Maintaining a swimming pool in the house is a passion for many people, but there are many restrains controlling this passion for maintaining a good pool—lots of space for digging a pool in the first place. Maintaining the swimming pool by making sure it does not get contaminated by dirt, debris, and droppings, getting the correct pool covers, and costly water sanitizing schemes have made pool maintenance a Herculean task. However, the advent of above ground swimming pools has changed the entire scenario. They have revolutionized the installation and maintenance of swimming pools. 
Above ground swimming pools can be installed in the backyard of the house, and it clearly removes the traditional constrain of huge ground space. Another main advantage is that the installation procedure is very simple. Some types can be done within a few hours by two to three people. Water can be easily pumped into the pool, and the pool can be used immediately after the installation. 
The primary installation of the above ground swimming pools is very easy. A number of standard design templates are available, so one can choose a good design suiting their requirements of space and appeal. The pools are available from depths of forty-eight inches to fifty-four inches. 
Oval, circular, and rectangular shapes are available, so you can choose accordingly. Metal walls of galvanized steel are provided to the above ground pool walls. For preventing loss of heat through the walls, insulated foam materials are stuffed as layers in the steel frames. The template, design, and construction can be chosen in such a way that a moderate number of people can engage in water sports in the pool. 
For maintenance, some important features need to be taken care of. The pool covers are the most important accessories that need to be carefully chosen. They are necessary because swimming pools need to be filled with chlorinated water for a healthy swimming experience. Care needs to be taken not to let the water be contaminated by dirt, debris, and droppings. Moreover, children who don’t know how to swim must be refrained from going near the above ground swimming pools, so the necessary steps must be taken for safety. Also, the temperature of chlorinated water needs to be kept optimum. Excessive evaporation and cooling of water can remove the chlorine content from the water, making it unhygienic to swim. Thus, pool covers are a must for the people who maintain above ground swimming pools. These pool covers come basically in four types. They include: 

1. Solar covers 

1. Safety covers 

1. Winter covers  

1. Leaf net covers 

In addition to pool covers, there are a few accessories you need to consider to make your swimming experience safer and more fun. In this regard, vinyl pool liners, pump and filter systems, a maintenance kit, a pool ladder, a solar blanket, and sanitizing chemicals are also needed for proper maintenance of the above ground swimming pools. Other optional accessories include heaters, cleaners, fencing, lighting, and water games. All these tips and accessories make the backyard of your home space for a befitting above ground pool.
