Advanced Pool left me a message to call them on my first suggested appointment date.  I called and explained my problem.  In less than an hour, the owner was at my door and started his trouble shooting.  His electrician arrived about an hour after his call.  He obviously was highly experienced in his work and rewired the dual voltage air switch controller which was the problem and not the house wiring.  After the electric motor was fix to run, I discovered that I have an electrical problem with my Freeze Controller and the electrician has been scheduled to return to check it out. 

Although, I paid Advanced Pool & Spa the agreed $39, I paid the electrician $225 for his service call, a new Dual Circuit Breaker and 1.5 hours labor for two people.  I was pleased with Advanced Pool & Spa and the electrician.  I could not ask for a quicker responses to a problem.   Everyone  was very polite and professional.   A day later, Advanced Pool & Spa made a special call to insure that my problem was taken care of.

Install Above Ground Pools FAQs, answered by experts

Generally speaking, you should expect to wait 24 to 48 hours after filling a pool before you use it. However, the actual timeline depends on a few factors. Most importantly, you need to shock the water with chlorine or an alternative to swimming pool chlorine and let the concentration come down to a safe level before using the pool. Additionally, most water sources will be cold, and it can take days before the sun or your pool heater warms your water to a comfortable temperature. Alternatively, getting water professionally delivered could have you swimming in just a few hours.

Avoid the dreaded pool pop by only draining your pool during dry, temperate times of the year. If there is too much moisture or the threat of ice in the ground surrounding your pool, the pressure could disrupt the stability of your pool's floors and walls. Additionally, always open the hydrostatic drains in an inground pool toward the end of the design process.

A few factors influence the time it takes for a pool to heat up, including the size of your pool, the temperature outside, and how much direct sunlight is hitting the water in the pool. With these factors in mind, it takes 12 to 72 hours to raise the temperature in a pool by 20 degrees Fahrenheit.

While you can run a pool heater all day, it is advised only to run it during the day, as it is more energy efficient. At night, it is better to purchase a solar pool cover to retain the heat within the pool.

Aboveground pools take between one day to a few days to install, depending on the pool size and type. Your project may take longer if you’re planning to complete other projects simultaneously, like building a deck around the pool. If your land is hilly or rocky, you’ll also need to budget time for the land preparation. Aboveground pools need to be installed on a level surface.

Sometimes, homeowners choose to install their pool on concrete, foam tiles, or patio pavers. Leveled dirt is also fine, as long as it’s not sod or grass. Regardless, you’ll need to install sand as a buffer to prevent your liner from tearing. Some pool installers also use a protective foam pool pad.
