Q: Where should you place a pool alarm?

• <div><p>You can place a pool alarm on the surface of the water or mounter underwater with motion detectors. Alarms placed on the surface will alert you if it detects wave movement. If mounted below the surface, known as &quot;sub-surface,&rdquo; the alarm detects changes in water pressure.</p></div>

Q: Will a black tarp heat my pool?

• <div><p>A black tarp will indeed heat your pool. Black absorbs more heat than other colors. This heat will transfer down to the water in your pool and help increase the temperature. It will not be extremely effective at raising the overall temperature, but it can help maintain the current temperature.</p></div>

Q: Does vacuuming a pool get rid of algae?

• <div><p>In combination with adequate filtering and water chemical balance, vacuuming will keep your pool from being overrun with algae. If your pool is experiencing algae growth, the same combination will get rid of it with a bit of patience. Heavy algae growth may require the use of an algaecide, and in some cases, you&rsquo;ll want to vacuum the pool 24 to 48 hours after using algaecide to remove dead algae debris.</p></div>

Q: Does a pool need chlorine every day?

• <div><p>It depends. Your pool might need chlorine every day if the water is exposed to direct sunlight and you use your pool frequently. UV light and constant use will deplete chlorine levels more rapidly. Test your water regularly to see where your levels sit and adjust accordingly. Generally speaking, most homeowners need to add chlorine following a water chemical test about one to three times per week.</p></div>
