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>

Do I need a fence around my pool?

• <div><p>Each state has its own regulations about pool fences, and laws to protect both swimmers and pool owners. Before installing a pool, you’ll need to research what the pool laws in your state, city, and county are to ensure that you’re adhering to the legal regulations. Inground pools typically need to have a fence around the entirety of them, but the rules regarding above-ground pools are less stringent. A good rule of thumb is to always have a fence around your pool to ensure safety for all. </p></div>

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

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>

Q: Are you required to have a fence around a pool?

• <div><p>In most states, it is a legal requirement to have a fence around your pool. Laws vary by state and city, so check with your state and local government for regulations specific to you. Additionally, most homeowners' insurance providers will require some type of fence surrounding a residential pool before they provide coverage.</p></div>

Q: How can you heat a pool without a heater?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t have the budget for one, there are numerous ways to warm up your pool without a heater. You can improve the insulation, use solar covers to trap heat from the sun, or even let a black hose sit in the sun until it heats up and delivers fresh, warm water straight to your pool.</p></div>

The experience was terrible. The product installed was not what was ordered and they refused to do anything about it. They either made a mistake and refused to fix it -or- it was bait and switch. Long story short, this company should be avoided at all costs.

Everything was as you would expect from a Lowes. They loaded the washing machine up. They offered delivery and installation, but we needed it that day so we took a trailer up there and got it ourselves because it would have been another day to get it.
