Essential Tips For Buying Your Dream Pool

Whether you want to create an easy exercise opportunity or gathering place in your backyard for family and friends, adding a pool to your home is an exciting endeavor. Before you dive in, consider these tips to ensure a smooth pool-buying process.

Choose Your Style

Consider which kind of pool you prefer. Pool styles fall into two major categories:

 Geometric/traditional: These pools provide a neat, classy look with clean, straight lines.

 Free-form/natural: These pools offer a more relaxed, natural look and feature smooth flowing curves and natural shapes.

When it comes to aesthetics, plaster with longer warranties is a good investment, while certain glass tiles may not be worth the investment as they could cost $100 or more per square foot with installation.

Technology And Pool Design

 Automation: Automation control features like lights and pumps can be accessed from your phone. Ask your pool builder about the many different types of automation.

 Circulation: Pool builders can design the circulation system to create a safer, more energy efficient pool that is easier to take care of.

 Pool Maintenance: All pools are chlorine pools; it comes down to the type of chlorine and how much you use. You can add a UV light or ozone system to help keep the water clean while using less chlorine.

Do Your Research

Start collecting photos of swimming pools you like and dislike and checking out friends’ pools for design inspiration. It’s also important to talk with friends and neighbors about their pool-buying experiences. Do some basic Googling on the pool building process and download this document: texvetcustompools.com/10-steps-to-theperfect-pool.

The ins and outs of pool construction can also vary dramatically depending on where you live when it comes to soil conditions and any neighborhood restrictions. Size, slopes, and local codes and public utility easements all affect the design.

PREPARE FOR A FACE-TO-FACE MEETING

It’s time to schedule your pool consultation! Make sure you set aside around an hour of time, and it is helpful if all decision makers attend the meeting. Don’t forget to have your pool inspiration photos and a copy of your property survey – digital or paper. Trust your pool designer when they say they can fulfill your request for a certain feature or if they say it will not fit your yard or budget.

Happy swimming!
