How can I prevent water from evaporating from the pool?

• <div><p>Evaporation causes up to 70% of outdoor pools’ energy losses, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. While you can’t completely prevent evaporation, different types of pool covers can help a lot. Pool enclosures, however, don’t do much to stop evaporation—and the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-build-swimming-pool-enclosure.htm">cost to build a pool enclosure</a> likely won’t tempt you to try.</p></div>

Does a pool enclosure increase home value?

• <div><p>If you live in an area where pool enclosures are expected, like in Florida, having one won't necessarily increase your home value. However, it's worth noting that in warm climates, a pool can add $11,600 to $95,000 to a home's value. </p><p>On the other hand, if you're in an area where pool enclosures are not common, having one might set your home apart from the crowd. Depending on the appraiser, you may see an additional $25,000 to $27,000 or more for an enclosed, inground pool when it comes time to sell.</p></div>

Q: Can enclosures be designed for year-round use?

• <div><p>Yes, with proper heating or cooling systems and energy-efficient glazing.</p></div>

Q: How much room do you need around a pool?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-choose-a-swimming-pool-design.htm">When designing your dream pool</a>, it's important to leave enough room for safe walkways, patios, and extras such as outdoor kitchens and fire pits. Your local building codes may specify the minimum space between your pool and your house, utility lines, and property line. In most cases, the area of the patio around the pool should be equal to or greater than the surface area of the pool.</p></div>

Q: Can a retaining wall be a pool fence?

• <div><p>A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-a-retaining-wall.htm">retaining wall</a> can only function as a fence if it&rsquo;s high enough on all sides to prevent someone from accidentally falling into the pool. However, most retaining walls retain dirt, which means their purpose is not related to safety. There would need to be nothing on the other side of the wall for it to be considered a fence, but in that case, it wouldn&rsquo;t retain anything and would cease to be a retaining wall. </p></div>

The sales rep was knowledgeable and helped to narrow down the best options for us. Measurements were accurate and once the door was available, installation was scheduled quickly. The installer did a great job and made sure every detail was attended to.

I had 2 frost-free hydrants installed on my farm for my livestock and could not be happier with the results. This company installed them exactly where I needed them and had water flowing in less than a day.

Loved the fact that after they came to clean the pool I received an email advising what the chemicals tested and what they added. There was also an added note from the person who cleaned it sharing what he had done and plans to do next week.

My concrete is now peeling up all over and it is absolutely horrible. They had a reasonable price and seemed to work very hard but this work just wasn’t worth the money. It also isn’t flat so water pools in it. I saw that it wasn’t very good right at the beginning and told them not to...
