Q: Should I install a spool pool myself or hire a pro?

• <div><p>The decision to install a spool yourself or hire an installer depends on the type of spool and location. If you don't have experience with installations, including excavation, plumbing, and electrical aboveground pool kits are available for purchase. Without the necessary skills for a pool install, it would be wise to hire a local pool contractor for the job.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you put too much baking soda in the pool?

• <div><p>If you put too much baking soda in your pool, your alkalinity will rise. That means you&rsquo;ll need to take steps to lower your alkalinity. You can either add more water (which will require more chemicals because they&rsquo;ll be diluted), wait for the alkalinity to lower naturally, or use a chemical like muriatic acid to lower it. </p></div>

Q: Are pool lights safe?

• <div><p>Pool lights are designed to be safe by protecting swimmers from electrocution. These lights are made with waterproof fixtures and seals to prevent contact with the water.</p><p>Electrocution from pool lights is still possible, but rare. Faulty wiring or broken lighting equipment can make lights unsafe, so it&rsquo;s important to replace lights as needed and have an electrician inspect and upgrade the wiring. </p></div>

Q: Do inground pools have liners?

• <div><p>Both above ground and inground pools can have pool liners. Inground pools made of gunite don&rsquo;t need pool liners, and you&rsquo;ve probably walked along an unlined pool and felt the ripples and ridges on the floors and walls. But adding a liner over gunite or other pool types helps protect the wall panels from algae growth.</p></div>
