Q: Will my pool collapse if I drain it?

• <div><p>You can avoid pool collapse&mdash;known as pool pop in an inground pool&mdash;if you follow the instructions on how to drain your pool safely. Wait for a temperate, dry day and slowly remove the water with a sump pump, hose, or the attached drains and hydrostatic plugs.</p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of salt water pools?

• <div><p>There are some disadvantages to a salt water pool. Besides costing slightly more than chlorine pools, salt water pools require a lot of salt. It's also harder to find a professional with salt water pool experience to do minor maintenance and repairs. Salt water can also damage some materials, so you&rsquo;ll need to use specific heating, fixtures, lighting, liners, and masonry when building a salt water pool.</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>

Q: Does my stock tank pool need a foundation?

• <div><p>You do not need to excavate or lay a foundation for a stock tank pool. You should, however, level the area where you plan to put the stock tank. Also, stock tanks full of water and people can get heavy, so do not place them on a deck or other raised structure that could collapse from the weight.</p></div>

Q: How much water should a pool lose a day?

• <div><p>Your pool should only lose around 1/4 of an inch of water per day, give or take. More wind, sunlight, and heat will cause this number to increase, while rainy or cloudy days will decrease the amount of water that evaporates.</p></div>
