It was found that most portable pools are very similar; the only main difference was how the pools are made. The manufacturing of these pools might create better appeal to the consumer. Most pools are made to be taken down and set up quickly, and can be done by the average team of 3 people. A down fall to these pools is that they do not have a long life expectancy.

Swimming Pool

When purchasing a pool, there are many things that must be taken into account, and money seems to be the easiest (although perhaps the most important) of all; either you have enough or you do not.

In addition to funds, a lot of thought and planning are required in a variety of considerations, such as quality, safety, operational costs, maintenance, shape, style, material, etc.

Particular thought must be given to the climate in which the pool is to be constructed, and how the adverse weather in such an area could affect it.

Insurance must be considered as well. Much money is usually spent in the purchase of a pool, and it is a good idea to protect such an investment. Also, liability and injury must be planned for.

It is also important to realize that the cost of the pool includes more than the purchase price. It encompasses maintenance, costs for such items as chemicals, cleaning supplies, toys, games, and other accessories.

Another thing about which to think carefully is who. Consideration must be given to choose a contractor with a license, credentials, and insurance, and whose reputation withstands a little scrutiny. It is a good idea to get several estimates from various companies.

Consider also the cost of landscaping and location. The costs involved are often hidden, and a little more pricey than expected.

Pool type must also be planned. There are many options to choose from: inflatable, exercise pools, above-ground pools, in-ground pools, and other such options.
