Q: How long does it take to drain a pool with a garden hose?

• <div><p>Draining a pool with a garden hose can take between eight and 14 hours depending on the depth of your pool and whether you use a sump pump. Be sure to stay close to the pool during this time to ensure the structure of your pool remains unharmed and that the water drains properly.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if my inground pool is bonded?

• <div><p>You can check if your pool is bonded by looking for a copper wire that connects to the motor and pumps and then extends into the ground. However, if you&rsquo;re unfamiliar with electrical wiring, contacting a pool electrician to inspect the motor and pumps is safest. An electrician can check the system and determine if it is up to code and meets all swimming pool bonding requirements.</p></div>

Q: How many gallons of water does a pool use a day?

• <div><p>The average pool loses one-eighth of an inch of water every day. However, how much your pool will lose depends on various factors, such as water temperature, climate, and weather. Warm water will evaporate more quickly than cold water, and pools in low-humidity climates will experience faster evaporation. However, this doesn&rsquo;t mean you&rsquo;ll need to constantly refill your pool.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between pool coping and decking?

• <div><p>Coping is the material that lines the perimeter of a pool and seals the transition between the top of the pool wall and the water. Decking surrounds the poolscape and extends far beyond the water's edge to provide a safe walking and lounging area. In short, coping is the border between the decking and the pool itself.</p></div>

Great and attentive service by our project manager Alex and the team at CCX with our roof in Lava Hot Springs. We had a scheduling hiccup and they were so quick to address it and make it right. Quality work and exceptional customer service - I'd absolutely recommend CCX for any project.

Overall they did an OK job but: - They folded over the pex that was supposed to stick out for the sinks and netted over them for the blown-in insulation. It was a wall that wasnâ t supposed to be insulated. - The floor joists were netted, and holes were cut in them for the blown-in insulation....
