by In the summer months, nothing is more enjoyable than having a cooling source of entertainment right in your own back yard. For those that do not have the means to dig a huge hole in the yard, there are many choices that may be the right for you. There are many reasons that home owners prefer one that is not underground and can be assembled easily on a leveled spot in the yard.
One of the main reasons people would rather not have an underground type is the price. It can run many thousands of dollars to have one installed. With the availability and price of the above ground type can be costly but it is still a fraction of the price of a professionally installed one.
Another reason is that a lot of people rent the dwelling and the land it sits on. Being that you have to own the land before you can have one installed underground, that prohibits many from trying to dig a place for it. If it is a rental, the structure cannot be dug up and taken with the tenants when they decide to leave. If the landlord wants it, they would be responsible for the installation and up keep.
Not only are above ground pools affordable to most people, there are many different models and makers to choose from. The prices range from a little over one hundred dollars to upwards of five hundred dollars or more. The price usually depends on the sides and features, as well as extras that are included in many models.
They usually come with the necessary liner, braces and pumps necessary to have a safe place to play in the water on hot days. Many brands include tools that help keep the water clear and the pool clean. However, it is necessary to purchase the right chemicals to keep a healthy balance of chlorine and ph balance. There are also kits designed to help pinpoint any problems they may arise due to weather, sun and other contaminants.
Beautiful styles and different sizes can be found at most retail and department store, as well as online at many different sites specializing in above ground pools. The chemicals needed can usually be found at the same places they are purchased. This makes it easier to have what is needed to keep the water beautiful, healthy and clear.
As with anything that stays out in the elements of weather, a regular cleaning is needed to allow the chemicals to do their job efficiently. Without the correct balance, it can cause irritated skin and breathing. Be sure to read the label for the instructions for any chemicals and testing kits.
To find the above ground swimming pool that will suit you and your family, as well as fit in the area designated for it, you might have to do a little shopping around. Larger department stores have a wide variety of styles and sizes. Most can be assembled by one or two people and be ready to enjoy when the water is added.
