Guys, I want to ask is it worth it to have swimming pool at home? I realized the cost rangea from around RM50K to RM100K. those that already have swimming pool at home, please comment? Maintenance wise. After many years, still use or not?

scorgio, maintenance sounds troublesome to me. Is that why most private swimming pools end up empty and not being filled with water? i checked on some people, they even said if that happens, it can be a good breading ground for mosquitoes since malaysia often rains

cherroy, what I meant was that if the pool has no water in it, then you have rainy weather, the stagnant water may help to breed mosquitoes. Yup if the water keeps on circulating and with proper maintenance, it should be ok, right? I think I need to survey first on this. A lot of people discouraged me
because of the maintenance and underutilized facility. This post has been edited by AMINT: Jun 12 2012, 04:56 PM |

Yes, thanks everybody for giving your opinions. I appreciate it because sometimes we overlook a few things ourselves and make bad judgments

i think for safety wise, better go for stage type. dig type quite dangerous even though you have barriers. kids nowadays like to panjat2. my colleague's son drowned in a swimming pool a month ago due to negligence. for those with swimming pool, please be alert of your children. My colleague is a totally different person now after that incident. I pity him very much

Yeah, you know as they say," If you have to ask, you probably couldn't afford it". But I dont really agree. You need to ask to be able to know whether you could afford or not.

QUOTE(newbie99 @ Mar 15 2013, 11:10 AM) A few things you should consider - either liner or cement/mosaics based. Water in the pool tend to get acidic over time, and if the pH is low, it can eat into the cement lining the mosaics, and after a few years, your feet may start to feel the sharp edges of the mosaics, earlier if the mosaics were laid properly in the first place. Personally i prefer the liner type of pool, less slippery, kinder to the soles, and less maintenance. bro, just a question. liner sounds better based on my findings even though we wont have the shining effect from the mosaic. i also found out that for liner, it is easier to fix if u have some damage to pool. it is cheaper as an overall too. how much do you pay for your pool bro? please share.You can do your own maintenance, or if you have a gardener or maid, teach them how to vacuum the pool. Generally if your pool is located in treeless area, you have less maintenance to do. If your neighbour loves open burning, then you r in trouble. Go for it, maintenance is not as bad as u think. |

QUOTE(newbie99 @ Mar 15 2013, 04:52 PM) You are right, easier to fix leaking if using liner, and you dont need heavy concreting as base. 10mx3mx1.2m should be around 90k, 12mx3mx1.2m around 110k, 18mx3mx1.2m around 140k, just to give you an idea. Nice. Thank you bro for sharing. Are you using this company?http://swimmingpoolmalaysia.com/ |

QUOTE(jovial @ Mar 15 2013, 07:58 PM) Do note that pools is a hazardous to small children. Lots of kids drown because they fell into pools. Have to install some sort of fencing. Yup true2. Have to have the cover as well. One of my colleague's son drowned from swimming pool. He became a different person after that happened.  |
