Inground pools typically last 20 to 30 years or more, while above-ground pools have a shorter lifespan of about 10 to 20 years. The longevity of a pool is dependent on a number of factors, including the materials it’s made of, the climate, how well maintained it is, and the quality of the installation. Keeping on top of routine maintenance and repairing issues as soon as they happen can help extend the life of your pool and keep it functioning well for years to come.

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.

How often you should add water to your pool depends on how quickly the water evaporates. Keep an eye on your skimmer box, if you have one. Top up the water in your pool if you notice the water levels are lower than the bottom third of your skimmer. This helps prevent damage to your pump. 

Replace all the water in your pool every five to seven years, depending on how often you use your pool, the weather, and whether or not you close your pool for the winter.

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.
