• If you fall in love with a home that has a pool, but you never considered a pool, make sure you will use it and learn to care for it
• Buying a pool with a home already installed will likely take some time for you to learn how the equipment works. If it’s been installed for many years, some updates may be needed
• People who decide to have a pool installed have more time  to plan where the pool will go and what equipment they will need to care for it
• Those who plan for a pool installation can customize their pool exactly how they want it

1. Get right to the deck: Before you actually take a peek at your pool, look at the surroundings. Your pool deck may need a good scrub. Check for bushes and plants that may have grown too close to the pool.
2. Check your tools: Do you need to purchase new tools and pool chemicals? If you don’t, make sure to check all expiration dates on bottles and containers.
3. Inspect the pool: Check underwater lights, the filter, pump, tile and anything else on your list that may or may not have been damaged from the winter season.
4. Test the water: Before adding any chemicals you think your pool may need, make sure to test the water first.

How many types of pool pumps are on the market and how do I choose which one is best for me?
That’s a great question because having the correct pump for your pool can make all the difference in how much you need to maintain your water.
Here are the three main types of pumps:

• Single-speed pump: Offers one speed and is usually controlled by a timer. While the timer does the work for you, there isn’t an option to lower the speed to save energy costs.
• Two-speed pump: Has a high speed and low-speed switch that can help you control energy costs.
• Variable-speed pumps: Allows you to change the flow rate of the water.

We recommend in-ground equipment from Hayward.

• Build family memories: Whether it’s a pool party of a lazy afternoon in the sun, a pool is the perfect place to gather around.
• Great form of exercise: You can skip the gym and use your pool as a low-impact form of exercise.
• It’s your vacation spot: When you’ve had a long day at work, your pool will be the place you’ll want to unwind.
• Make a good impression: When selling your home, potential buyers could be truly impressed by your pool amenity and which could help close the deal.
• It’s great for your kids: Teens will want to hang out with their friends (which means they’ll be closer to home) and kids will play until they tire out.

My family is looking to buy a home soon with a pool in the backyard. What are some items we should look for during the process?

We’re excited to hear your family is interested in purchasing a new home (and pool). Many homeowners believe pools add value to their property and provide an outdoor space for families to make memories. 

While you’re on the hunt, here are a few things to ask:

– What was the estimate monthly maintenance charge for the pool?

– How old is the pool?

– When was the last time the pool has been cleaned/maintained?

– Is a pool fence required for safety?

Additionally, once you’ve discovered a home you’d like to put an offer on, you’ll want to find an inspector familiar with pool maintenance.
