Losing water out of your pool is normal, especially when you have children practicing their cannonballs. Between splashing water out and common evaporation, it's normal to lose some water from your pool. However, if you're losing water rapidly, you might have a pool leak.

Signs of a pool leak include:

• Excessive lost water not due to splashing

• Wet spots in the yard 

• Higher-than-usual water bills

• Standing water around pool equipment 

• Algae growth

• Cracks in or around the pool

When you’re winterizing your pool, you need to drain some of the water to prevent cracking and warping from ice. Nonetheless, you should never drain all of the water. Ideally, you’ll lower the water level to anywhere from four to six inches below the skimmer. This will protect the structural integrity of the walls, help prevent your pool liner from warping, and reduce damage from debris.

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?

In most cases, installing an inground pool will cause your homeowner’s insurance premium to increase, as having a pool is seen as a greater liability. You could pay as little as $50 more on your premium or a few hundred dollars more, depending on your current coverage and insurance provider. You can contact your insurance agent to get an estimate for the increase and factor that into your total pool installation costs to make sure it’s still worth it to move forward with the installation.
