But most importantly they advised me of the importance of Ph levels Not only salt. My last pool company said I just needed to add salt when needed. Sarim advised my liner and pump would have lasted twice as long as it did if I kept the PH in line. I will use Sarim pool service from now on."

Standard rectangles and oval pools typically cost the least to build. Their straight lines simplify excavation, formwork, and decking, which means less labor and fewer surprise fees. Sticking with a conventional shape also speeds up permitting and keeps material waste to a minimum. If budget is your top priority, a rectangular or oval footprint delivers the best value without sacrificing swim space.
Installing a new in-ground vinyl liner costs $1,000 to $2,500 for labor and more than $4,000 once you add materials. While that may feel steep, the liner is what keeps your pool watertight and looking fresh. Expect to swap it out roughly every decade. A seasoned pool pro can recommend the right thickness and pattern, handle the tricky stretch-and-fit process, and make sure your pool is swim-ready in a day or two.
With the right upkeep, an in-ground pool is a long-term investment. Concrete shells regularly top 25 years—sometimes 50—provided you resurface them every decade. Fiberglass models often cruise past 30 years with little more than routine cleaning and balanced chemicals. Stay on top of inspections and small repairs, and your pool can outlast most backyard features, giving you decades of cannonballs and lap sessions.
In‑ground pool installation follows a defined schedule based on the pool material. Concrete pools require three to six months for full installation, vinyl pool projects complete in four to eight weeks, and fiberglass pools finish in as little as two to four weeks. These timeframes reflect rigorous planning and professional execution that guarantee quality results while keeping construction on schedule.
Following proper pool maintenance protocols ensures your pool remains in excellent condition. You must check chemical levels weekly, skim the water every day to remove debris, and vacuum the pool each week to maintain clarity. Covering the pool during the off‑season protects it from contaminants and minimizes energy costs. These proactive measures extend the lifespan of your pool and guarantee a safe, inviting swimming environment throughout the year.
