Does chlorine kill frogs?

• <div><p>Because frogs require fresh water for survival, they can die from repeated exposure to swimming pool chemicals. Chlorine dehydrates frogs, which can lead to their deaths. To ensure frogs don’t hang out in your pool for long periods, safely remove them once you spot them in your pool and install a frog log so they can easily hop out on their own.</p></div>

Do I need a permit to install a plunge pool?

• <div><p>Generally speaking, most municipalities require you to get a permit when you build a pool. Whether or not you need a permit to install a plunge pool will depend on your local laws. It’s always better to check with your HOA and town clerk before digging for a new pool. Otherwise, violations could result in hefty fines. </p></div>

What should I consider when deciding to build an in-ground pool?

• <div><p>There are many factors to consider when building an in-ground concrete pool. This includes the pool’s primary purpose (relaxation or exercise) if you live in a warm or cold climate (how often it’ll be used), and if you have the budget for chemical treatments and pool maintenance. In-ground pools are often more costly than aboveground pools, but they’re considered more luxurious and hold more value.</p></div>

Q: Why did my pool turn green after adding salt?

• <div><p>If a pool turns green after adding salt, there&rsquo;s a good chance the salt is the problem. Certain brands of salt have high levels of iron that cause pool water to take on a green hue. Test your pool water to determine if this is the issue. The green color will usually filter out. Brush the sides of the pool to knock the iron off.</p><p>This is just one reason a pool can turn green that is specific to adding salt. Many other <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-is-my-pool-green.htm">reasons a pool can turn green</a> include algae growth, low chlorine levels, a faulty filter, etc.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between an endless pool and an infinity pool?

• <div><p>While often confused with an endless pool, an infinity pool features a slim outer edge to trick the eye and create the appearance that the pool blends with the sky. An endless pool, on the other hand, is a small pool with a propulsion system that allows swimmers to swim against a current. These two <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pool-types-cost-decks-and-other-options.htm">types of pools</a> have similar names but very different designs.</p></div>
