Q: Can chlorine water make you feel sick?

• <div><p>While you shouldn&rsquo;t notice water that has an appropriate amount of chlorine in it (less than 4 parts per million), you could feel sick from drinking overly chlorinated water. Chlorine exposure can cause nausea, vomiting, coughing, and dizziness. Chronic chlorine exposure (meaning multiple or repeated instances) can make you feel like you have the flu, according to the CDC.</p></div>

Q: Do inground pools have liners?

• <div><p>Both above ground and inground pools can have pool liners. Inground pools made of gunite don&rsquo;t need pool liners, and you&rsquo;ve probably walked along an unlined pool and felt the ripples and ridges on the floors and walls. But adding a liner over gunite or other pool types helps protect the wall panels from algae growth.</p></div>

Q: How much room do you need for a spool?

• <div><p>Spools can come as small as 10 x 6 feet, so they don&rsquo;t take up a lot of room in your yard. You&rsquo;ll want to plan for pool decking, fencing, and other features that may take additional space, but for the most part, a spool&rsquo;s small footprint makes it a great choice when you don&rsquo;t have much yard space to spare.</p></div>

Q: How do you find a leak in an in-ground pool?

• <div><p>You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-find-leak-in-inground-pool-piping.htm">find a leak in an in-ground pool</a> by doing a visual check, the bucket test, and a dye test. Keep in mind that skimmers are usually the culprit for in-ground pool leaks. However, if you cannot detect the leak location after running the tests, it&rsquo;s a good idea to call in a professional pool repair service.</p></div>

Quick to contact and the quote was straight forward. Had the install of my tankless done the next day. The only downside was not being told an outlet needed to be installed in our attic. We have to now find someone to do that separately. The tankless water heater is amazing.
