What factors should I consider before installing a swimming pool?

• <div><p>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:</p><ul><li><p>Will you use salt water for your pool or traditional hose water?</p></li><li><p>How big of a pool do you want to install? How deep?</p></li><li><p>What special zoning laws do you need to follow for your area?</p></li><li><p>Do you want to keep it simple or add special features like underwater lighting and waterfalls?</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What is the ideal pH for swimming pools?

• <div><p>Any number between 7.2 and 7.8 is an ideal pH for swimming pools or 80 to 120 ppm. Your pool testing kit should be able to measure both of these numbers. If your pool&rsquo;s pH is below this range, the water is too acidic and can cause scaling and damage to pool equipment. If the water&rsquo;s pH is above this range, it can decrease the effectiveness of necessary chemicals, like chlorine.</p></div>

Q: What can be damaged in the pool removal process?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s a good idea to call in a pro to fill in your pool, because there are many potential hazards to doing it yourself. Unless you&rsquo;re careful, you can damage your septic tank, plumbing pipes, and sprinkler lines. It&rsquo;s also possible to damage your sewer connections, utility lines, driveway, landscaping, and sidewalk. </p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of salt water pools?

• <div><p>There are some disadvantages to a salt water pool. Besides costing slightly more than chlorine pools, salt water pools require a lot of salt. It's also harder to find a professional with salt water pool experience to do minor maintenance and repairs. Salt water can also damage some materials, so you&rsquo;ll need to use specific heating, fixtures, lighting, liners, and masonry when building a salt water pool.</p></div>

Q: What is the expected timeline for completing a vinyl-lined swimming pool installation?

• <div><p>Installation typically takes 4-8 weeks, including site preparation and liner installation.</p></div>

Liz provided a very thorough estimate and took the time to explain all my options. She brought samples and gave me sound advice on how to proceed. The job was done quickly and professionally. My pool looks better than I ever thought it could.

I have a chlorine pool. They're just very helpful in making sure that I have the right things I needed. They sell chlorine and things like that. Their price was comparable to anywhere else.
