"I talked to Chad and curt and scheduled a time to meet them about a fiberglass pool. They followed up and came out to mark out my yard and check for utilities. Shortly after they had An excavator there digging the hole and within a week the pool was up and running and shortly after the concrete was poured. From start to finish the job went well with tons of communication and the guys who build the pool were nice as could be and very knowledgeable. Overall it was an amazing experience and I would recommend them to anyone for fiberglass pools or any type of pool new install or remodel."

"AHS is ok. They cover repairs of most everything under the roof of your house. The companies that contract with them are not always the best. You call AHS with the issue, they send a fax to the repair company and give you the contact info. If they don't contact you within 24 hours, you call them. Sometimes they answer, sometimes they don't. When they arrive (usually three days or so later), they service the item. if it has issues within the 90 days, you call AHS again, they are sent out with no charge. If the serviceman decides the unit is unrepairable, AHS will allow you to choose a replacement from their listing (usually not as good as what you have) they will install and remove your old item, or give you wholesale amount to buy and install your own. Prices vary on what you want covered and what you want the copay to be, plus where you live. For me it is 49.99 per month with a 75.00 time of service order. You can have more than one item serviced at the same time under the same fee. If you have a SEAR product the repair guys are great. Not that wild about the other ones they send out. But it is a big savings compared to calling someone on your own. The cost of service is only the 75.00 copay."

Install Above Ground Pools FAQs, answered by experts

Your aboveground pool might technically be able to stand without water, but you shouldn't consider it stable. Aboveground pools need the weight of water to provide adequate stability and prevent the walls from collapsing in. Be sure to fill your pool with water as soon as possible after installation.

You can make your pool accessible to people with disabilities or mobility issues by adding a sloped entrance to the pool and including handrails at all entry and exit points. A pool lift, though expensive, makes it especially easy for people with all levels of mobility to enter and exit a pool safely. Upgrading your whole home to be more accommodating? Here are several tips to make your home more accessible for those with disabilities or those aging in place.

You’ll need at least 50-by-10 feet for a residential lap pool. Endless pools need as little as 15-by-8 feet. Deciding which type of pool is right for you and your family will depend heavily on the size of your backyard and what can comfortably fit. Don’t forget to leave room for other structures and activities in your yard, such as a swing set, shed, garden, or outdoor grill.

Calcium lumps in a pool are calcium deposits that form when a pool's water parameters are not in the normal range. They can float around on the surface of the pool water, making it look and feel dirty. The most common causes of calcium lumps in pools are calcium hardness above 1,000 ppm, alkalinity over 120, and a pH over 7.8. Keeping your pool’s calcium levels, alkalinity, and pH levels within the normal, safe ranges is the best way to prevent calcium lumps and other problems, including damage to the pool surface.

Round and freeform pools are popular choices for a small backyard, although a small yard may be able to accommodate a variety of shapes. When planning a pool for your small yard, remember to take into account pool deck space, fencing requirements, and other pool-related factors that may limit your choices.
