"Initially we had an issue over scheduling, but that issue has been resolved and the work has been done. They did a great job, the new liner looks great. They were very pleasant to work with and Mr. Cotter even gave me some advice about general upkeep of my above ground pool. Much appreciated all around."

"I was pretty happy with the repair and the work they did. I didn't have any problems but they were slightly late. 

They didn't have to actually go up and clean the ventilation system but they went ahead and did that anyway. They went ahead cleaned out the furnace as well and that might have been something I would have had to have another technician come out and do. So they kinda went above and beyond there."

"Great service. Very prompt in returning messages and scheduling the work. We had to replace a downdraft vent. After getting the run around from multiple appliance stores who asked astronomical prices, I bought the replacement myself but needed someone to install it. Dollhouse bid for the job and assured quality work. The tech arrived promptly even before schedule. He worked great and when faced with some issues in setting the ductwork, went the extra mile to install the vent. He was also very polite and nice. I will highly recommend this company for services. Their pricing was very reasonable too. Altogether, I ended up saving a lot compared to an appliance store install offer."

Install Above Ground Pools FAQs, answered by experts

Generally, you do not need to drain your pool to convert it to a saltwater system. The main exception is if you have used an antibacterial agent containing polyhexamethylene biguanide to sanitize your pool, as these sanitation products do not mix well with saltwater systems. If this is the case, you will need to start fresh. You can either drain the pool or treat the existing water with a high dose of chlorine to remove the antibacterial agent. If you choose the chlorine treatment, wait several days to allow the chlorine to work before proceeding with the conversion. If you are unsure whether this applies to your pool, consult a pool technician.

If you put too much baking soda in your pool, your alkalinity will rise. That means you’ll need to take steps to lower your alkalinity. You can either add more water (which will require more chemicals because they’ll be diluted), wait for the alkalinity to lower naturally, or use a chemical like muriatic acid to lower it. 

Yes, you can absolutely use a sand filter with a saltwater pool, but you’ll have to make sure you have the right grade of sand to catch smaller particles, just like in a standard pool. To choose the right pool filter, consider the degree of filtration you’ll need. Cartridge or diatomaceous earth filters can remove smaller particles, so they’re better suited for a less chlorinated saltwater pool.

It can take 24 to 48 hours to fill a 15,000-gallon pool with a garden hose. A hose will pump out anywhere from 4 to 12 gallons per minute, with the average hose resting somewhere between 8 to 9 gallons per minute. If you want to speed up the process, a water delivery service can fill your pool in a few hours or less.

The best way to find a reliable pool service company is to look for one that is properly licensed and insured, has positive customer reviews, maintains good ratings with the Better Business Bureau (BBB), and provides pricing that fits into your budget. You can also ask the following questions to see if a pool service company is right for you:

  • Do you provide discounts if I sign up for multiple services or a contract?

  • What services can you provide?

  • How many years of experience do you have?

  • Do you have any customer references I can call?
