Q: Will my pool collapse if I drain it?

• <div><p>You can avoid pool collapse&mdash;known as pool pop in an inground pool&mdash;if you follow the instructions on how to drain your pool safely. Wait for a temperate, dry day and slowly remove the water with a sump pump, hose, or the attached drains and hydrostatic plugs.</p></div>

Q: Do I need a GFCI breaker for my pool?

• <div><p>Most of the time, though there may be some code variations on the local level, a water source like a pool requires a GFCI breaker. These breakers detect electrical leaks of 5 mA or more and trip the breaker. However, the size of the pool and motor type determine the exact GFCI needs. A GFCI outlet with a reset button may be enough for an aboveground pool with a small motor or pump. Consult a pool electrician to determine the appropriate installation and protection measures needed for your pool.</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: How quickly will a solar cover heat a pool?

• <div><p>A solar cover can heat your pool anywhere from 5 to 15 degrees Fahrenheit over the course of 6 to 12 hours, depending on how much full sun your pool gets and how big it is. When used in conjunction with a solar pool heater, your pool will heat up even faster, all while using less energy than a traditional pool heater. </p></div>
