Q: Should I run the pool pump while swimming?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s a good idea to run the pool pump while swimming because your filter and skimmers will be active to help keep the water clean. Additionally, if you have pool features, you would naturally keep those pumps running while you swim. However, it&rsquo;s not a requirement to run your pump while you swim.</p></div>

Q: Can you replace a pool light underwater?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s fair to be concerned about handling pool lights or wiring in a pool filled with water. But fortunately, pool lights and swimming pools are designed to make it easy and safe to replace the lights without needing to drain the water. Instead, you can turn off the electricity to the pool as a safety precaution, unscrew the pool fixture, pull it up and out to the side of the pool, then change the bulb.</p></div>

Q: Are gunite pools hard to maintain?

• <div><p>Gunite pools are not exactly easy to maintain&mdash;but we wouldn't call them &quot;high maintenance.&quot; It's one of the longest-lasting pool options, but its porous surface does require a lot of care. You&rsquo;ll need to thoroughly clean the pool often to prevent stubborn algae growth, and the pool will require higher chemical levels to keep it clean. </p></div>
