1. What is a built-in pool?

A built-in pool is a swimming pool that is fully built into the ground. It is often custom-made and can be adapted to the specific wishes and needs of the owner. A built-in pool offers numerous advantages over above ground pools, such as better insulation, a better aesthetic and a higher value increase in the value of your home.

2. Different types of built-in pools

There are different types of built-in pools to choose from. The most common ones are:

  • Architectural pools: These pools are built on site and can be fully adapted to your needs. They offer maximum flexibility in design and dimensions.
  • Prefab pools: These pools are manufactured in the factory and then installed on site. They are faster to install and often cheaper than architectural pools.
  • Counter-current pools: These pools have a built-in counter-current system, allowing you to swim against a constant flow of water. This is ideal for people who like to swim laps in their swimming pool.

3. Costs of installing a swimming pool

The cost of installing a pool can vary greatly depending on various factors, such as the type of pool, size, material, and additional features you want to add. Overall, you can expect the costs of installing a swimming pool to start at around €55,000 to €60,000. However, it's important to remember that this is only a rough estimate and the final costs may vary.

4. Duration of the installation process

Installing a pool can take an average of 2 to 3 weeks, depending on various factors, such as the type of pool, size, location and weather conditions. It is important to understand that this is only an estimate and that the actual length of the installation process may vary. It is recommended that you contact a professional swimming pool company for an accurate time estimate for your specific situation.

5. Permits to install a swimming pool

In most cases, it is not necessary to apply for a permit to install a swimming pool in the Netherlands. However, in some municipalities, a permit may be mandatory. It is therefore always wise to contact your local municipality to check whether there are specific licensing requirements for installing a swimming pool in your backyard.

6. Materials used when installing a swimming pool

Various materials are used when installing a swimming pool. For example, the pool itself may be made of polypropylene, a durable and easy to care for material. In addition, a concrete floor or a cement screed is usually made to support the pool. The pool is finished with stabilizing sand, which may later be laid on by a contractor.

7. Pool water treatment

To keep the pool water clean and safe, it is important to treat the water regularly. This is usually done by water treatment using pH and chlorine. Various systems are available, ranging from semi-automatic to fully automated systems. It is advisable to seek advice from a swimming pool specialist to choose the right system to suit your needs and budget.

8. Heating a built-in swimming pool

A built-in swimming pool can be heated using a heat pump. This allows you to keep the pool water at a pleasant temperature, even during colder periods. The average water temperature of a swimming pool is around 26 degrees Celsius. A heat pump is an energy-efficient option and can be used all year round to keep your pool at the desired temperature.

9. Benefits of an inbuilt pool

Having a built-in pool offers countless benefits. First, you can enjoy the luxury and comfort of your own private pool. It's a great way to relax, exercise, and spend quality time with family and friends. In addition, a built-in pool can be a beautiful addition to your garden design, transforming your outdoor space into a luxurious oasis. In addition, a built-in pool is better insulated than an above ground pool, so that energy consumption can be reduced.

10. Conclusion

A built-in pool is a great investment that can transform your backyard into a luxurious oasis. With different types of built-in pools to choose from, you can customize the pool to suit your specific needs and needs. Although the costs and duration of the installation process may vary, the benefits of an inbuilt pool are clear.
