• The cost of your new pool . Think about things like the cost of installation, pool chemicals and the implements and accessories to maintain your pool. Don't forget about other potential costs like extra landscaping and lighting. You'll also have to consider the extra property taxes, the assembly of a mandatory fence and other safety features.

• How much pool insurance will be and if you'll need it. If it's not already covered, you'll have to take out insurance on your pool to protect yourself and your investment. If you're going to pay out a lot of money to build a pool, you're not going to want to have to replace or repair it yourself in case of accidents, nor will you want to be liable for any injuries that may occur. Check with your insurance company to see if your pool is already covered under your house insurance policy. If not, find out what kind of insurance you need.

• Your new pool's construction costs and methods. If you're going to build a pool, have it built correctly. You'll need to find an accredited pool contractor with a history of good work. Don't be afraid to ask for references or contact information from past pool customers, so you can check on how their pools are working out. Get several price quotes from different contractors, and shop around. If you don't feel comfortable with a contractor, then don't hire them.

This will also help you to avoid running into problems down the road.
