Q: What dissolves algae in a pool?

• <div><p>The best way to dissolve algae is to use pool shock. The shock increases the free chlorine levels in your pool, which in turn kills bacteria, microorganisms, and algae. You can opt for granulated shock that you mix with water or a premixed liquid shock.</p><p>Keep in mind that using pool shock is just one of the steps you need to take to get rid of algae from your pool. Unless you also brush, vacuum, and clean the filter, your algae problem may return.</p></div>

Q: What should I put under my pool liner?

• <div><p>Some pool professionals recommend adding an extra layer of comfort and protection between your pool and the vinyl liner. Made from a range of plastic blends, these liners can absorb moisture, allow the pool liner to breathe, and act as an extra barrier for pests, burrowing animals, and mildew. They also provide an extra layer of comfort for swimmers.</p></div>

Q: How long does a fiberglass pool take to install?

• <div><p>The amount of time your fiberglass pool project will take depends on the size of the pool and whether you are installing add-ons like decking and landscaping. Overall, you should expect it to take four to six weeks to install. If you are dreaming of summer pool parties, make sure to budget enough time into the installation schedule to have your pool up and running in time for the swimming season.</p></div>
