Because of the advances in swimming pool construction, many people choose to install an above-ground pool over an in-ground one without sacrificing much at all in features or quality. In fact, above-ground pools offer some advantages that in-ground types lack. The staff at Captain Cook Pool & Spa is here to help you explore a few of those advantages.

Consider these facts about above-ground pools:

• Budget-Friendly Installation: It usually costs a lot more money to dig up your property and install a standard in-ground swimming pool. If you aren't ready to make an investment like that, an above-ground pool is an excellent alternative, and Captain Cook Pool & Spa has over 35 years of experience with both.

  

• Cheaper Maintenance Costs & Taxes: Because above-ground pools are usually smaller than in-ground types, they don't require as much work or chemicals to keep clean. Since they aren't permanent additions, they don't contribute to property value, so you won't have to worry about your taxes increasing after installation.

• Safety: If you're worried about children and pets accidentally falling into your pool, an above-ground model will greatly decrease that likelihood. For added security, you can even remove the pool ladder. No one should leave children and pets unattended around any type of pool, but above-ground models offer helpful safeguards.

• Flexible Installation Location: If you install an in-ground swimming pool, you can't change your mind later about where to put it, and you can't take it with you when you move. An above-ground pool, on the other hand, can be easily disassembled and brought wherever you go! You can even store it for a few months or sell it.
