5 Tips for Planning Your Future Pool

The crisp days of fall are upon us, which means that winter isn’t far behind. However, just because it’s getting colder doesn’t mean that you can’t start dreaming of fun in the sun. Here at Orange County Pools & Spas, we’ve been in the pool business for over half a century, and we’re proud to share that knowledge with you. Here are five tips for planning your future pool.

Tip 1: Budget Breakdown

You’ll first want to make a budget for your future pool. This will help you narrow down your pool choices. In addition, with a budget in place, planning further down the line for any possible changes is much easier. No matter your budget, Orange County Pools is committed to providing our customers with the highest quality pools and service.

Tip 2: Location, Location, Location

The next tip is to decide generally where you’d like your future pool to go. Depending on the amount of space you have available, you can install an above ground pool, an in-ground pool, or a partially in-ground pool. Deciding on a location means you can narrow down your pool choices as an early step. Luckily, we offer a wide variety of pools with something suitable for practically any type of backyard.

As you search for the proper location, it can also be helpful to think about any trees or other greenery in your backyard. This will assist you in planning for privacy and shade. Furthermore, you can also account for the amount of space needed for the pool’s plumbing system and avoid tree roots.

Tip 3: Think About Function

What size and shape of pool will you want? This question is one that should be answered as you plan your future pool. If you want a pool designed for exercise or laps, you’ll need more space for the extended length. On the opposite end, if you desire a pool for relaxing or having small gatherings, the amount of space required will of course be different. Orange County Pools offers pools made for diving, laps, and everything in between, including gradual depth for those younger swimmers.

Tip 4: Personalize Your Pool

When planning your future pool, you’ll want to personalize it. And don’t worry; we have you covered there too. No matter what style or color you want, you can be sure that your pool will have a personal touch. From the shape of the pool to the material and color, you can find the perfect pool to fit your aesthetic.

Tip 5: Maintenance Musings

The final tip is this: consider pool upkeep. Every pool has different plumbing, filtration, and sanitization systems associated with it. This, in turn, means different time commitments and costs for upkeep and maintenance. Think about what systems will work best for you and your lifestyle.
