3 Reasons Your Pool Needs an Outdoor Shower

 When you go to a public pool, there’s almost always a shower nearby with signs requiring that you rinse off before entering the pool. This is done to keep the pool water cleaner. And, if you think this isn’t necessary at your home swimming pool, think again!   

Swimmers can bring lots of dirt, oils, lotions, and more along with them, and none are good for your water. In fact, since residential pools tend to be smaller, contaminants can have a more damaging effect than they would in a large public pool. Thus, by having an outdoor shower, you can keep your water healthier. Plus, you’ll enjoy plenty of other benefits as well.

Get Clean

When you step out of the pool, your body is loaded down with chlorine and other pool chemicals, whether you realize it or not. Having a shower nearby gives you a way to quickly wash off once you’re done swimming. That way, the chlorine won’t have time to cause eye or skin irritation, and you won’t have to rush inside. You can get your shower done and then relax poolside until you’re dry, all without worrying about how your hair or skin are being affected.

Protect Property

Washing and drying off outside means you and your family members won’t drip water inside. Everyone has seen those tell-tale wet spots on a chair or couch from where a child sat down in a wet swimsuit. In some cases, the chlorine they’re carrying can even discolor furniture. By insisting everyone do their cleaning off outside, you can avoid issues like these.

Keep Your Bathroom Clean

Finally, when you offer an outdoor shower, guests won’t need to use your indoor shower! This means no hogging the bathroom and no bathroom messes to clean up. Most homeowners, if they’re being honest, would rather skip sharing their indoor showers. Fortunately, offering an outdoor shower allows you to do just that!

As you can see, an outdoor shower can be incredibly convenient. Even better yet, it typically doesn’t cost much to install either, especially if you just want something simple. So, with that said, what are you waiting for? Start searching for a great poolside shower right away.
