You can find a leak in an in-ground pool by doing a visual check, the bucket test, and a dye test. Keep in mind that skimmers are usually the culprit for in-ground pool leaks. However, if you cannot detect the leak location after running the tests, it’s a good idea to call in a professional pool repair service.

You should add chlorine within 48 hours of filling your pool with water. In just 24 hours, bacteria and algae will begin to grow and contaminate your water. After that point, you’ll need to shock the water with high levels of chlorine, and you’ll likely need to do additional vacuuming to get the pool clean. It’s important to check your chlorine levels two to three times a week and add more chlorine as needed to maintain a healthy level.

The best way to find a reliable pool service company is to look for one that is properly licensed and insured, has positive customer reviews, maintains good ratings with the Better Business Bureau (BBB), and provides pricing that fits into your budget. You can also ask the following questions to see if a pool service company is right for you:

• Do you provide discounts if I sign up for multiple services or a contract?

• What services can you provide?

• How many years of experience do you have?

• Do you have any customer references I can call?

The generator in your saltwater pool conversion kit transforms sodium chloride—the same salt as table salt—into chlorine. A process called electrolysis sends electricity through the water to interact with the chlorine ion. This ultimately creates the chlorine that keeps your pool safe and clean. The cell in your saltwater chlorine generator is the part that converts the salt into chlorine.
