But there are so many great choices out there. Above-ground. Inground. Aluminum. Steel. Fiber-glass. Concrete. What's a poor pool buyer to do?

Well, first of all, a little research. And that's exactly what we've done. We've put together some valuable information designed to help you make the decision as to what might be the best pool for you and your family.

There are many factors to consider, including: your budget; the size of your lot; how much time and money you want to spend on maintenance; and even what part of the country you live in. Be sure to remember to ask the following key questions for each type of pool you might be interested in:

1.	Price:	What's it actually going to cost me, including decking, landscaping and options?
2.	Maintenance requirements:	How much work do I have to do to keep it clean, and what types and quantities of chemicals do I need to buy?
3.	Installation:	How soon can I really go swimming?
4.	Service:	Do you take care of what you sell?
