An inground pool can be a wonderful luxury for any homeowner looking to provide both a place of entertainment and exercise right on his own property. It’s important to work with a professional pool contractor because most cities have zoning, building and safety and grading requirements.

An inground pool is something that will be a permanent fixture, so take your time deciding on just the right spot. The best location is a sunny patch that doesn’t have nearby trees or overhanging tree boughs that will constantly shed leaves and debris into the pool. You also want a location that is within easy access of your house and easy to see from your home for security’s sake. Don’t forget to leave room for a storage compartment or shed where all the pool maintenance supplies can be kept.

An inground pool cannot be constructed under any sort of electrical lines or over any sort of water pipes or sewer lines, so be sure you know the location of existing underground gas, sewer and water lines before digging begins. Be sure that the pool location is not in a low-lying area that typically floods during rainstorms or after winter thaw.

No matter whether you choose a concrete pool, a vinyl-lined pool or one with pre-formed fiberglass construction, an inground pool requires drains, returns, chemical feeders, pumps and filters in order to operate properly. Special features you may want to consider at the time the inground pool is installed rather than adding these later include decks, screen enclosures, fiber optic lighting and special landscaping effects such as waterfalls or flower gardens. You must also decide if you want an inground pool that will accommmodate diving since this configuration accommodates much deeper water at one end. Also consider if you want an inground jacuzzi placed adjacent to the swimming pool.

Some local ordinances require that Fencing surround any inground Swimming Pools for insurance purposes and to safely protect unwanted visitors, children, pets and roaming wildlife from gaining access to the pool when not in use. It’s also a smart idea to incorporate a built-in swimming pool cover into your inground pool budget because this will provide savings in water heating costs as well as a protection from wind blown debris during inclement weather and the winter season.
