What’s the difference between a swim spa and a hot tub?

• <div><p>Swim spas are like hybrid hot tubs and pools. They have the heating and jets of a hot tub, but they’re slightly longer because they’re made for swimming and exercise. A jet provides a continuous current that acts like a water treadmill. You can swim the length of a full-size pool without going anywhere.</p></div>

Q: Does a pool need chlorine every day?

• <div><p>It depends. Your pool might need chlorine every day if the water is exposed to direct sunlight and you use your pool frequently. UV light and constant use will deplete chlorine levels more rapidly. Test your water regularly to see where your levels sit and adjust accordingly. Generally speaking, most homeowners need to add chlorine following a water chemical test about one to three times per week.</p></div>

Q: Do you run a pool pump when adding salt?

• <div><p>Yes, you should keep your pool pump running when adding salt, and leave it running for 24 to 48 hours. This will help circulate the salt to ensure even distribution. You will want to turn off your pool&rsquo;s salt chlorine generator before adding salt and leave it off until it fully dissolves. Check your manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions for steps specific to your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/salt-water-pool-maintenance-checklist.htm">saltwater pool maintenance</a>.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth converting to a saltwater pool?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pool-remodel-cost.htm">Pool remodel costs</a> average over $9,000, so what about converting your pool to salt water instead? It is certainly an investment on the front end, but homeowners stand to save money on maintenance by switching to a saltwater pool. You will need to replace the salt cell every five years or so, but you will not have to clean your pool as frequently, either. The smell of chlorine also will not be on your swimsuits or skin, which is a benefit many appreciate.</p></div>

Q: Should I fill a pool with a hose?

• <div><p>The most straightforward approach to filling an in-ground swimming pool is to connect a garden hose from your exterior tap. However, this is not the best idea if there's water scarcity or restricted rationing. If so, you'll want to make alternate arrangements, like getting a water delivery service to fill your pool.</p></div>

Ask to purchase and new wood stove from them and have them install it. They visited the house and said no problem. Then disappeared never to be seen again. If they didn't want to do it they should have said so. Called and ask about it only to be misled. I would advise staying away from this...
