Renovating a pool is an essential aspect of pool maintenance, ensuring longevity and safety for swimmers. However, the conventional method of draining the pool during renovations can be a cumbersome and expensive process.

Enter the Pool Bladder™ from Kayden Manufacturing, a premium manufacturer of vinyl pool liners and safety covers, who say this cost-effective solution is transforming the way pool contractors approach pool renovations.

To get a better idea of how the Pool Bladder™ is changing the industry, we spoke with Jim Dorsey Director of Sales for Kayden

Manufacturing who gave us some insight as to how this product is enabling pool contractors to save valuable time and money.

What is a Pool Bladder?

“Quite simply, the Pool Bladder™ is a temporary water storage solution,” said Dorsey, who says the product is ideal for use when performing renovations.

”Often times the water is crystal clear and fully chlorinated and the pool just needs a new liner or repairs. Whatever the case might be, the homeowner does not want to lose that water,” explained Dorsey, “water isn’t cheap to have delivered, and neither are the chemicals. So what do you do with 30,000 gallons of water? Where are you going to put that?”

Why Use One?

Traditional pool renovations often require draining the pool completely, which can be a timeconsuming and costly endeavor. Contractors need to pump out thousands of gallons of water, leading to increased utility bills and significant downtime for the pool.

Not only does this inconvenience the pool owner and disrupt regular pool usage, but it also hampers the contractor’s ability to efficiently complete the project. The need for refilling and balancing the pool chemicals further extends the time and effort involved in the renovation process.

“I live in the mountains of northern New Jersey where everybody is on well water. I have a well and just replaced the pump a few months ago. My well can’t fill a 20,000-gallon pool. There’s just no way. The pool bladder could definitely be a viable option in situations like that,” said Dorsey.

For those pool owners using a well as their water supply, draining a pool to perform renovations and refilling it can seriously deplete their water supply. The process could leave a homeowner with inadequate water for essential needs. Using a Pool Bladder™ would certainly make sense in this instance as it conserves well water and save the additional costs of hiring a water truck to refill the pool.

Why The Pool Bladder Makes Sense

The product has been a hit primarily with pool contractors who often purchase several bladders to use while performing liner installations. “Installers can double their workload quite manageably with a Pool Bladder™.

Whether you’re pumping the water out and saving it, or you’re staging the water ahead of time when you go to cut out that liner and measure the pool with the homeowner’s garden hose, either way, that water is going in faster. The liner is getting stretched. The vacs are coming out. You’re getting a check in your hand and you’re on your way to the next job,” said Dorsey.

“A savvy homeowner who is looking at the bottom line thinking, ‘How much is it going to cost me to get new water delivered and rebalance the water as opposed to what might I pay to rent a bladder?’. There’s definitely a cost savings there contractors can pass along to the customer if they have this in their toolkit,” explained Dorsey.

Ultimately the Kayden Pool Bladder™ is an innovative solution that not only benefits pool professionals but also promotes environmental consciousness.

For pool professionals, the cost-saving advantages are evident. Refilling a pool with water delivery trucks or using the city’s water supply can be expensive for both the professional and their clients. By utilizing the Pool Bladder™ to store and reuse pool water during liner replacements, pool professionals can provide a value-added service while being resourceful and environmentally responsible.
