leave your feed back.

When kids are in or near water (including bathtubs), actively supervise them at all times.

Drowning happens quickly and quietly which makes it imperative for adults watching kids in or near water to avoid distracting activities like playing cards, reading books, talking on the phone, and using alcohol or drugs.

Annette Courtney, founder of the nonprofit Judah Brown Project, said that while it's not uncommon for children to die by drowning, it is unusual for children to die in clusters so close together.
