Your Questions Answered: At Home Recreation Tackles the Most Common Questions from Pool Shoppers
A backyard pool is where enduring childhood memories are made — cooling off on extra-hot days, impromptu pool parties with neighbors and friends, gaining confidence as a young swimmer, making up your own water games, and relaxing on colorful floats.
Many of those benefits carry over into adulthood, but homeowners often have common questions before purchasing a pool. With more than 50 years of combined experience, At Home Recreation's team are experts at fielding these questions and helping you find the best pool for your budget and lifestyle.
Is an above-ground pool better than an in-ground pool?
Most families feel that an above-ground pool is simply easier and a better value. You and your family will be swimming faster with fast installation, while spending less up front, and having easier day-to-day upkeep on your time and your wallet. Because an above-ground pool is a removable, non-permanent structure, it’s also much less likely to increase your property taxes the way a permanent in-ground pool can.
An above-ground pool can grow with you, too. If your needs change, it’s relatively easy to take down or move. With good materials and care, many above-ground pools last 10–30 years, and the liners, pumps, and filters are typically refreshed every 10-15 years.
What size pool do I need?
You'll want to consider the available yard space, as well as plans for walkways, fencing, decks, and equipment access for maintenance. Many families look for 18-24-foot models. With At Home Recreation’s vast knowledge of the New Jersey market, they can help you determine what size and shape will best fit your yard.
What kind of maintenance is required?
During the swimming season, you'll want to regularly test the water chemistry, add sanitizer and balance chemicals, empty skimmer baskets, vacuum debris, and clean filters. All this can take 1-3 hours a week, but robotic cleaners and other technology can do some of the heavy lifting.
