Can you build a pool yourself?

• <div><p>Building an inground pool is a job best left to the pros. Excavating the area and building the pool requires heavy equipment and specialized training, and pools have complex plumbing and electrical systems. Unless you’re experienced in these areas, you’re better off <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hire-pool-contractor.htm">hiring a pool contractor</a> to make sure the job gets done safely and correctly. </p></div>

Why is it taking so long to fill my pool?

• <div><p>If your pool takes longer than one or two days to fill, you might be dealing with low water pressure. Using a water pressure gauge on your outdoor tap, you can check your water pressure. A reading of 40 psi or below is considered low. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-find-a-leak-in-a-pool.htm">A leak</a>, a nearby water shutoff, or several other reasons could cause this. </p><p>If the water pressure isn’t a problem, you could have a low flow rate from clogs, corroded pipes, or other plumbing issues. It’s best to call in a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/plumbers/">local plumber</a> to get to the root of the issue.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth converting to a saltwater pool?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pool-remodel-cost.htm">Pool remodel costs</a> average over $9,000, so what about converting your pool to salt water instead? It is certainly an investment on the front end, but homeowners stand to save money on maintenance by switching to a saltwater pool. You will need to replace the salt cell every five years or so, but you will not have to clean your pool as frequently, either. The smell of chlorine also will not be on your swimsuits or skin, which is a benefit many appreciate.</p></div>

Q: Will a black tarp heat my pool?

• <div><p>A black tarp will indeed heat your pool. Black absorbs more heat than other colors. This heat will transfer down to the water in your pool and help increase the temperature. It will not be extremely effective at raising the overall temperature, but it can help maintain the current temperature.</p></div>

Q: What is the life expectancy of a gunite pool?

• <div><p>The life expectancy of a gunite pool is about 100 years or more with proper care. Clean your pool at least once a week and plan to resurface it every five to seven years. For winter, close down the gunite pool but don&rsquo;t drain it. And you can increase your gunite pool&rsquo;s longevity by repairing any damage and addressing any issues as soon as you notice them.</p></div>
