House Tour Where can I put my Endless Pool?
Endless Pools Deck Installations
- A deck installation is often chosen because a raised platform can ease access to the pool.
- It also makes for a very attractive setting at low cost.
- A deck installation can be designed to give the appearance of a fully-in-ground pool.
- The standard Endless Pool can be installed free-standing and above-ground. There is no need to do any excavation for a deck installation unless you choose to do so.
- There is no connection to household plumbing. You fill the pool with a garden hose and change the water once every year or two.
Above-ground Pictures
- A raised deck can eliminate the need for excavation.
- Makes unwanted pool access more difficult for children and pets.
- Pool's side walls keep debris from blowing in.
- A concrete pad, which is recommended to support the pool, may need to be poured under the deck.
- You may choose to install extra insulation around the free-standing pool to slow heat loss.
- You may need an exterior step or stairway to enter the pool.
- A fully or partially in-ground pool can be more attractive and accessible.
Partially In-ground Pictures
- Easiest access, because you can sit down on the side wall and then swing your legs into the pool. This is especially good for those with limited mobility.
- An attractive way to show off your pool.
- If you choose partial excavation, it costs less than a full excavation.
- Pool's side walls keep debris from blowing in.
- May require some excavation, which adds to the cost and complexity of your installation.
- A concrete pad, which is recommended to support the pool, may need to be poured under the deck.
In-ground Pictures
- One of the most attractive ways to show off your pool.
- With raised decking, excavation is not necessary to achieve an in-ground appearance. This method saves on effort and expense.
- Easy access to pool.
- May require some excavation, which adds to the cost and complexity of your installation.
- A concrete pad, which is recommended to support the pool, may need to be poured under the deck.
- You may need to add our optional stairs to enter the pool.
- You may need to take extra measures to limit access to the pool around small children and pets.
Outdoor Pool Considerations
- We strongly recommend the optional retractable security cover (manual or automatic) to keep out debris and leaves, reduce heat loss, and restrict unwanted access to the pool. The outdoor cover has a lock-down mechanism. It comes with a pump to remove rain water that may collect on top.
- In colder climates, outdoor pools are usually closed during winter months. The pool can, however, be super-insulated and used year-round.
- To save on heating costs in cooler climates, customers with outdoor pools often utilize an optional gas heater along with the standard electric heater.
- If you decide to excavate for an in-ground or partially in-ground pool, you should first determine the height of the site's water table.
- If you provide a sketch of your yard, our architects and designers may be able to offer some helpful suggestions on pool and equipment location, insulation options and installation possibilities.
