# SwimScapes RDU > Pool Service for Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill and surrounding areas ## Posts - [Pool Inspections](https://swimscapes.net/pool-inspections/): Why Swimming Pool Inspections are Essential Swimming pool inspections play a crucial role in maintaining the safety and integrity of any pool environment. By addressing potential hazards and ensuring compliance with regulations, inspections help prevent accidents, injuries, and even fatalities. Thorough inspections can identify risks such as weak or broken ladders, malfunctioning pool covers, and slippery surfaces. These safety measures are indispensable in averting unfortunate incidents, thus ensuring a secure environment for all users. Apart from safety, swimming pool inspections are vital for the early detection of issues that could lead to costly repairs. Detecting problems such as leaks, pump […] - [Considerations of All Types of Pool/Spa Sanitizers](https://swimscapes.net/aperiam-commodi-reiciendis-enim-soluta/): Custom designed swimming pools are all individually unique in their shape and size, but what’s not unique is the need for proper sanitation of the water.  There is A LOT of information on the Web relating to how to properly sanitize pool water but how do you know what’s applicable to your specific situation?  Keep reading and perhaps you will see the answer you are looking to find. First, lets discuss the different types of chlorine. Sodium Hypochlorite is commonly known as liquid chlorine or ‘bleach’ as it is sometimes called.  “Sodium hypochlorite is an alkaline inorganic chemical compound with […] - [Is weekly pool service something I need?](https://swimscapes.net/sint-quia-ut-aspernatur/): Owning a pool can be a lot of work, especially if you are not aware of the basic requirements that need to be met in order to have a safe swimming environment.  There is a lot more involved than most people may realize.  The internet is full of ‘resources’ but many only want you to use their ‘free’ system only to have to purchase their chemicals in order to fully take advantage of their technology.  Beware of these and any other ‘proprietary’ systems as the basic pool chemicals needed are not patented and are readily available in their pure form […] - [How do I know if I have a leak?](https://swimscapes.net/et-dolorem-velit-ipsa-aut/): Early in my pool career, I once heard a very seasoned pool company owner tell a customer “all pools leak, its just a matter of whether you can live with the leak or if you want to have it found and fixed.”  To this day that is a disturbing response to a homeowner that just had their pool project finished and was questioning the water level. As service professionals, we always pay attention to the pools we service and look for signs of a leaky pool based on chemical usage, water level each week, whether the ‘auto-fill’ is working or […] ## Pages - [Above Ground Pools](https://swimscapes.net/above-ground-pools/) - [Financing](https://swimscapes.net/financing/): /*! elementor – v3.22.0 – 26-06-2024 */ .elementor-heading-title{padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title[class*=elementor-size-]>a{color:inherit;font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-small{font-size:15px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-medium{font-size:19px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-large{font-size:29px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xl{font-size:39px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xxl{font-size:59px} Financing Options /*! elementor – v3.22.0 – 26-06-2024 */ .elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=”.svg”]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block} - [Our Blog](https://swimscapes.net/our-blog/): Our Blog Swim Scapes Blog - [Contact Us](https://swimscapes.net/contact-us/): Get In Touch Let us know how we can help!
