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: How much chlorine do I add to my pool for the first time?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/gallons-in-pool-volume-calculator.htm">number of gallons in your pool</a> will determine how much chlorine you&rsquo;ll need to add to your pool for the first time. Chlorine levels should fall between 1 and 3 ppm. It's crucial to read the instructions on your chlorine packet to determine the number of tablets to put in the water based on your pool's capacity.</p></div>

Q: What is the least expensive time of year to build a pool?

• <div><p>Off-season pool-building prices often align with the time of year you're least likely to use a pool. Many contractors offer deals in the late fall and winter to bolster the slow time of year. However, if you live in an area with freezing winters, you'll need to wait beyond the final frost and threats of extreme weather.</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>
