"David and his pool company were good when we were getting maintenance on our pool weekly. When we switched to bi-weekly is when everything changed. We have a salt pool and we noticed that when his technician was coming, he was only there for a short while and it seemed like the pool was not getting cleaned thoroughly. We noticed slime on the sides of the pool and dead leaves and bugs. We brought this to his attention with pictures and videos. First, he tried saying that he was not aware that we had switched to bi-weekly. Then we showed him text messages where we had confirmed. Then he tried saying it was because the water level was below the skimmer box. So we made sure it was always remaining full. He also said that we had not wanted to have our filter cleaned and changed, to which we again showed him text messages where we approved the cleaning and changing of our filter. He kept insisting that we should go back to weekly cleaning. Finally, he said that the technician who serviced our pool had informed him via a picture that our skimmer was cracked. We were astonished that he did not immediately inform us and asked if he could please forward the picture that was sent to him so we could get our home warranty company to open a claim. He refused and kept dodging sending it or even answering direct questions as to whether he would send it. We have a remaining balance with the company but it is so difficult to consider paying it and we have had to purchase over $300 of supplies to try and clean it ourselves. The most troubling thing is we had another pool company come out to give us an estimate of what it would cost and they informed us that someone had turned the pump system off. We never go back to the pool supply area and are absolutely baffled as to what happened the last two months we were being serviced by this company. Like I said, before we switched to bi-weekly services, things were fine. It was not until we changed that things started getting bad and it seemed the whole thing was to try and get us back to weekly services. We now have a very dirty pool and who knows how much it is going to cost to repair it."

Install Above Ground Pools questions, answered by experts

The best way to heat a swimming pool depends on your pool and location. Those living in sunny environments may find that a solar-powered heater works just fine, but you may need something more reliable, like a gas or electric heater if it’s often cloudy where you live. When in doubt, try a few lower-cost options first to see if they meet your needs before going all in on a more expensive heater.

A pool enclosure could be a great decision if you’re considering dedicating funds toward pool remodeling costs. Pool enclosures offer benefits like enhanced security and keeping out dirt, debris, dust, and insects—which helps reduce the maintenance and cleaning needed—and uninvited animals and trespassers. Your enclosure can also provide extra shade and UV protection to make your pool time more enjoyable. In some cases, your pool enclosure may increase your home’s value.

Evaporation causes up to 70% of outdoor pools’ energy losses, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. While you can’t completely prevent evaporation, different types of pool covers can help a lot. Pool enclosures, however, don’t do much to stop evaporation—and the cost to build a pool enclosure likely won’t tempt you to try.

Small animals, particularly rats and mice, like to burrow inside pool heaters. To keep them out, seal any entry points with caulk or steel wool. Then, place mothballs inside or around your pool heater. As a final measure of protection, you can cover the pool heater in hardware cloth or wood paneling to further block entry points.

Customization options may include different pool shapes, sizes, decks, and additional accessories like ladders or pool lights.
