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: Does an above-ground pool with a deck increase home value?

• <div><p>An above-ground pool with a deck can increase your home's value by as much as 4% to 7%, but it depends on your local climate, potential buyers, and the size and condition of your pool. Some buyers see a pool as a liability instead of a luxury, especially if it's at the end of its life span. In general, it's best to add a pool and deck to your property if it will bring you enjoyment&mdash;not because it raises the value of your home.</p></div>

Q: What type of pool lasts the longest?

• <div><p>Fiberglass pools last the longest because they need the least amount of maintenance and do not have liners that can affect a pool's integrity. Concrete pools last the longest, next to fiberglass.</p></div>

Q: Can too much chlorine make a pool cloudy?

• <div><p>Yes, too much chlorine can make your pool cloudy, especially after you have recently shocked it. However, low chlorine levels are a more common cause of cloudy water. An imbalance in pH or an excess of any chemical can also lead to cloudiness. To determine the specific cause, you should test your pool water to check the levels of chlorine, pH, and other chemicals. Regular maintenance is essential for keeping your pool clean and clear.</p></div>
