While you can use a grounding rod when bonding an in-ground pool, that’s necessarily the best option. A grounding rod is an older grounding method that’s not usually used anymore, thanks to modern electrical design and services. Again, if you don’t have electrical experience, your best and safest bet is to hire a pool electrician.

Removing a pool can decrease home value if your pool is in good condition and you live in an area where pools are in demand. On the flip side, removing a pool could increase your home value if you have a very old pool, a pool that requires significant repairs, or a pool that takes up a lot of space in a small yard. Those in climates with a very short swim season or those with lower-end aboveground pools may also see a favorable return when they remove their pool.

In most cases, installing an inground pool will cause your homeowner’s insurance premium to increase, as having a pool is seen as a greater liability. You could pay as little as $50 more on your premium or a few hundred dollars more, depending on your current coverage and insurance provider. You can contact your insurance agent to get an estimate for the increase and factor that into your total pool installation costs to make sure it’s still worth it to move forward with the installation.

Natural pools don’t necessarily attract snakes, although there is a chance they could stop by for a quick visit. They’re not likely to stay, however, because there’s nothing for snakes to eat in a natural pool environment. A well-maintained natural pool has clear water, so you should be able to easily spot a snake before diving in.
