"  On Monday I called 14 Companies that handle servicing Swimming Pools and Leak detection.  Mike of Blue Wave Pools is one of the ONLY people to call me back!  I told him about our pool leak and he explained that he services pool and that such a situation as mine would be a job for the Leak Terminator, Justin...... I called Leak Terminator and Justin came right out and fixed our leak...
 saving us $ 1,500.00 ! 
     I have Mike of BLUE WAVE POOLS to thank for this and I thought it was worth writing this review, as he does not even handle leak detection and call me back anyway!
  Such a professional guy !  Hope to have him service our pool as well.

"Well, the first time the replacement was ordered it was the wrong one, which of course, delayed the installation a week. When it was finally installed I had to pay an additional $850 for code upgrades. This I was not informed of by Home Shield. Then we noticed that there was water on the garage floor and found that the pipe coming in from the wall was leaking at the wall so had to call the plumbing company back out to fix it. They first tried to say it was not their fault but since there wasn't a leak before they installed they did fix it. I have used Home Shield a few times before and never had a problem. Some of the companies they use are not the best so you have to research them before you commit. I have found HS service to be good if you do your homework. At the end of the day I was without hot water for almost 3 weeks but it was do to the plumbing company they sent out."

"Scheduling my cleaning was pretty straightforward, although it's best to call them vs. email.  I think multiple staff have access to the same "customer service" email account, and I received different responses to my questions as a result because they apparently did not communicate with each other.  Just call Rosie and let her handle it.
Overall, the crew did a very thorough cleaning job of the kitchen and bathrooms.  They wore booties in the house and used green cleaning products at my request and were very meticulous with their work (e.g. dusting the blinds, furniture, and baseboards; wiping down stairs and banisters).  My only criticisms are that my range still had some caked-on grease (perhaps they could look into more effective and efficient ways to dissolve stains like that).  Also, they did not clean the ovens or mop the bathroom floors.
Be Gone sent a crew of 3 to clean my house, which was little disappointing because the owner, Joey, had told me that she would send 4 people.  She did honor the Angie's List special of $199 for 3 hours of cleaning, though.  They are pretty reasonable and flexible with pricing.
If you plan on paying for a predetermined amount or time (i.e. only 3 hours), be very specific with the crew about where you want them to concentrate their efforts, especially if you have a large house.  Otherwise, if you're comfortable with being charged hourly, let the crew continue until the job is finished.
I would probably use Be Gone again and recommend them their services, keeping in mind the above caveat regarding time."

Install Above Ground Pools FAQs, answered by experts

Setting up a pool on unlevel ground is not recommended as it can damage the pool or yard and put the safety of those using it at risk. If a pool isn't level, the water's weight won't distribute evenly, putting excessive pressure on certain parts. This can cause the pool liner to tear or the walls to collapse, leading to water damage, expensive repairs, or potential injury to swimmers. It is more cost-effective to level the ground correctly before installation rather than waiting to address serious structural issues later.

While you can use a grounding rod when bonding an in-ground pool, that’s necessarily the best option. A grounding rod is an older grounding method that’s not usually used anymore, thanks to modern electrical design and services. Again, if you don’t have electrical experience, your best and safest bet is to hire a pool electrician.

The best way to kill off an algae bloom in an aboveground pool is to shock it with a large dose of chlorine. Shock typically kills off algae in about one to three days, although it can take longer if the pool water is in poor condition. After the shock treatment, add algaecide to prevent algae from growing back, and test the water every few days with test strips to ensure the pool’s pH doesn’t get out of whack.

If you've decided to fill in or remove your pool, begin by researching local, reputable pool removal companies to take care of the job for you. There are a variety of companies and contractors that can handle the work. You can start by looking for demolition or construction companies. Also, some pool builders will handle fills and removals.

Finding a reputable inground pool installation company starts with an online search and assessing a company’s positive and negative reviews. You can also check the Better Business Bureau’s reports for companies you’re considering to see if they have numerous customer complaints for poor service. One of the best things you can do to find a good company is ask for references and then call those past customers to see how they felt during the installation process and how their pool has held up. Finally, you can get estimates from the remaining companies to compare.
