Pools are always a hit, especially for little kids. Adults enjoy them very much as well. There are public and private pools. Public pools are those used by many people or by the general public. Pools, which are used exclusively by a few people in their homes or clubs, are referred to as private pools. Health clubs, fitness centers and private clubs have pools that are used mainly for exercise. Massage parlors and hotels, on the other hand, have pools that are mainly for recreation.

Pools have many add-ons and features, like pool lights and pool ladder. They should be cleaned using a Kreepy Krauly or other devices. Pools can be simple, elaborate or completely out of this world, depending on the design and the budget. Let us start by knowing the two types of pools. In-ground swimming pool prices vary widely. You could have a decent sized pool installed for as little as $12,000. Other pools may reach 6 figures and upwards depending on the materials.

There are 2 types of pools, namely, above ground pools and in-ground pools. The main difference between the two types of pools largely depends on how the basin is constructed.

Above Ground Pools.

These have the cheapest in-ground pools prices to construct and he easiest to build. Most of this type of pool is made from prefabricated kits. Amateurs can put this together but more people opt to hire professionals to do it for them. The disadvantage to this type is it is less durable than other designs and it is not very attractive. It is easy to disassemble and move to a new location.

In-ground Pools

These pools seem like a solid, unmovable structure. However, it is more like a boat. It floats in the surrounding ground water. The ground water pressure can actually push the structure out of the ground when the pool is empty. This is one of the many reasons why it as to be filled with water all year round.

There needs to be equal pressure on each side of the pool. Most  hk pools  modern pools of this kind have a special hydrostatic valve near the main drain. This guards against damage from ground water pressure. If ground water pressure is enough, it will push up on a small float, which opens the valve. When the valve opens, ground water flows in and equalizes the pressure.

Types of In-Ground Pools

· Vinyl-lined Pools. This is one of the simplest types of in-ground pools to build. It is somewhat similar structurally to an above ground pool. What contractors do to install this is to dig a hole in the backyard. A frame is then constructed around the border of the hole and then a layer of san d is placed in the bottom. Lastly, he vinyl layer is secured to the frame. This takes anywhere between 1-3 weeks to build. Vinyl in-ground swimming pools prices may be costly because the kit includes things like framing, steel walls and the vinyl liner itself. However, they are very quick and easy to install. Most vinyl-lined pools are available with a starting price of $7,000 upwards.

· Fiberglass pools. The shell of this kind of pool is built before the pool itself arrives. The pool itself is constructed in a factory and it is delivered to the house in one piece. Before installing the pool, the ground is dug out, plumbing s laid and sand is poured into the bottom of the pool hole. The pool, which looks somewhat like a bathtub, is lowered into the hole. The pool is then leveled before being connected to the plumbing. Pools of this type can be built in just 2 weeks. Fiberglass in-ground pool prices range from $10,000to $17,000 for a small one and from $13,000 to $18,000 for a big one.
