On ground pools are built to last and offer a wide variety of options however one of the biggest attractions is the relatively
low
cost versus an in ground pool.
The maintenance of an on ground pool is typically 65% less expensive than an in ground pool. Chemicals, cleaning equipment and testing kits are proportionately less expensive. Keeping your on ground pool free of debris is also a lot less difficult therefore decreasing your time spent cleaning. The winterizing process is also much simpler; lower your water level, plug the return and filter, tie up your lines, cover the water and bring in your filter.
In ground pools come in a greater variety of shapes, sizes and depths however all of these options increase your water volume. An increase in water volume means a greater amount of chemicals used. Along with this, in ground pools require a great deal of attention and up keep. If you do not have the time to care for it, you may have the additional expense of hiring someone
else to do it for you. Winterizing your in ground pool can also be costly; blowing out the lines, having water pumped out, purchasing a customized cover, etc.
On ground pools are also much safer. The Kayak Pool comes standard with a safety fence, alleviating the additional cost of fencing in your property, which is mandated per Code with an in ground pool. On ground pools are typically not considered permanent structures by your town, city, borough, etc. therefore your property taxes do not increase.
On ground pools offer a certain flexibility and convenience that an in ground does not, while at the same time offering many of the same technically advanced options such as lighting, in pool steps, etc. An on ground pool is installation-friendly. In 1-3 days you are ready to enjoy your on ground swimming pool while in ground installations are typically 4-8 weeks (if not longer!).
Finally, if the need arises to remove your on ground pool or move it to your new home, it can easily be disassembled in a day’s work, hauled to your new location and reassembled.
