How long after filling a pool can you swim?

• <div><p>Generally speaking, you should expect to wait 24 to 48 hours after filling a pool before you use it. However, the actual timeline depends on a few factors. Most importantly, you need to shock the water with chlorine or an <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-reasons-switch-chlorine-free-drinkable-pool-water.htm">alternative to swimming pool chlorine</a> and let the concentration come down to a safe level before using the pool. Additionally, most water sources will be cold, and it can take days before the sun or your pool heater warms your water to a comfortable temperature. Alternatively, getting water professionally delivered could have you swimming in just a few hours.</p></div>

Can you fix a pool leak without draining it?

• <div><p>Yes, small pool leaks are fixable with waterproof patches and sealants. It is always best to avoid <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-drain-a-pool.htm">draining a pool</a> if you can, since doing so safely takes time, patience, and a whole lot of water to refill it. Larger pool leaks may require draining, but in this case, it's best to call in a professional.</p></div>

Will my saltwater pool water taste salty?

• <div><p>No, you shouldn’t be able to taste the salt at all since saltwater pools only contain about 10% of the salt you’d find in ocean water. Saltwater pools do create some chlorine, though, so you should still try not to drink the water.</p></div>

Q: Can I repair a pool myself?

• <div><p>DIY is possible for minor repairs like patching liners. Professional services handle structural and mechanical issues.</p></div>

Q: Do I need permits for an inground pool?

• <div><p>Yes, you will need <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-building-permit-cost.htm">building permits</a> for an inground pool, and your pool installation company should pull them for you. The permit filing fee will usually sit between <b>$400 and $1,800</b>, and it should appear on your contract or invoice. You may want to confirm with your contractor that they will pull all necessary permits. You might also need a permit for a new fence, as many municipalities have special fencing requirements for properties with pools. A fence permit costs between <b>$50 and $500</b>. This expense may not be included in your pool installation estimate.</p></div>
