"I had a great experience with this company. From my first conversation with the owner, they were friendly, honest, knowledgeable and incredibly helpful. They took the time to answer all of my questions and were very transparent throughout the process, which I really appreciated. I originally reached out because I needed help putting together a new above-ground pool, but a family member ended up doing the installation instead. Even though I didn't become a customer, I was impressed by the professionalism and excellent customer service. Based on my experience, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them or use them for future repairs when needed. Highly recommend"

"After a bit of a rocky start with some miscommunication around the timing of the pool opening, overall Tri-M has been great. They got the pool open and cleared up in just a few weeks. Despite my not being a weekly service customer as I perform these myself, Tri-M has been responsive to a few issues I've had this season. Tr-M is always easy to reach with a call - you'll get Joel or Barb and they are very responsive. I appreciated that they were willing to open/close and preform limited weekly services - many companies out here are not, which is why I hired Tri-M,. Will definitely be using Tri-M next season"

Install Above Ground Pools FAQs, answered by experts

Building a pool yourself will take at least eight to 12 weeks. After all, this is the building timeline after hiring a pool contractor who knows how to draw up plans, analyze your landscape, and apply for proper permits. If you choose to tackle any part of the process alone, assume building a pool will take two to three months at a minimum.

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.

You should add chlorine within 48 hours of filling your pool with water. In just 24 hours, bacteria and algae will begin to grow and contaminate your water. After that point, you’ll need to shock the water with high levels of chlorine, and you’ll likely need to do additional vacuuming to get the pool clean. It’s important to check your chlorine levels two to three times a week and add more chlorine as needed to maintain a healthy level.

Before deciding to install a swimming pool in your yard, there are many factors to consider. Even if you still need to figure out the specifics with your pool installer, having an idea of what you'd like will help the initial consultation. Some topics to consider include:

  • Will you use salt water for your pool or traditional hose water?

  • How big of a pool do you want to install? How deep?

  • What special zoning laws do you need to follow for your area?

  • Do you want to keep it simple or add special features like underwater lighting and waterfalls?

You should avoid filling your pool overnight—just as a precaution. You’ll want someone around to check on the progress. If your hose springs a leak or you overfill your pool, you could end up with some costly water damage. At worst, you could flood your home’s foundation. For this reason, ensure someone is home and awake, even if your pool takes a couple of days to fill.
