5 Things to Consider Before Installing a Pool

September 19, 2019

A swimming pool is one of the installations that dream homes are made of; however, they are a significant investment that requires proper planning before you construct one.

If your main reason for constructing a pool is to show off to your friends, you need to reconsider. A swimming pool significantly changes the landscape of your backyard. It can also bring more fun, entertainment, and relaxation in your life. That said, here are the things you should consider before constructing a swimming pool.

 

What do you want? A spa or a pool?

Before you decide, it is advisable to consult your family and see what they prefer. You might want a pool while the rest of your family wants a spa. During these consultations, everybody should have the opportunity to voice their opinions and give some reasons why they prefer a particular option. It is preferable to proceed once you have reached a consensus among your family members.

 

  1. The type of swimming pool

After reaching an agreement with your family that you need a swimming pool, the next step is choosing the type of pool as there are several options to consider. The most popular options are vinyl-lined, fibreglass, and concrete pools. Make sure that you know the pros and cons of each type before you start construction. The qualified experts at Blue Haven can offer more insights and help you in choosing the best fit for your backyard.

 

  1. Budget and Time Constraints

Your budget dictates the choice of pool you can build in your home.

If you have the budget, you can build an in-ground pool and add custom features such as waterfalls, plunges, and fountains.

 

If you want a quick installation, vinyl-lined and fibreglass pools are the best option. The only problem with these options is their vulnerability to high temperatures. Concrete pools are custom-built, and they take a bit longer to construct, but they are also more durable and less likely to incur damage resulting from hot conditions. Nonetheless, the experts at Blue Haven are known for their speedy construction of concrete pools.

  1. Check Out the Circulation System

Regardless of type, every swimming pool needs a reliable circulation system. It ensures that the water remains clean, fresh, and sparkling throughout.

Thanks to technological advancements, you can easily get efficient and automated circulation systems. Some options support heating so that you can use your pool during the cold months. Always seek professional assistance to make sure that you purchase the best circulation system for your pool.

  1. Landscaping

The area around your pool should be spacious and beautifully presented so that you enjoy the sun while swimming. Finding a reliable pool landscaping service to design a concept that suits your needs and style is essential to enhance your pool.

 

  1. How long are you staying there?

Finally, consider the duration you plan to spend in your current home. If you are settled and don’t plan on moving anytime soon, you can build the pool with little worries. However, if you think it is likely you will move in the near future then it is best you consider how much value the pool will add to your home, and if it is a wise investment.
