After a long, hard day at work, people want to come home, relax, and unwind. A backyard pool allows them to do exactly this, which is why many people choose to take on this home improvement project. They know they will get hours of enjoyment from the pool, and it offers an attraction for friends and family who wish to gather. However, before a homeowner has a pool installed, they must know the options available to them. In addition, they need to understand the process and steps involved. This ensures the project runs smoothly from start to finish and they end up with a pool they love and want to use regularly. Pool OptionsIn-ground pools come in three basic types: concrete or gunite, fiberglass, and vinyl. Each option features advantages and disadvantages the homeowner must recognize. The following information provides a general overview of the pros and cons of each type.
Concrete or Gunite PoolsWhen using concrete, homeowners find they can create a custom shape for their pool. Custom features, such as a tanning ledge or extremely deep pool, also become possible when they select this option. Tanning ledges is great when you have kids at home and for your visitors because it gives a safe place for your little ones while enjoying the pool. Furthermore, the concrete holds up well in the elements and can withstand wear and tear. Families often find this becomes of great importance, as their family and friends gather around the water feature or their children invite everyone they know for a dip in the pool.
While concrete cannot match the durability of a fiberglass pool with a gel coat surface, people love this option because they know their furry companions can take a dip with them without harming the pool. They find they are willing to accept the drawbacks seen with concrete or gunite swimming pools to get these benefits. However, every person must know all drawbacks associated with concrete or gunite pools before deciding which option best meets their needs. Concrete serves as a porous surface, which means algae will thrive if allowed to take up residence in the pool. The owner needs to clean the sides of the pool with a steel brush to prevent this from happening. In addition, the owner must monitor the water chemistry to ensure the algae don’t make their way into the pool. If the algae make their way into the pool surface, the owner must purchase strong chemicals to reach the embedded algae and destroy them. As a result, they pay more for the pleasure of owning a backyard pool. An alkaline-based product, concrete raises the pH of the pool water. To account for this, the owner must regularly add acid to the water to maintain the right balance. The owner cannot convert the pool to saltwater, as any dissolved salt reduces the lifespan of the pool’s interior finish. This increases the cost of pool ownership, something many individuals wish to avoid. Concrete pools cost $50,000 and up to install. Furthermore, they require acid washing every three to five years. Add to this the cost of running the pool in terms of electricity, chemicals, and more. This reason leads many to consider the options available to them, and there are others. Many men and women don’t like the rough feel of a concrete pool. Children often have to wear water shoes to prevent blisters and sores on their feet if they use the pool regularly. Finally, concrete or gunite pools take time to install. In fact, the process can take months, which many people find doesn’t meet their needs. They look into fiberglass or vinyl liner pools to avoid these issues. Once a person decides if concrete or gunite isn’t right for their needs, their attention turns to fiberglass or vinyl. Fiberglass remains the preferred choice of many, as it requires little maintenance thanks to its surface porosity. The gel-coat or surface of the pool isn’t porous, so algae have nowhere to hide. This type of pool requires fewer chemicals, and the pool is inert and doesn’t affect the pH of the water. Thanks to these benefits, pool owners find they spend significantly less time maintaining their pool and more time enjoying it. Fiberglass poolsFiberglass swimming pools take little time to install. In fact, manufacturers construct the pool shell off-site. When it arrives on-site, it can be up and running in a few days. This means the owner gets full use of their property in less time, and they can swim almost immediately.
Fiberglass pools lack a liner, so any worries about punctures are eliminated. Vinyl liners come with a high price tag and remain prone to damage, so many people feel fiberglass serves as the best option. They can use it daily without worrying about harming it. In the past, people often overlooked fiberglass pools because of their lack of aesthetic appeal. Manufacturers recognized this and made changes. Today, a person finds they have countless options with their pool, so it won’t look out of place on their property. It blends in with the overall landscape. Today, the owner can select from visually appealing finishes, opt for ceramic time, add pool lights, and more. The options today have allowed fiberglass pools to gain a larger share of the market. Furthermore, men and women who prefer a pool that doesn’t require the use of chlorine love having a fiberglass option as it works with salt chlorinators. These chlorinators require little maintenance while providing high water quality. Salt damages vinyl and concrete, so anyone looking to use a salt chlorinator system will need to invest in fiberglass pools shell. A fiberglass pool comes with a better resale value than vinyl or concrete versions. However, vinyl liners require replacement every five to nine years, and these pools often lack visual appeal. Concrete pools require significant maintenance, and many people don’t want to commit to that task. Fiberglass pools add beauty to the property, last for an extended period, and require little maintenance. Many people find this serves as the best option for their property after learning about these advantages. Furthermore, the low lifetime cost of ownership associated with fiberglass pools allows individuals to spend their hard-earned money on other things that also bring them enjoyment.

