Q: What is an endless pool?

• <div><p>Endless pool may refer to one of two things. For some, it&rsquo;s a term used interchangeably with infinity pool. Because infinity pools don&rsquo;t have a visible edge, they look endless. For others, it&rsquo;s a brand of jetted lap pool. Endless pools are engineered to fit in small spaces, but provide the benefits of a full-sized pool (think: aquatic exercise or hydrotherapy). You can even use them indoors, and they&rsquo;re relatively budget-friendly because of their small size.</p></div>

Q: What is the expected timeline for completing a vinyl-lined swimming pool installation?

• <div><p>Installation typically takes 4-8 weeks, including site preparation and liner installation.</p></div>

Q: Are pool leaks covered by homeowner’s insurance?

• <div><p>Whether your homeowners insurance covers a pool leak depends on your specific policy, so it's essential to check your policy documents before taking on any repairs. Typically, leaks caused by a covered event, such as a fallen tree branch or a fire, may be covered. However, leaks resulting from general wear and tear or poor maintenance are usually not. It is also a good practice to review your homeowners insurance policy before installing a pool to fully understand your personal liability and coverage.</p></div>
