Can I install an aboveground pool on any surface?

• <div><p>You can install an aboveground pool on various surfaces, including dirt, sand, concrete, and grass. You can’t install a pool on an uneven surface, though, so be sure to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-level-ground-for-pool.htm">level the ground before building your pool</a>. You also can’t install your pool on top of a rocky surface. Three or 4 inches of smooth sand or soil is the ideal surface to go under an aboveground pool.</p></div>

Is it okay to run a pool pump 24 hours a day?

• <div><p>While some commercial pools are required to run their pump 24 hours a day, homeowners should not. Running a pool pump for 24 hours a day isn’t necessary to clean the pool water—eight hours is enough. Doing so unnecessarily increases your electric bill and puts more wear and tear on the pump and filter, shortening their lifespan. </p></div>

Is it less expensive to dig your own pool?

• <div><p>While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-yard-leveling-cost.htm">cost of leveling your lawn for your pool</a> or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.</p></div>

• <div><p>Pool chemical levels should include a pH between 7.4 and 7.6, alkalinity between 80 to 120 ppm, and chlorine from 1 to 3 ppm. The size and type of your pool determine additional chemical levels, such as stabilizers and pool shock, but you can get to know these numbers using our <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pool-maintenance-101.htm">pool maintenance 101 guide</a>.</p></div>

This was the after photos after they had cleaned my gutters and put a leaf filter on top so I don’t have to get on a ladder myself and clean it out anymore. Got a great price on it.
