Q: Can a plunge pool be a DIY project?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s possible to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/diy-plunge-pools.htm">DIY a plunge pool</a> and shave labor costs off of the project total. If you&rsquo;re considering a DIY build, keep in mind that you will be responsible for pool installation and landscaping (which may require excavation). This type of DIY project is best left to particularly handy homeowners who have prior pool installation experience. </p></div>

Q: When should I turn my pond pump off for the winter?

• <div><p>When deciding whether or not to turn off your pump, you should consider your area&rsquo;s climate and the aquatic life in your pond. If you live in an area with freezing winter temperatures and don&rsquo;t have any wildlife, keeping your pump on could damage it. If you have aquatic life but live in a colder climate, you might consider keeping your pump running and adding a pond heater.</p></div>

Q: Does chlorine kill frogs?

• <div><p>Because frogs require fresh water for survival, they can die from repeated exposure to swimming pool chemicals. Chlorine dehydrates frogs, which can lead to their deaths. To ensure frogs don&rsquo;t hang out in your pool for long periods, safely remove them once you spot them in your pool and install a frog log so they can easily hop out on their own.</p></div>

Q: Should a water feature be in the sun or shade?

• <div><p>Placing your water feature in direct sun can speed up evaporation, leading to pump damage and algae growth. Shade or partial shade serves as the ideal location for most water features&mdash;just watch out for tree and plant debris that may fall in and clog the pump. </p></div>

Q: How thick of a pond liner do I need?

• <div><p>In addition to length and width, pond liners also come in various thickness levels. Thickness is measured in mils, a unit of measurement equal to one-thousandth of an inch, with most pond liners ranging from 15 to 60 mils in thickness. The smaller the number, the thinner (and weaker) the liner. To prevent rips and tears, it&rsquo;s best to choose a pond liner that&rsquo;s at least 30 mils thick.</p></div>
