Install Above Ground Pools questions, answered by experts

DIY is possible for minor repairs like patching liners. Professional services handle structural and mechanical issues.

Before deciding to install a swimming pool in your yard, there are many factors to consider. Even if you still need to figure out the specifics with your pool installer, having an idea of what you'd like will help the initial consultation. Some topics to consider include:

Will you use salt water for your pool or traditional hose water?
How big of a pool do you want to install? How deep?
What special zoning laws do you need to follow for your area?
Do you want to keep it simple or add special features like underwater lighting and waterfalls?

You can avoid pool collapse—known as pool pop in an inground pool—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.

Remodel costs vary, often 50-70% of new construction costs, depending on remodeling depth and choices for feature additions or modifications.
