Inground swimming pool prices

The prices for inground swimming pools can vary greatly depending on the scope of the entire project. There are 3 types of inground pools on the market.

1. Inground vinyl swimming pools.

2. Inground fiberglass swimming pools.

3. Inground concrete swimming pools.

There are many pros and cons for each of these pools. Most of these center around price, installation time, aestethics and interior finish. All 3 of these types of pools have been around for decades and there is strong debate of which one is the best. In my opinion, all 3 types of pools are great depending on the application. For example, all 3 pools have a smooth finish but the interior finish on a vinyl and fiberglass pool are a little smoother. The fiberglass pool can be lifted over a home that has little or no access. The price point for vinyl pools is better than concrete and fiberglass. Concrete pools have no limitation on shape. Fiberglass interior do not have to be redone.

As you can see, my point is that the type of inground swimming pool you select should be based on the application and the additional selection criteria will be price, installation time, aestethics and interior finish.

As to where pricing starts for these inground pools-

Vinyl swimming pool starts at approximately $25,000.00

Fiberglass swimming pool starts at approximately $29,000.00

Concrete swimming pool starts at approximately $30,000.00

Also, at Elite Pools we include alot of standard items for efficiency so ultimately the price is important but the overall operation costs should be consider as well.

Swimming pool main drain safety

Safety main drain(s) is one of the most important pieces you will install on your swimming pool. Ask your pool professional to explain how they intend to keep swimmers safe in your pool. Insist on reading the cut sheets and also talk to the experts. I have included a main drain product that Elite Pools believes to be the safest on the market. Go to www.elitepools.com for more information.

AVSC Drain

Features/Benefits

• Engineered to meet the Unblockable category (Safest design on the marketplace) as allowed in ANSI/APSP 7 Standard.
  • Get peace of mind with our maximum safety drain that also cleans your pool. This allows you to install one drain instead of two as allowed for in the regular standards.
• Available in two models, Single & Dual inlet models with flow rates up to 227 GPM.
  • The AVSC Drain allows you to plumb not only one pump, but two pumps if needed to one drain. Think of the Savings!
• Designed with a flush large opening for debris removal.
  • Most other VGB certified drains are for circulation only. Unlike how the AVSC Drain is “flush” with the finish of the pool, all other debris removal drains extend significantly above the finish. The large opening in the AVSC Drain does allow for even the largest of debris to pass into the drain.
• Engineered with Dual Levels of Protection
  • Unlike other certified drains, the AVSC Drain is designed with its Safety Baffle. This is a second level of protection keeps the swimmer from being able to come into contact with the suction inlet in the event the cover is broken or missing (the cause of most entrapment cases). Safety is our primary concern!
• NSF International certified to meet the VGB Pool & Spa Safety Act ASME/ANSI 112.19.8a 2008.
