With St. Patrick’s Day on the horizon, a pool party would make for a great and memorable gathering for all your friends and family. While you may be tempted to color the water of your pool green for a more festive backdrop for your party, it is not recommended. It can be unhealthy for the pool because it may alter the balance of the chlorine and pH levels of the pool.
Don’t worry though; there are many other ways you can ignite a festive spirit for your St. Patrick’s Day pool party with a few of these simple tricks.
Festive Snacks
Instead of using the colored dye in the pool water, use it for the food and drinks at the party instead. Green drinks and green snacks such as pretzels, jello, cake, and cookies are all delicious ways to bring the St. Patrick’s Day spirit into the mix.
Fun and Colorful Decorations
The green can also be used in the various decorations you place poolside. From spunky leprechaun cutouts to the green crepe paper and shamrocks, there are many ways you can decorate the pool area.
Using some ambient lighting is also an effective way to decorate the pool area for a party and will even help keep the party going by lighting up the area as the sun begins to set. It is a creative way to tie the other décor together and create more of a fun experience all around for party goers.
It is also a cost-effective solution if you utilize LED lights and you can save on your energy consumption as well.
Before you break out the dye and possibly damage your pool, you should first consult with a pool company in Phoenix to see what your options are when it comes to using lighting instead of dye to color the pool.
