Q: Do animals make a pool toxic?

• <div><p>No, according to the CDC, animals do not usually pose health risks to swimmers, even if one dies. If a pool is maintained well, chlorine should kill any germs left by an animal within minutes. That said, homeowners should remove the animal as soon as possible and clean and disinfect the pool afterward.</p></div>

Q: Are plunge pools high maintenance?

• <div><p>You can spend less time and money on plunge pool maintenance since they are smaller than standard pools. These pools are easier to clean and maintain yourself than a swimming pool. But like any pool, you&rsquo;ll need to clean the pool walls and floor, balance the chemicals, check the electrical equipment, make necessary repairs, etc. </p></div>

Q: How often should you add water to a pool?

• <div><p>How often you should add water to your pool depends on how quickly the water evaporates. Keep an eye on your skimmer box, if you have one. Top up the water in your pool if you notice the water levels are lower than the bottom third of your skimmer. This helps prevent damage to your pump. </p><p>Replace all the water in your pool every five to seven years, depending on how often you use your pool, the weather, and whether or not you close your pool for the winter.</p></div>

Q: Should I brush a pool before shocking?

• <div><p>It is a good idea to brush a pool before shocking. Brushing the sides and floor loosen up anything that is growing on the surface, such as algae. It is then easier for the pool shock to kill the contaminants because more of it will come in contact with the chemicals.</p></div>
