Our friends at SwimmingPools.com have brought us yet another short but sweet article on the average cost of a swimming pool. Here in AZ, our costs tend to start on the lower side for a basic, small play pool but certainly go up with added features and materials choices.  Saturn Pools will give you a free, no-pressure estimate to see if we can create something that will fit your budget and your lifestyle. They did not mention sales tax which varies depending on whether you live in a city or the county. The government takes a share of your hard-earned wealth when you earn it and then more when you spend it. If you live in Maricopa County and not a city (like Anthem) you don’t pay city tax. The rest of us have the privilege of paying state, county and city taxes on our purchases – including swimming pools.

COST OF AN INGROUND POOL

One of the most common questions in the swimming pool industry is “how much does it cost to build an inground pool?” The answer to that question can vary based on your location, type of pool, size of pool, added features, etc. There is truly no simple answer. However, the most accurate way to get an answer to that question is to get a quote from a pool professional.

Before you contact a pool professional, you should first do some research. Check out the Easy Steps To Designing Your Pool to see all of the options available.

In general, you can expect to pay anywhere from $25,000 to $50,000 for your swimming pool before adding features and extras. This is assuming an AVERAGE pool size, in an AVERAGE city with the AVERAGE cost of living, extras and materials. Here are a few things that will raise or lower the price of your swimming pool:

Size
The size of your swimming pool is the biggest factor in determining the price. For every square foot, expect to pay around $50.

Depth
The deeper the pool, the more labor and materials will be required.

Materials
The materials that you use will definitely affect the cost of the swimming pool. If you choose a gunite swimming pool, this material is considered a premium material and will cost more than a vinyl swimming pool. A fiberglass pool will range in the middle as far as cost between a vinyl and gunite pool.

Location
The cost of living in your area will determine what you will pay for materials. You will also need to pay for permits, which vary from location to location.

Shape
If you are looking for a custom shape, you can expect to pay more for your swimming pool.

Extras
Once your pool is constructed, the extras that you add to your pool really customize it. Sometimes the “extras” can cost more than the pool itself. You can add features such as a hot tub, waterfalls and other water features, recreational add-ons such as a waterslide or diving boards, accents such as pool lighting, fire features, outdoor kitchens and more! You also don’t want to forget energy efficiency options such as solar covers, energy efficient pumps and saltwater chlorinators.
