Q: Is it worth converting to a saltwater pool?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pool-remodel-cost.htm">Pool remodel costs</a> average over $9,000, so what about converting your pool to salt water instead? It is certainly an investment on the front end, but homeowners stand to save money on maintenance by switching to a saltwater pool. You will need to replace the salt cell every five years or so, but you will not have to clean your pool as frequently, either. The smell of chlorine also will not be on your swimsuits or skin, which is a benefit many appreciate.</p></div>

Q: What is the minimum size of an endless pool?

• <div><p>You can purchase preassembled or customized endless pools as small as 6-by-6 feet, though larger options are more common. For safety purposes, you will also need to set aside space surrounding the pool to support the pool and pool deck. A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/swimming-pool-size-chart.htm">pool size chart</a> can help you visualize the best shape for your needs.</p></div>

Q: Will a black tarp heat my pool?

• <div><p>A black tarp will indeed heat your pool. Black absorbs more heat than other colors. This heat will transfer down to the water in your pool and help increase the temperature. It will not be extremely effective at raising the overall temperature, but it can help maintain the current temperature.</p></div>

Q: Is there such a thing as a pool and hot tub combo?

• <div><p>Certain pools serve as a middle ground between traditional swimming pools and hot tubs. The two main options are plunge pools and swim spas. A plunge pool (or cocktail pool) is smaller, but you can add spa-like elements such as heating and jets. A swim spa is more similar to a hot tub, but it produces a current that allows you to swim in place (similar to how a treadmill lets you run in place). </p></div>
