enovating 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.

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.
