Q: Can you replace a pool light underwater?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s fair to be concerned about handling pool lights or wiring in a pool filled with water. But fortunately, pool lights and swimming pools are designed to make it easy and safe to replace the lights without needing to drain the water. Instead, you can turn off the electricity to the pool as a safety precaution, unscrew the pool fixture, pull it up and out to the side of the pool, then change the bulb.</p></div>

Q: Should I dilute baking soda before adding it to my pool?

• <div><p>You don&rsquo;t need to dilute the baking soda before adding it to your pool. While you can if you want, adding too much water into your pool can throw off your math and chemicals. Your pool&rsquo;s circulation system will do most of the dissolving work for you, so it&rsquo;s OK to skip the dilution.</p></div>

Q: How can I tell if my pool has a leak?

• <div><p>While some water loss from splashing and evaporation is normal, a rapid or excessive drop in the water level may indicate a leak. Other signs of a pool leak include unexplained soft or wet spots in the yard, cracks in the pool structure or falling tiles, higher-than-normal water bills, persistent algae growth or water discoloration, and standing water around the pump, pipes, or other pool equipment.</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>
