LOOP-LOC, Manufacturer of Safety Pool Covers, Shares 6 Tips to Reduce The Cost of an Inground Pool
HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., Jan. 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Building a personal outdoor oasis can be one of the most exciting parts of owning a home, but there are a lot of costs to be considered at the start of and throughout the pool construction process. These costs are usually worth the end product, but LOOP-LOC, manufacturer of safety pool covers, knows that everybody still wants a chance to save some money. They've compiled a list of 6 tips, shared below, to tell you how to reduce the cost of building and maintaining your beautiful new inground swimming pool.
Building Your Pool:
1. Locate a dealer near you. You'll find that pool price quotes can vary between different companies when you start the building process. As in any business, it's good to compare your offers directly, especially when it's a big purchase like a swimming pool. Once you are ready to begin building your pool, locate a LOOP-LOC dealer near you to discuss pool liner and safety pool cover options that best suit your budget and vision.
2. Be realistic about size. Think about what you're going to use your pool for, how often, and what can fit in your yard comfortably. If you don't need a deep end, forgo it and save a ton of water in the process. If your current pool plans take up half of your yard space, then you might want to consider sizing down.
3. Let go of the fancy features. As cool as a water fountain or water slide would be to have, these special features can add significant sums to the final bill. If you're trying to avoid these extra costs, then you'll have to forgo the fancy stuff that drives up costs.
Maintaining Your Pool:
4. Invest in a variable speed pump. While the initial price tag of a variable speed pump may not seem penny-pincher friendly, the yearly energy cost savings pay off the pump quickly, and then you get the benefit of a more efficient, paid-off pool pump that works great.
5. Keep a good maintenance schedule. Making sure that your pool is taken care of on a regular schedule is key to saving money in chemicals. Taking the time to stay on track and maintain your pool bit by bit each week will ensure you don't need to suddenly triple shock your pool when it gets green or run to the store for a few doses of algaecide when you could've prevented its appearance with regular maintenance.
6. Install LED Lighting. Installing underwater LED lighting will not only make your pool a safer space at night, but it will save you energy costs when compared to traditional pool lights. Plus, LED's last longer than traditional light bulbs, so you'll have to buy less frequently, saving you even more bucks.
Following some of the tips above are sure to let you find an extra few bucks in your pocket, instead of having your pool drain all of the money out of your bank account.
