Q: Do you need a fence around a plunge pool?

• <div><p>Check with your local laws, which might state that you have to build a fence around your plunge pool. If you have children or pets or live in an area with abundant wildlife, you should consider <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-build-a-fence.htm">building a fence</a> around your pool for safety. Pools can present a drowning hazard, and while plunge pools are not very deep, younger children can get hurt if they try to dive into them. A fence can help protect your family and visitors from injury.</p></div>

Q: How do I keep animals out of my pool heater?

• <div><p>Small animals, particularly rats and mice, like to burrow inside pool heaters. To keep them out, seal any entry points with caulk or steel wool. Then, place mothballs inside or around your pool heater. As a final measure of protection, you can cover the pool heater in hardware cloth or wood paneling to further block entry points.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: How can I prevent water from evaporating from the pool?

• <div><p>Evaporation causes up to 70% of outdoor pools&rsquo; energy losses, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. While you can&rsquo;t completely prevent evaporation, different types of pool covers can help a lot. Pool enclosures, however, don&rsquo;t do much to stop evaporation&mdash;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&rsquo;t tempt you to try.</p></div>

Q: What is the fastest way to heat an outdoor pool?

• <div><p>Using a gas pool heater is the fastest way to heat an outdoor pool. Gas pool heaters are powerful and can increase pool water temperature by 1 to 3 degrees Fahrenheit per hour. Using a gas pool heater and a solar pool cover will get your pool warm as fast as possible.</p></div>

Q: What should you not do when building a pool?

• <div><p>Most importantly, you should never cut corners when building a pool. Whether it&rsquo;s an in-ground or aboveground, poorly constructed pools are dangerous to both the swimmers and your property. Leaks can even lead to home foundation damage. While you can DIY smaller elements of pool installation, always hire a contractor to oversee the process. </p></div>
