Inground pool costs range from $35,000-$100,000+ depending on size, materials, and features. Concrete pools are most expensive ($50,000-$100,000), vinyl liner pools are mid-range ($35,000-$65,000), and fiberglass pools fall in between ($40,000-$85,000).

Yes, you can absolutely do your own pool maintenance with the right knowledge and tools. The key components are weekly water testing, proper chemical balancing, regular cleaning, and basic equipment maintenance.
Most inground pools don't need liners - concrete/gunite and fiberglass pools have built-in surfaces. Only vinyl inground pools require liners, which need replacement every 8-12 years.
In Orlando, May pool temperatures typically reach 78-82°F naturally, making heating optional for most swimmers. However, if you prefer water temperatures above 82°F or have early morning/evening swimmers, a heater can extend comfortable swimming hours.
Concrete pools do not need liners like vinyl pools, but they require a waterproof finish such as plaster, aggregate, or tile to prevent water loss and provide a smooth swimming surface.
Inground pools last 10-100 years depending on the type: concrete pools can last 50-100 years with proper maintenance, vinyl pools typically last 10-20 years, and fiberglass pools last 25-35 years. Proper maintenance is the key factor in maximizing lifespan.
Not all pools need liners - it depends on your pool type. Above-ground pools require vinyl liners for waterproofing, while concrete pools use plaster finishes instead of traditional liners.