Vinyl PoolsPeople with a limited budget who wish to have a backyard pool often choose vinyl. This remains the most affordable of the three choices, typically running between $35,000 and $65,000.
Men and women frequently express surprise when learning they can customize the shape of their vinyl pool, as some current pool owners have told them this isn’t possible. Most pools of this type are rectangular, but the owner receives the option of choosing the shape, size, and depth. While these increase the cost of the vinyl pool, the price still comes in less than one would pay for a fiberglass or gunite pool. However, vinyl pools come with some drawbacks a person must know before deciding which option is right for their needs and property. Vinyl liners cost a significant amount of money, and the liner needs replacement regularly. The average liner today lasts anywhere from five to nine years and costs thousands to replace. The replacement cost includes the liner, the labor to replace it, the water needed to fill the pool, and any other expenses associated with carrying out this task. As a result, the owner might find they spend more in the first ten years of vinyl pool ownership than they would have invested when selecting a fiberglass pool. Over the life of the pool, they spend considerably than if they had opted for fiberglass. However, those on a limited budget might find it easier to spread the cost of ownership out over several years and choose vinyl for this reason. People often refer to the vinyl liner warranty when discussing which option best meets their needs. Many companies include a 20-year warranty with their products, but buyers need to read the fine print carefully. Often, the warranty only covers areas where materials come together, such as at the seams. Most companies don’t cover any expenses associated with replacing the liner, such as the water and labor, and they prorate the warranty. This means a person will recoup a significant amount of the cost in the first few years of ownership. Over time, however, the amount covered by the warranty decreases, and the owner must cover the difference. Furthermore, vinyl pools come with the risk of algae. While the surface of the liner remains non-porous, other portions of the pool provide areas suited for algae growth. This includes the area where the plastic steps connect to the pool wall and behind lights where water cannot circulate. When algae grow in these areas, it can spread to the pool water and lead to the need for treatment. As a result, the owner must invest in the required supplies to combat the algae, which increases the cost of pool ownership. ZoningEach area determines its zoning requirements and building code, although they may be subject to state or federal law. For instance, some areas require setbacks from existing features, such as septic tanks. The pool company knows the requirements and codes and helps get the permits needed to carry out the installation process. This may include installing a fence and alarms on the pool. Property owners need this information before proceeding, as it may add to the cost of the pool and installation
Site SelectionWhen choosing a site for your Cape Cod pool, the property owner uses the information gleaned in the previous step. Installing a pool in Cape Cod MA is tricky because each town has it own zoning laws that vary greatly. However, they also need to determine where the pool will get the most sun, areas prone to flooding as the pool cannot be installed there, and overhead clearance. They likewise need to consider the breeze and how to position the pool so people indoors see it from the home. This allows children and guests to use the pool without someone sitting poolside at all times.
Installing the PoolOnce a property owner determines which type of pool they desire, the focus turns to the installation of the pool. First, the owner must learn the zoning laws and building codes for the area in which they live. They must select the site where the pool installation will take place, and the pool company can assist with this portion of the process. Select a circulation system and account for any additional costs associated with installing the pool, such as lighting. Finally, speak to the pool company about any desired landscaping once the pool is in place.
Circulation and Filtration SystemEvery pool requires a circulation system to prevent the water from stagnating. Individuals find they have three options available to them. Sand filters remain the most common, as they have existed for many years. However, more people today choose cartridge or diatomaceous earth systems. The pool installation team works with the client to find the appropriate choice for their needs. Your circulation and filtration will change if you choose to go salt water.
Additional CostsAdditional costs also need consideration. In order to enjoy your pool, it takes a little more than just pools and spas to make the experience such as how pools and patios compliment each other, do you need landscape lighting for evening enjoyment? Have you considered pest control measures? These includes fencing around the pool, landscape lighting, an equipment shed, pool house and more. Landscaping and pathways to the pool need inclusion in the price estimate, along with a pool cover, patio furniture for around the pool, and pool toys. Owners who consider these costs before moving forward find they don’t encounter additional expenses they must pay to get full enjoyment from their new water feature. What if you want a full outdoor living experience to include an outdoor kitchen? DO you want this as part of your pool deck or separate? These attention to details are only something you'll find in a swimming pool contractor who does landscape design and installation as well. So be sure your cape cod pool builder takes all this in to consideration for you- it will save you headaches during the process and for years to come.
Some additional items that come to mind and will need to be considered are, safety measures during pool construction, do you want a negative edge, are you part of an HOA, do they need to be consulted with, what type of safety covers appeal to you and how you plan to enjoy your pool. Choose a reputable pool company to assist with every stage of the process. The right team helps the homeowner weigh the pros and cons of each pool type and walks the customer through the entire process.
