What's inside the checklist
The 7 questions to answer first
Nail these before you spend a dollar and you'll skip the most common (and expensive) first-pool mistakes.

Inflatable, metal-frame, resin, plunge, or shipping-container — see which type fits your yard, budget, and goals at a glance.
The gear buyers forget
The pumps, covers, cleaners, and chemicals that make ownership easy — and which ones are worth spending on.
Simple pump & heater sizing
Quick rules of thumb so you buy the right size the first time instead of returning an underpowered unit.
