The average cost to build a 600-square-foot in-ground pool is $30,000 with other aesthetic features bringing it up to six figures. Choose between concrete and fiberglass with vinyl liners and know that these liners and the edging need changing every 10 years.

A good pump, switched on at non-peak hours, costs $1500 and can use 80% less energy. Electric heaters are less expensive and need less maintenance but take longer to heat than gas heaters. Use a solar blanket to keep in heat and reduce evaporation.

Maintain the pool’s water by allocating $600-$1200 for cleaning depending on how you clean.

Keep your investment reasonable but increase your liability in you insurance policy.
