If you live in a house with yard space, the temptation to take the plunge and install a pool so that you can actually, well, take a plunge, can be as strong as chlorine. If temptation wins out, here are some things to consider. <\/p>\n

Permission
\n<\/strong>First things, first: get that all-important permit. Your contractor can obtain one on your behalf from the Building and Construction Authority<\/a> (BCA). This is necessary if your in-ground pool is deeper than 1.5m. Processing the paperwork takes about 7 working days and costs approximately $300.<\/p>\n

Longevity
\n<\/strong>If you own the home in which you want to install a pool you will likely want to take this investment more seriously as you have the opportunity to design and build a custom pool in various hard-wearing and attractive materials. Whether it be a concrete lap pool with waterfall feature, or an Italian tiled horizon look, a custom pool will be more expensive and add value to your property. If you are renting, your options will be more fixed and these pools are designed to be removed when you leave the premises.<\/p>\n

Material<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vinyl
\n<\/em>The foundations of a vinyl pool are made out of concrete, galvanised steel, structural foam or pressure-treated wood and the vinyl refers to the 20mm-30mm thick liner that acts as a membrane. This is the one to consider if you\u2019re renting as they are suitable for above-ground installation. That means no digging is required, which reduces the cost and makes it easier to reinstate the property when you vacate. Even if you\u2019re after a permanent pool, a vinyl version is worth considering if you\u2019re budget-conscious as it\u2019s cheaper than poured concrete and provides more flexibility than fiberglass. A major plus if you have small children, is that the non-slip and algae-resistant quality makes it a safe and healthy option too. Installation takes about a week. Tears can be a bit costly to repair so it\u2019s important to treat the liner gently and make sure it\u2019s well-fitted.<\/p>\n

Fibreglass
\n<\/i>A single fiberglass shell is also a consideration if you\u2019re renting as these can be installed above-ground. There is less flexibility though and most come in fairly standard shapes so just make sure the dimensions of the pool fit the dimensions of your available space as they can\u2019t be customized. They\u2019re more hardy than vinyl, so if your kids like a bit of rough and tumble they might be worth the extra expense. Installation time varies and can take up to a month.<\/p>\n

Concrete<\/em>
\nIf you\u2019re a home-owner and want complete control over the aesthetics of your pool, then poured concrete is a good choice. For an investment like this you will probably want to engage designers and landscapers as this option involves the surrounding area where the pool is to be situated as well, and how the pool integrates and functions within the entire property. The inside surface can be painted or tiled. Installation can take roughly 2 to 4 months because the concrete needs to set and tile-work be laid.<\/p>\n

Water<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chlorine
\n<\/em>It used to be a given that our swimmers would last one season before the chlorine had faded and eaten our lycra so much that they were hanging by a thread. Chlorine is no longer the only option available, as it was back in the 80\u2019s but it does have its benefits, or namely one: it kills bacteria and algae. A chlorinated pool will keep the swimming environment sanitary but it relies on additional chemicals to be added to it to maintain the correct ph balance that can cause skin irritation, not to mention sting the eyes.<\/p>\n

Saltwater
\n<\/em>This option is more enjoyable to swim in as the water is softer on account of the salt content. It still requires chlorine but this is achieved with a special generator that uses electrolysis to separate the sodium from the natural chlorine that is inherent in its molecules, and then adds it back to the water. It\u2019s still important to regularly check the ph balance though.<\/p>\n

Design<\/strong><\/p>\n

Position
\n<\/em>Your yard space will determine what options you have available for placement of the pool. Obviously if you have a more compact area, you will need to go for a small pool and won\u2019t have as many choices when it comes to where it will be positioned. If you have a large space available you can decide to locate the pool away from foliage so that the pool doesn\u2019t get quite so dirty with leaves and debris or perhaps you want to be nearer trees or an awning so that these objects can cast shade over the pool at certain times of the day. Additionally, you will need to think about how level the ground is and select the flattest part unless you want to do some levelling.<\/p>\n

Depth
\n<\/em>If you have small children you might want to consider having a shallower pool and one that is of even depth all the way across. If you have bigger kids that are probably prone to jumping in, you might want to go deeper to avoid the risk of spinal injuries when diving.<\/p>\n

Size
\n<\/em>This will also be determined by your yard space. If you still want some area for non-water play and outdoor dining, go for something that doesn\u2019t use all the available space. At the very least, you will need room to navigate around the pool safely.<\/p>\n

Decking <\/strong>
\nAbove-ground pools will probably need some sort of decking around them to make them more convenient. Being able to sit or stand on or near the edge isn\u2019t possible without some sort of built up area at pool surface level. Companies that supply this type of rental pool will often have a decking service available too for an additional charge. If you\u2019re renting, this type of decking is designed to be dismantled by the same people too. You can even build out a big enough area to house the filtration equipment, allow for outdoor tables and chairs and even a pergola.<\/p>\n

Maintenance
\n<\/strong>A lot of pool installation companies also provide regular maintenance services including pool cleaning with scrubbing, water testing, chemical management and inspection of mechanical equipment. While you probably don\u2019t want to get the kids involved in the chemical side of things, bigger kids could benefit from the extra responsibility of having leaf skimming, vacuuming and filter basket emptying added to their list of weekly chores.<\/p>\n

Safety
\n<\/strong>It is not a legal requirement in Singapore to have a pool safety fence like it is in Australia and some other countries. But if you have little ones, you may want to look into having one installed anyway or some other safe way to barricade the pool area from the rest of the home. It\u2019s also a good idea to keep a CPR instructional sign positioned somewhere near the pool in case of accidents. Lastly, you might want to set some ground rules for everyone using the pool, like no running around the pool area and no diving if the pool is shallow.<\/p>\n

Additionals
\n<\/strong>Things like pool lights, pool ladders, and pool cleaning equipment are all items you might need for your pool too. Discuss with the contractor to incorporate these things into your quotation if they\u2019re needed.<\/p>\n

Cost
\n<\/strong>The big question. This can vary considerably given variances in materials, dimensions, maintenance options, peripheral items, decking and hire period (if renting). Make sure you get quotations from at least 3 suppliers before you decide how to proceed. A few local suppliers to try are Home Landscape Pool Specialists<\/a>, who will make sure your pool design adds a touch of luxe glam to your home. If a spa or jacuzzi\u2019s more your thing, ID Home Plus & Services have what it takes to build one. If a temporary pool is what you seek, try People Pools Services<\/a> \u2013 they claim it takes as little as 10 days to install, and 3 days to dismantle.<\/p>\n

When you\u2019ve settled on an estimate, take the plunge and soak up the pleasure of year round swimming on your doorstep in our endless summer!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
