Common Questions
Frequently asked questions about pools and pool ownership.
Believe it or not, an average aboveground pool install only takes one day! For most installations you’ll be swimming as soon as you can fill it up.
Inground pool installations can vary, based on the complexity of the pool, and the pool type. Installation can range from 2-3 days for fiberglass pools, to 1-2 weeks for steel wall and vinyl liner pools. Other aspects of the job like electrical, fencing, decking, landscaping, etc. may take longer depending on your contractor.
Every pool is unique, and its needs will vary based on use. However, regular maintenance is essential to maintaining safe, clean water and to protect the operation and usable life of the pool’s equipment and surface.
A professional pool service company can protect the large investment that is your pool or spa’s equipment as well as allowing you to enjoy your pool instead of chasing down chemicals, educating yourself and making time to try to care for it yourself.
Even though pools are equipped with an automatic pool cleaner, most won’t scrub, not thoroughly at least. Brushing your pool can help remove algae or any other small particles from the pool’s surface.
Pay special attention to spots where water circulation is a problem (behind ladders, loveseats and corners). Brush the walls, benches, floor, loveseats and all other pool surfaces once a week.
We recommend that you don’t drain your pool, especially during the winter. Keeping water in the pool during the winter can actually protect the bottom of the pool from cracking during freezing temperatures. We do, however, recommend a pool cover during the off-season to protect the pool from debris and cold temperatures. To extend your swimming season, consider a pool heater.
We suggest your filter system run 6 to 8 hours per day. When water temperatures start to climb above 80° run the system 8 to 12 hours per day.
A dirty or clogged skimmer basket restricts water flow. If water can’t flow through your skimmer, your pool can’t circulate properly and that could cause problems down the road. The same is true of your pump basket. If water is restricted the pump can overheat. Clean skimmer baskets daily and inspect for cracks, replacing if needed.
Pool chemicals typically last if kept in the proper conditions. Dry chemicals have a 7 year shelf life before expiring. Liquid pool chemicals will last just as long, but if the chemicals freeze we recommend replacing them. Pool chemicals can separate if they freeze and thaw too many times, so make sure you keep your pool chemicals stored in a warmer place during the winter to ensure a safe and clean pool.
Unique pools require unique answers.
Your pool deserves personalized water care. If you take a do-it-yourself approach to pool maintenance, our retail locations are staffed with water care experts and offer free water testing to give you a detailed report on how to best care for your pool. Premium BioGuard® chemicals can tackle any issue.
