Installing a Private Swimming Pool
Swimming Pool Investment
It's a myth that you get your pool investment back when you sell your home, in fact, if it's unwanted a pool can actually be viewed as a liability. So make sure you include features - cabanas, outdoor entertaining areas, spas, lighting, temperature control, the easiest and best filters and other cleaning and maintenance tools, to make your pool as trouble free as possible. Not only will it be more attractive to potential future buyers, but if you're going to invest in a pool at all, why skimp on your own enjoyment - as well as that of all the new friends you'll have once your new swimming pool is open for business.

Swimming Pool Installation Facts

There are, today, more and more choices available to consumers who want a swimming pool. Anything from indoor and outdoor lap pools to spas, seasonal and more permanent above ground options to the traditional in-ground installation. While you can purchase swimming pools at a variety of places from your local discount and home store to retailers who specialize in swimming pools, one of the first places to start if you're planning a significant swimming pool project is your local building department. They can tell you what regulations and restrictions there are concerning swimming pools. Most communities require fencing and other safety measures to protect small children from accidentally wandering into your swimming pool. There also may be issues concerning the site where you're planning on installing your swimming pool, from soil condition to underground wiring and pipes.
Anything much above the kind of swimming pool you can buy at your discount or home store, and you'll be doing yourself a tremendous favor by seeking out a reputable local swimming pool dealer. Your swimming pool supplier usually can provide you with a wide variety of options from large above ground options with decking and other features to a simple lap pool to a magical in-ground paradise with fountains and waterfalls and a floating bar. As a rule of thumb a very basic in ground swimming pool or quality lap pool will start at around $20,000 and go rapidly up from there. If you want a pool mostly for the ability to take that morning or after work plunge and swim laps for fitness, a lap pool is for you.
Swimming Pool Designs and Installation
Natural Swimming Pool

Natural swimming pools rely on the correct balance of living plants and micro-organisms to clean and purify the water. A natural swimming pool is easy and less costly to maintain than chemical pools. Chlorine and other common pool chemicals that are hazardous to human health are not used. Natural pools are safe places for children to play and birds to drink, and are a dramatic example of ecological design, combining the natural and man-made worlds while creating beauty. Natural swimming pools offer enjoyment not only in the warm months, but during winter, when they can be used for ice skating. Often the focal point of a garden, a natural swimming pool blends into the environment, flowing into the surroundings with plants and rocks. It reflects the changing seasons and enhances the environment naturally. This book is a necessary resource for people who are considering a natural swimming pool. It shows how the natural system works to provide environmental, health, and safety benefits. Drawings, diagrams, and charts help explain their planning, design, biology, materials, construction, planting, and maintenance. Over 300 beautiful color photographs of natural pools will inspire your own water garden, where you can swim in harmony with nature.

- We have an inground pool that is octagon shaped. It is very attractive, but makes for a lot of corners to clean. That might be a consideration if one is designing their own pool. If I had a do-over I would go with curved lines. Good lens and subject.

- Love the extra touch about waterfalls and how the noise can be so tranquil. Not only that, I've always found myself wanted to stand under the waterfall and simply unwind. Zoom-out. Disconnect from everything out there and live the moment. Man, swimming pools can be so relaxing.
