12 Swimming Pool Types to Consider-Ⅳ
10 spools
Best for: Relaxing and socializing.
Mix the words spa and pool and you get a spool. In these years, pool builders have been doing more business for homeowners with tight budgets or some smaller properties who require water features that are smaller than a traditional pool but larger than a standard spa. Many homeowners use their pools primarily for relaxation and entertainment—to cool off with a soak on a hot day, or to enjoy a drink with friends on a fun evening. The spool might even have a directional jet that you can swim in.
Some spools are underground affairs made of poured concrete, but more commonly they are created using a large fabricated spa/whirlpool enclosure surrounded by a wide raised deck. Depending on how you outfit the spool, the cost can range from $5,000 to $20,000. Maintenance is usually easier than larger pools, but you still need to manage water chemistry and filtration equipment.
Tips:
Some spools are large enough to meet code requirements for a full-size swimming pool. Therefore, you may need to add protective fencing and meet other local code requirements.
11 salt water pool
Best for: Homeowners who like to avoid chemicals.
Popular in Australia and New Zealand for many years before making their way to other continents, saltwater pools (sometimes called ocean pools) are not a design or style of pool, but an alternative to water filtration and purification. These pools use saltwater chlorine generators to convert bulk salt into natural chlorine to kill bacteria and algae. Generators can be added during or after pool construction - standard pools can be transformed by adding key components. A saltwater chlorine generator can also be added to an above ground pool as long as it is made specifically for above ground pools.
Maintenance of these pools is similar to traditional chlorinated pools, requiring regular cleaning of pool surfaces and filtration equipment.
12 diving pool
Best for: Alternative health buffs.
Diving pools are small pools of cold water that have been used for thousands of years in Chinese medicine and were also popular with the ancient Romans. Many swimmers and athletes like to jump into the cold pool after an intense workout, sauna or spa because they believe it has therapeutic effects.
Plunge pools can be freestanding or connected to larger in-ground pools. While they may look like an average spa, cautiously dipping your toes in the pool reveals that's not the case.
How to choose a swimming pool?
Depending on your needs, the cost of adding a swimming pool can vary widely. At the low end, you can buy a kiddie pool for a few bucks with portable gaming capabilities for the kids. At the high end, you can spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a swimming pool that is used as an architectural feature or a professional-grade training feature. When choosing from these 12 options, carefully consider your needs and budget. Things to consider include:
Your Budget: Even if your budget is limited, your family can have quite a bit of fun out of a simple kiddie pool or small above ground pool. Still, if the budget allows, a large in-ground pool can add a lot to your home's real estate value.
Your Needs: A pool primarily used for fitness may be very different from a pool primarily used as a children's play area, which is very different from a pool primarily used as a social space for adults. Make sure the pool you choose meets your true needs.
Available Space: A large in-ground pool can take up most of your backyard, so consider whether a pool is the way you want to use up your backyard real estate to the exclusion of other activities like gardening or family sports. If the answer is yes, then go for it.
Maintenance Requirements: Most swimming pools require a lot of maintenance, but some require much more than others. If you're not interested in weekly cleanings, daily water testing, and all the other tasks that go into maintaining your pool, make sure your budget allows for weekly and seasonal pool care services.
DIY Requirements: While few DIYers actually build inground pools, when you find one, it's the exception that proves the rule: Few homeowners are actually capable of building an inground pool. On the other hand, many skilled and ambitious DIYers can install and maintain above-ground pools. Soft-edged pools that are installed and stowed seasonally are popular among DIYers. In climates that allow year-round use, DIYers can even build large wooden decks around above-ground pools to create the feel of an in-ground pool. If you're an energetic DIY enthusiast, you might enjoy the challenge of creating such a water feature, even if you can afford professional ground options.
