Q: How long does it take for pool concrete to set?

• <div><p>Pool concrete or gunite can take several weeks to cure, or an average of 30 days, before workers can resume construction. Additional work and finishes push the time to build a pool out of concrete to between three and six months. There are many <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pool-types-cost-decks-and-other-options.htm">types of pools</a> that take far less time, so keep these in mind if you're on a short timeline. </p></div>

Q: Can chlorine water make you feel sick?

• <div><p>While you shouldn&rsquo;t notice water that has an appropriate amount of chlorine in it (less than 4 parts per million), you could feel sick from drinking overly chlorinated water. Chlorine exposure can cause nausea, vomiting, coughing, and dizziness. Chronic chlorine exposure (meaning multiple or repeated instances) can make you feel like you have the flu, according to the CDC.</p></div>

Q: Can I drain my aboveground pool into my yard?

• <div><p>It's not a good idea to drain an aboveground pool into your yard since the pool water's chemicals can harm your plants and the surrounding ecosystem. Instead, it's best to drain the pool into an appropriate sewer so it can be processed at a water treatment plant. You might also be able to drain it into your storm drain, depending on your region. Check with your city to learn about any relevant regulations.</p></div>
