Q: How long do concrete pools last?

• <div><p>A well-built and well-maintained concrete pool should last anywhere from 50 to 75 years. Concrete is prone to cracking, so winterization and regular pool repairs are particularly important. Water can seep into existing cracks, freeze, and make them worse. Most homeowners should resurface their concrete every few years to maintain their pool&rsquo;s lifespan. </p></div>

Q: How much room do you need for a spool?

• <div><p>Spools can come as small as 10 x 6 feet, so they don&rsquo;t take up a lot of room in your yard. You&rsquo;ll want to plan for pool decking, fencing, and other features that may take additional space, but for the most part, a spool&rsquo;s small footprint makes it a great choice when you don&rsquo;t have much yard space to spare.</p></div>

Q: Are plunge pools high maintenance?

• <div><p>You can spend less time and money on plunge pool maintenance since they are smaller than standard pools. These pools are easier to clean and maintain yourself than a swimming pool. But like any pool, you&rsquo;ll need to clean the pool walls and floor, balance the chemicals, check the electrical equipment, make necessary repairs, etc. </p></div>
