Expensive Surprise
Example
A sparkling pool can still have aging equipment.
A dirty pool can sometimes have perfectly serviceable equipment.
Appearance alone tells you very little about what is underneath.
Ask About
- age of the equipment;
- leaks;
- heater operation;
- surface condition;
- recent repairs.
Safety
Review applicable safety requirements and physical barriers.
Barriers and safety features are part of owning a pool, and they matter for any household.
Ownership Cost
Budget for electricity, chemicals, service, repairs, and water.
A pool adds an ongoing monthly cost, not just a purchase price.
Las Vegas Reality
A pool can be a major lifestyle benefit.
Just buy the pool with your eyes open.
Important
A pool specialist or qualified inspector evaluates the pool system. A general home inspection may not cover the pool's equipment in the depth a pool purchase deserves. Lisa is not an inspector or pool contractor.
