Renovations are an important part of pool maintenance to ensure longevity and safety. The traditional method of draining a pool can be an expensive and time-consuming process. The Pool Bladder 
is an innovative product from Kayden Manufacturing. This premium manufacturer of vinyl pools liners and safety covers says that this cost-effective option is changing the way pool contractors tackle pool renovations. Jim Dorsey, Director of Sales at Kayden Manufacturing gave us an insight into how this product allows pool contractors to save time and money.
What is a Pool Bladder?
The Pool Bladder can be used to temporarily store water, according to Dorsey. “Often, the water in the pool is already chlorinated, and it only needs a new liner, or some repairs. Dorsey explained that the homeowner doesn’t want to waste the water. “Water is expensive to deliver, and neither are chemicals.” What do you do when you have 30,000 gallons? “Where are you going put that?”
Why use one?
Traditional pool renovations require the complete draining of the pool, which is a costly and time-consuming process. Contractors must pump out thousands gallons of pool water, which can lead to higher utility bills and downtime. This not only causes inconvenience to the pool owner, but also interferes with the regular use of the pool. It also hinders the contractor’s ability complete the project efficiently. Refilling and balancing pool chemicals adds to the length of time and effort required for renovation.
“I live up in the mountains, where everyone uses well water. I just replaced the pump on my well a few weeks ago. My well cannot fill a pool of 20,000 gallons. It’s impossible. In situations like this, the pool bladder would be a great option,” said Dorsey.
Draining and re-filling a swimming pool can severely deplete the water supply of pool owners who use a well. This process can leave homeowners with insufficient water to meet their basic needs. In this case, a Pool Bladder is a great option as it saves water from the well and eliminates the need to hire a water truck.
Why the Pool Bladder makes sense
“Installers can double their workload quite manageably with a Pool Bladderimg alt=”(tm)” class=”wp-smiley” src=”https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72×72/2122.png” style=”height: 1em; max-height: 1em; Installers can easily double their workload with the Pool Bladder . You can either pump the water out to save it or stage the water before you cut the liner out. The liner is stretching. The vacuums are being removed. “You’re going to get a check and be on your way for the next job,” Dorsey said.
Renting a bladder is a good option for a savvy homeowner. Contractors can save money if this is in their toolkit, explained Dorsey.
