Yes, you can use chlorine tablets in a salt water pool. It is not the standard recommended practice, but if your pool needs more chlorine, adding tablets can help temporarily fix the problem.

Removing a pool can decrease home value if your pool is in good condition and you live in an area where pools are in demand. On the flip side, removing a pool could increase your home value if you have a very old pool, a pool that requires significant repairs, or a pool that takes up a lot of space in a small yard. Those in climates with a very short swim season or those with lower-end aboveground pools may also see a favorable return when they remove their pool.

The average life of an aboveground pool varies from 7 to 15 years. Quality and maintenance are the biggest factors determining an aboveground pool’s lifespan. While a soft vinyl inflatable aboveground pool may only last five or six seasons, resin and steel pools can last for 20 years or more with proper maintenance.

You can build a plunge pool in an 8-by-8-foot space. Many plunge pools are about 8 to 12 feet wide, 2 to 24 feet long, and 4 to 8 feet deep. While these pools are smaller than your average swimming pool, you may want additional space for a deck or patio to surround the plunge pool.
