Having your own indoor pool has many benefits – it’s fun, a great way to exercise and therapeutic for those suffering from arthritis, multiple sclerosis and other chronic conditions. Though indoor pools are common in gyms, clubhouses or community centers, having your own indoor pool is more convenient and fun. Here are a few things you should consider when building an indoor swimming pool.

Consulting a professional

Although it may seem easy, setting up an indoor swimming pool is a complex process that needs supervision of a builder or contractor who specializes in indoor pools. The professional will take care of the entire job – from building the pool to getting touch with the state officials to make sure that your pool is compliant with the laws of the region.

Hiring expert professionals may be a little expensive, but it will ensure that the rest of your house does not get damaged in the process. But before hiring a professional be sure to check for their licenses and references.

Make room for the pool

After hiring professionals, discuss with them to decide an ideal location of the indoor pool. Depending on the kind of indoor pool you want (an in ground swimming pool or above ground swimming pool) and its size, find a place in your house to accommodate it. Whether it is in ground or above ground, you will need to create extra space in the house by making room within or extending your property.

In addition to the space required for an indoor pool, you will also need a big budget for an in ground pool. If you cannot spend a lot of money on the pool, go for an above ground indoor pool that will cost lesser. But the advantage of indoor pools is that it increases the value of your property, which means that you will fetch a better price for your house at the time of selling it.

Equipment for the pool

To protect your house from the moisture and to maintain the hygiene in your pool, you need to install a few devices. The first thing you need is a vapor barrier. The vapor barrier, installed in the wall interior, will act as a barrier between the pool enclosure and the rest of the house. Secondly, install a moisture proof or highly moisture resistant insulation in the walls and the ceiling of the pool.

Next, you should install the indoor pool room glass, which must be double or triple sealed insulated glass rather than a storm window glass. Finally, install a ventilation system and a dehumidification system for your indoor pool. Installing the devices will keep your home safe and also your pool clean from mold and mildew. You can also install water heating system if you want a certain temperature in the pool.

Indoor pools guarantee you relief during the hot summer days and are a lot of fun throughout the year. But before you start using the pool, get an electrician and a plumber to check the electrical and water systems. After having all this done, you are now ready to take a dip!
