Q: What is a good-sized pool for a small backyard?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/small-backyard-ideas.htm">Small backyards</a> are not a reason to write off fun upgrades like an above ground pool. You can find both soft and hard-sided above ground pools as small as 8 feet in diameter as well as 9-by-18-feet rectangles or 10-by-16-feet ovals. You will need at least 2 to 3 feet around the outside of your pool for additional support and for placing pool equipment, but a professional pool installer can help you find a model that's right for your tiny outdoor space.</p></div>

Q: Can I use chlorine tablets in a salt water pool?

• <div><p>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. Only add as many tablets as needed to keep your chlorine level around three parts per million. After adding the tablets, test your water to determine the chlorine content.</p></div>

Q: Are there customization options available for above-ground pools?

• <div><p>Customization options may include different pool shapes, sizes, decks, and additional accessories like ladders or pool lights.</p></div>

Q: What does chlorine do?

• <div><p>Chlorine performs several functions, depending on where and how you use it. In drinking water, chlorine in small amounts kills potentially harmful bacteria. It's also a common ingredient in detergents for its whitening properties. Most people associate the chemical with pool use, where it works to kill and control bacteria, germs, and viruses in the water. </p><p> </p></div>
