Are pavers the best decking option for pools?

• <div><p>Pavers are a great decking option for pools. They’re customizable, come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors, textures, materials, and price points, and they’re slip-resistant. Concrete pool decks, on the other hand, are harder to repair and replace if damaged and aren’t as slip-resistant as most paver materials. However, not all pavers are equal in terms of durability, maintenance, and performance. Pavers also have their own cons that may encourage homeowners to opt for stamped concrete instead, such as higher upfront costs.</p></div>

How do I find a pool leak?

• <div><p>Pool leak detection dye is a great way to test specific areas of your pool for unbalanced water flow. By releasing the dye close to possible trouble areas—like around the seal of the skimmer—you can narrow down the potential crack. However, it's best to call a professional pool repair team near you if an initial patch does not keep your water level from lowering.</p></div>

Will my saltwater pool water taste salty?

• <div><p>No, you shouldn’t be able to taste the salt at all since saltwater pools only contain about 10% of the salt you’d find in ocean water. Saltwater pools do create some chlorine, though, so you should still try not to drink the water.</p></div>

Do I need a permit to install a plunge pool?

• <div><p>Generally speaking, most municipalities require you to get a permit when you build a pool. Whether or not you need a permit to install a plunge pool will depend on your local laws. It’s always better to check with your HOA and town clerk before digging for a new pool. Otherwise, violations could result in hefty fines. </p></div>
