Q: What happens to a pool pump if it isn’t primed?

• <div><p>A swimming pool pump has to have water in it to run properly. If the pump isn&rsquo;t primed and tries to run when it&rsquo;s dry, the components will overheat which can cause the pump to seize up and can even damage the PVC pipes that carry the water into and out of it. Essentially, running a pump that isn&rsquo;t primed can lead to having to replace the entire pump.</p></div>

Q: Do I need a GFCI breaker for my pool?

• <div><p>Most of the time, though there may be some code variations on the local level, a water source like a pool requires a GFCI breaker. These breakers detect electrical leaks of 5 mA or more and trip the breaker. However, the size of the pool and motor type determine the exact GFCI needs. A GFCI outlet with a reset button may be enough for an aboveground pool with a small motor or pump. Consult a pool electrician to determine the appropriate installation and protection measures needed for your pool.</p></div>

Q: What is the most expensive type of pool?

• <div><p>An in-ground concrete pool will carry the highest price tag of all available types of pools, with architectural or freeform concrete pools found at the top end of the price range. Although the upfront costs for a concrete pool are high, these pools tend to be more durable than pools made from other materials and will last the longest. </p></div>

Q: Can you put too much salt in a pool?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s possible to put too much salt in your saltwater pool, and doing so can cause a number of problems, including corroding metal parts and causing the chlorinator to stop working correctly. In general, slightly elevated salt levels won&rsquo;t cause serious problems beyond salty-tasting water, but you should dilute the water in a pool with extremely high salt levels to prevent damage to its components.</p></div>
