Large Investment

One of the largest drawbacks to a backyard pool is the initial investment. Depending on the scope of the project, It's not hard to spend over $50,000. While It's a big expense, one important thing to consider is that it is an investment that will drive up the value of your property in most cases.

Regular Maintenance & Cleaning

While it may seem like a small drawback, It's still important to be aware of that pools require maintenance and cleaning. Nobody wants to be swimming in a green pool. Owners can expect to spend between 2-8 hours per week maintaining the pool. Or you can elect to hire a company to manintain it.
