"  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

An aboveground pool should be level within 1 inch—and it starts to become unsafe after a couple of inches. Any slope will lead to an uneven distribution of water, which will put pressure on your pool’s structure, wearing down the pool liner. In certain cases, it could cause your pool to collapse. Even if you’re within a safe window, you may still notice that the water level is uneven.

The best time to schedule an annual pool inspection is early or late spring, before the busy summer season. Your inspector can identify urgent issues so you can address them before using the pool. If your region is warm year-round, schedule an inspection before you start swimming regularly. 

A 24-foot diameter pool is the most popular size for a round above ground model, while 15 by 30 feet is a common choice for oval-shaped pools. However, you'll find round sizes everywhere between 8 and 33 feet. Oval pools range up to 21 by 41 feet but can be customized to stretch much longer. Choosing the right size will come down to where you can level your yard and how many swimmers plan to use the pool at a given time.

Yes, salt water pools are more expensive than chlorine-based pools because they require a more complex system than traditional, chlorinated pools. This added complexity means more skilled labor and a higher investment upfront. Also, if you need to repair a salt water pool, finding a contractor with the needed experience is generally more time-consuming.

Generally, you should run your pool pump for eight to 12 hours a day to keep your water clean and chemical levels balanced. The ideal runtime can vary depending on your specific pump type. While running the pump as much as possible is ideal for cleanliness, it can increase electricity costs. To save money, you can run the pump strategically during non-peak hours when electricity is cheaper, which is often in the evenings or at night. The hours do not need to be consecutive.
